And that would be Debbie, of Prairie Queen's Quilt Shop in San Jose, CA. Debbie does my quilting for me, and she just finished three quilts, each one prettier than the next! Madeline, in my hands already! And look at the beautiful feather quilting design. This is my adaptation of a Miss Rosie Schnibbles pattern […]
You guys are simply awesome. Thank you so much for your suggestions and offers of fabric! I cannot believe what an amazing resource you all are. If anyone is considering starting up a blog, look no further for a wonderful source of support, suggestions and encouragement. I had so many of you actually offer to […]
I am just so frustrated. All my lovely red star blocks that I made do not work what-so-ever with the rest of the quilt! What was I thinking? My inspiration was a pattern in a 2007 American Patchwork and Quilting magazine. Heritage Stars was the name of the pattern. It is a Homestead hearth design. You will notice […]
I have been having fun this past week. It was my birthday over the weekend, and I celebrated the day with my sister Kate, by going to a UFO (Unfinished Objects) sewing group. I think it may be going on a year since Kate and I attended this sewing group, of which we used to be "regulars". Kate […]
I received an interesting comment last week from Peski Patti (no blog). I would be so interested to see if you agree with her or not. Let's get a dialog going as to our preferences. I will quote her comment here: "One thing I don't care for in a quilt is a block or two that […]
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 […]
Thanks for all your support yesterday in regard to my very unsatisfactory experience with Sarah's Fabrics in Lawrence, Kansas. I am happy to say that when I called the shop to give my credit card for the refund, a young woman (who I am sure had been warned about what a b—h I was) was […]
I have really switched gears with my Neptune quilt. I started out with the idea that I would use mostly medium and dark fabrics, and not add in a lot of contrasting lights. That was ok, but well, sorta dark overall. Then my fabric guru suggested that maybe the addition of some lights would really add […]
If you didn't buy any of this fabric collection when it was readily available, I am truly sorry for you. Truly. I am deeply sorry that I didn't urge you more strongly to buy it when you could get your hands on some. So sorry. I will endeavor to be more on top of things […]
Hey, did anybody besides me jump right on the June Schnibbles project, State Fair? Talk about a cute pattern. I have had this on my To Do list ever since it was released. Terrific selection Sinta and Sherri! I had a layer cake of a collection called Odyssea by MoMo, an adorable Japanese designer for […]
