This is a good example of why it isn't a good idea to leave things until the last minute. My plan was to whip Cindy Lou Who together on Saturday when I had the whole day off. My nine patches were done, all I had to do was make the snowball stars. I laid the […]
I finished my Birdseye quilt top, that's what's going on! I haven't trimmed it yet, and I want to examine all the little block intersections to make sure they line up right, but all in all, FINI! This quilt is way big. I was going to add the perfect border fabric from the Sturbridge Harvest […]
My sister Andrea was given the old quilt pictured above. She has been blogging about her dilemma concerning this quilt on her blog Under A Blue Moon, and has asked me to post a picture of it and raise the questions that have been on her mind. You see, this quilt is in not such […]
Have you heard about the Red and White Snowball Challenge? Some of us are going to make a quilt from the Evelyn Sloppy book 40 Fabulous Quick Cut Quilts, called "Leftovers Again?". It is the most perfect stash reduction quilt you ever saw. You can make it in one color (plus lights) or go wild […]
What do you think? Like the looks of this quilt? Me too. Would you like one of your own? Yup, me too. Allyson of Fat Cat Quilts took this picture while she was on a recent road trip through Utah. Of course she stopped at all the quilt shops, and this was one of many […]
getty images Hey, Quilters! Isn't this a fun image for fall? Does the season influence the fabrics you choose to work with? Have you ever made a fall leaf quilt? I have made a couple of them. My first effort was quite exciting for me. I made it 15 years ago or so, after a […]
I am trying to get some sewing done here. I have my little Birdseye Star Block units all cut out and ready to sew together. I have time, I am organized and prepared, and there is nothing stopping me. Except for this little devil, who is bored and wants my attention. Who is going through […]
You would laugh if you could see me doing my little happy dance. I love these blocks. Each one is unique and so much fun to put together. I have seven done, out of 24 (or is it 25?). If I make six a day, this Birdseye quilt will be a reality in no time. […]
Now that my husband is working in the Big City, he takes Ozzie with him and stays all week at my father's house in Palo Alto. It is a complicated arrangement, but both my daughter Sara and her little dog Remy stay at my dad's during the week as well. Luckily Ozzie and Remy are […]
I woke up this morning with the beginnings of a little cold or virus or something. Achey, snozzley, big cold sore on the lip. A perfect day to make a pot of tea and call in sick. Sick, but not too sick to work on a certain sewing project. Heh heh heh. I emailed the […]
