I now have most of my blocks from the 12 Squared Bee. I’m not sure how I’m going to put them together… With sashing? No sashing? “Reassembled” blocks? Some of both? Or I might go in a completely different direction all together! We’ll see! In other news, we just found out that we’re moving. To [...]
Today’s the day that I’m part of the Whip Up Mini Quilt book blog tour! Hurray! It’s such a great book. It starts with a very thorough run down of quilting – how to and loads of tips and tricks. All the info you need in one place. Then you get to the quilts… oh [...]
Just so busy that the poor blog is seriously suffering. Lots of sewing going on but I can’t show you here. I have managed to squeeze in a block or two for bees and so on… Got to work with some beautiful shot cottons for Sew Connected 2. And a couple of blocks for the [...]
And no – they don’t have anything to do with each other! Got some bee blocks done recently: For Linda and 12Squared: And for John and Bee Imaginative. And to wrap up, you’ve all met my cats before, but not my dogs. I was able to snap a particularly good photo of them this weekend, [...]
Put this little house up on Flickr yesterday (for the Bee Imaginative bee) and people seem to like it so I thought I’d pop it up over here on the blog too. Yes, Mr. Gnome IS off gathering more mushrooms while deer & birdie wait for him at home. He’ll be back soon. And then [...]
With the Block Party quilt along about to get started and all of the new bees popping up over in the flickr group, I’ve had bees on the brain! I made two more blocks for 12 Squared: The request was any sort of block you want. Was tough to decide but there’s a lot more [...]
Some very happy news out of my world today! I’m thrilled to announce that I will be writing a book with Kristen, my co-host of Block Party and we are so excited. C & T Publishing will publish it and it’s going to be about YOU! Ok, well, maybe not you specifically, but about all [...]
Some blocks for two of the bees I’m in… Some wonky stars for 12 Squared. and some houses for Sew Connected 2! You’ve seen the dog before, it’s just taken me forever to get to making the second little house. Let’s pretend that the wind blew the roof to one side a bit. Happy weekend!
Like coming home to a huge box of batting. Oh batting! You have such potential… Or actually having a little something going on on the design wall… Progress on blocks for one of the bees I’m in. On a completely different topic…. A couple of you have mentioned Project Runway so I thought I would [...]
I’ve been getting lots of sewing details out of the way recently. I made a cute sample quilt for my class later this month. It’s little – 24″ x 36″ and makes me realize I need to branch out in my quilting more. I love the texture all these straight lines give it. Also stitching [...]
