I am happy to say that I have made some major progress with the blended quilt challenge.  The large toile triangles have been attached, and so has the gold border with four patch corner squares.  The thing about medallion quits is that the final reveal is not going to be much of a surprise, since […]

I’m not proud of this.  This is a corner of my bedroom, that seems to be expanding by the hour.  It is my Christmas gift corner, where I have been dropping my purchased gifts as I bring them in the house.  I have a BIG family, and we all exchange gifts.  A good proportion of […]

On Friday, I went to my favorite quilt shop, Prairiequeens, for a day of open sewing with my friends.  I love that place.  I always feel welcome, and I always enjoy the company of the great employees, owner, long arm quilters, teachers and general hangers-out.  It is the kind of place that everyone should have […]

I love my Challenge Quilt fabrics!  I think I love all blended quilt fabrics, but I guess you all have figured that out by now.  This is the center medallion of the quilt I am making.  Please check out Cindy, Perry, and Lisa‘s blogs to see their posts on what they have gotten done so […]

  I am still waiting for the fabric to arrive for the blended quilt project I am working on with my blogging friends Perry, Cindy, and Lisa.  I ordered it Sunday and it is Friday already and it still has not arrived.  Since I am completely obsessed with making a blended quilt NOW, fabric or […]

  This is not the quilt pattern I have chosen for the Blended Quilt Challenge.  Really.  At least I don’t think so.  But while I am waiting for the fabrics for my REAL project to arrive, look what I made with the auxillary back up fabrics?  Isn’t it pretty?  I love those calm blues.  I […]

The Fat Goose would be me of course.  Where did these four new pounds come from I ask you?  I have been working hard getting my holiday decorations out, and I am pretty sure I have missed at least a couple of meals.  Go figure.  I need to get a grip on it though, and […]
