Category: Finish It

Remember Beach Cottage?  I pulled it out last week and started working on the blocks again.  A few of you have emailed me to say, what the heck happened to that project?  I had intended to finish it long before this! I found some plaid fabrics that coordinate with the florals and may add them in to the mix for […]

Hey.  Not much going on here.   Yesterday I worked on the piano key border for my Neptune quilt, which I had set aside for Madeline and Elizabeth.  Gosh, this is a cheerful quilt!  Puts a smile right on my face.  Love this fabric collection by Tula Pink.  It turns out that Tula Pink is not designing for […]

Yes Sir, I can spin that straw into gold, and I think your name is Rumplestiltskin.  I feel a bit like that poor girl who was locked away in a cell, spinning the hours away.  My material is not straw, however, but bindings.  Bindings.  Miles and miles of bindings. Good gravy, I am not looking […]

I got Elizabeth off to the quilters finally.  I swear it took me two weeks to buckle down and get the borders on this quilt!  I put it on my bed and pretended it was all quilted and ready to snuggle under. Thank you Wendy of Quilting and Life for giving me this wonderful idea. I picked […]

Now that Elizabeth is all done (except for those last borders), I thought I would pull out another piecing project I started a few months ago.  My Mojo/Ridiculously Cute Basket Blocks.  I had completed all but three blocks; 33 out of the 36 I needed for the top.  But, what the heck? Where were my […]

Have you all heard of Material World?  Created in 1994 in honor of the United Nations Year of the Family, it is an amazing pictorial journey all over the world, where people in various countries bring every single possession they own out in front of their house and pose for a picture.  From country to […]
