And no matter who the judges pick, we all win because now we have beautiful crazy quilted items to show off. And hopefully we all tried something new along the way. I’m particularly jealous of this sewing machine cover.
And this darling mini-quilt.
Once again, the link to our flickr entry pool is . You can find it and links to the rest of the Crazy Quilt Block Sewalong posts in the menu bar at the top of this page.

Be a basketmaker! Sure, you can sew, but did you know that you can make amazing baskets too using your sewing machine, some fabric and the same materials that you use for your other projects?
Have you fallen in love with Quilt as You Go yet? It’s a fun technique for quilts, of course, but I’m having lots of fun using it for pouches and tote bags too.
I’m so excited to share with you the pattern for our first mini quilt of 2018… Flora! This beautiful little quilt was designed by the very talented Lauren of Molly & Mama…
At my daughter Chloe’s high school (can you believe my baby started high school???), the lunch lines are so long that she has been skipping lunch! She’s always starving by the time she gets home because she doesn’t want to carry a big lunch bag as well as her heavy backpack – poor girl!
Looking for free table runner patterns? I gathered up all my favorites in one place – here are free quilt patterns for table runners for fall, winter, spring and summer!
I am so in love with the beautiful look of simple patchwork quilts with lots of squares. This is the perfect way to use up fabric scraps like I did, or you can make a beautifully coordinated quilt with pre-cut 2 1/2’’ square fabric pieces that come in mini-charm packs.
I’m also in love with the process. If you feel like quilt making is your escape from the world and sitting down to sew for a few hours makes your troubles fade away… this is the quilt for you!
Sew an easy beautiful apron with this free sewing pattern that only uses one yard of fabric! Whether you are sewing for yourself or for a friend, an apron always comes in handy and makes a great gift. This blog post includes a link to a free template that I digitized for you.

Welcome to our SewCanShe sewalong! Can I tell you how awesome this is already? And we are just getting started so you have plenty of time to join in. Our facebook group has been so busy I can’t keep up. Forgive me if I only check in there once a day. But I can tell that you don’t really need me because all of you sweeties are showing off your fabric picks, sharing advice, and making new sewing friends. It makes me so happy every time I visit.
I’m so excited to share with you Big City Bags written by my friend Sara who blogs over at Sew Sweetness. Sara designs bags and purses (among other things) that are extremely useful and straightforward in construction. In addition to Big City Bags (which comes out this month), Sara has a line of pdf sewing patterns too.
Learn how to add an applique design to just about anything! It’s such a fun way to personalize any project, and you don’t have to be an expert. Come learn my best tips for Easy DIY Applique. With a few simple items you can design, prepare, and finish in no time. For some projects, it is easier to sew your applique design to the fabric before sewing the item together. But you can also applique letters, shapes, and motifs cut from fabric to finished items like tee shirts, bags, towels, and hats.
Equilateral triangle quilts are relatively easy to make because there is only one size and shape to cut out – and you’ll cut out lots of them. Start with a plan (whether you want random triangles or a carefully arranged design) and I’ll provide some tips for making your work go smoothly. 🙂

Thank you for this SAL. Reading about how everybody is having fun I had to give a go as well. It’s definitely not the last time I have tried it. You won’t have a easy job to pick some favorites as there are some awesome creations made.
