In an effort to tackle some neglected UFO's, I got out my Scrappy Trips project box. I had printed out the online pattern instructions back in May 2013, so this has been in the works a good year and a half. I love these fun, cheery, mainly primary colored fabrics. A quilt in this color […]
Have any of you seen these neat new pins? They came to my attention a few months ago, and I even have some in my Amazon "Wish List" to buy sometime. I guess I can remove that item from my list, because I received this box as a holiday gift. They are called Marilee's Numbered […]
As you can see I am making good progress on my Rhubarb Whirl blocks. More on that later. No, I didn't lose my mind and start making light blue pinwheels to go with it. The blue pinwheels are blocks from a project Sara started a year or so ago. A dear friend of hers is […]
Just got the binding on this little quilt for Eva's room last week. I've had some requests to show more of it, so here you go. I made the quilt back in 2009–here is a link to my post on making it with all the pattern information. I absolutely loved making this quilt. […]
How clever is this? Don't you hate it when you microwave your leftovers and the bowl is too hot to handle when you take it out of the microwave? Me too. I found two tutorials on how to make these clever little bowl cozys just before Christmas. Too late for me to make for gifts […]
I thought it would be fun do something a little different regarding my 2014 projects. I am sharing what I Did Not Finish this past year, along with excuses comments on why I put the project away and what my plan is for a finish. FIrst up are the quilts I really will complete. […]
I was somewhat more productive the second half of 2014. I finished a good number of quilts, but also constructed some non-quilt projects and decorative items. July July was The Month of the Quick Curve Ruler. I had mixed results using this tool, but Metro Hoops, above, is my favorite finish using the ruler. […]
2014 was an awesome year for quilt projects. For me, it was The Year of Curved Piecing, a trend I hope will continue into 2015 and beyond. 2014 was also The Year of Making Smaller Quilts, which I found to be rewarding. I also finished up some UFOs and got a couple of things quilted […]
New Year's Resolutions? Nah. I don't think so. Not this year. Oh, maybe I do have one. I will make an effort not to use so many exclamation points when I write. However, the New Year does make me start thinking of all the quilt projects I would like to tackle. My head is full […]
This has been the best holiday season ever. It was so wonderful to have the family together under one roof, and we had many many lovely moments that I will treasure throughout the upcoming year and beyond. My son left to return to Ireland on New Year's Eve day. Wonder how the folks on board […]
