Well, due to my injury, typing is a bit of a struggle, still. Thank you for your expressions of sympathy, I appreciate it so much. Because of my bum finger I haven't been able to respond to each comment–it takes forever! It is such an ordeal to type. My husband took pity on me and […]
This will be brief, as you can see my finger isn't up to typing so well. This may be the first on record curved piecing related injury. I actually got my finger under the needle trying to manuever the fabric. Don't ask. They told me at Urgent Care that I won the prize for weirdest […]
No, I don't mean hiding fabric, as in hiding it from your family so they don't do a hoarder intervention. I mean fabric that is hiding from YOU. Look at that fold of fabric in the photo above. I had purchased it maybe five years ago, and it has been sitting in a bin labelled […]
Hey there, I wanted to give an update on my progress with my Quick Curve Ruler project. First of all, I have changed my mind on fabric three times and on the pattern once. I had originally planned to do the project in the fabric you see above, Oh My! by Sanae. I changed my […]
I know. Just reflect on that for a moment. When I was reminded that I had made a blue and white Winding Ways quilt awhile back, I decided to see if I could dig it out of the flimsy bin. Well, bless my heart, it wasn't the only blue quilt waiting to be quilted in […]
Hey everyone! Hope you all had a splendid weekend. Now that summer has officially arrived, I am going to be doing a sew along with two friends, using the Quick Curve Ruler designed by Jenny Pedigo of Sew Kind of Wonderful. I hope you will check out Jenny's blog, where she has tutorials on how […]
I knew this red and white quilt block reminded me of something. A couple of years ago I made a blue and white quilt called Winding Ways that called for using a template and doing curved piecing. I really enjoyed making the quilt, and found the curved piecing not difficult at all. This red […]
The new red and white project I started last weekend has a very interesting tool that makes constructing the blocks quite easy. The toosl I am using are called the Tri Recs rulers, designed by Darlene Zimmerman and Joy Hoffman for EZ Tools. They are sold together as a set, and both shapes are required […]
The new project I started came from this hot-off-the-press American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine. The pattern is called Give It Your Best Dot, for the fun polka dot fabric used in the sample quilt. I don't really care about all those polka dot fabrics, but I do love the block that is featured in the […]
Ok, enough of the pastels already. I can't stand another minute of their sweet overload. Give me some RED. Whew. That's better. More on this new project to come!
