In the name of all of us who left things until the last minute, I would like to say "Thank God for Amazon.com". Don't know exactly how it happened, but Christmas kind of snuck up on me this year. The shopping part anyway. I am happy to say however, that the shopping got done in […]
I forgot to show you a picture of The Bowl. I stopped at Pottery Barn on the way home from work yesterday and picked up some do dads to put in it. I love the simplicity and shape of this bowl so much. Seriously, this bowl must weigh over five pounds! And Mary Ann carried […]
This quilt was so much fun to make. Bev Stookey, who I mentioned in a previous post, used to teach this class at Eddie's Quilting Bee. I am guessing that I put the top together about 12-15 years ago! And, nope, it isn't finished! You see, I decided to hand quilt it myself. Mista–a–a–a–ke. For […]
My next (and probably last) UFO giveaway is pictured above. This fabric collection is called Yuletide Blessings. The only Christmassy collection Fig Tree has done for Moda. I made 68 blocks for a quilt called Fall Frolic in the Evelyn Sloppy book 40 Fabulous Quick Cut Quilts. It is one of those patterns that call […]
Hi there, Mary Kastner, you won my snowman UFO! Now that I have found the pattern (thanks Karen and Rebecca), my plan is to get the borders on it and send it to you as a complete top. Send me your address and give me a week or so and it will be on its […]
Have you ever thought you could read your pet's mind? Sophie seems to be telling me "You blog too much. You sew too much. You fool around too much when you could be playing with me. I don't know what you do with your time, but it could be far better spent". Here she is, […]
This may be my simplest Christmas quilt, but it is the one I would grab if the house was on fire. The pattern is common as dirt and the fabrics are just all the Christmas fabrics that were available at the time I made the quilt top–about ten years ago. At the time I made […]
I gave a letter to the postman,he put it his sack.But in early next morning,he brought my letter back. She wrote upon it:Return to sender, address unknown.No such number, no such zone.We had a quarrel, a lover's spatI write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back. Poor Elvis. Sad, huh? Why would anyone […]
Thank you Susan, who suggested that my camera problem was probably a memory card issue. I took the memory card out of my camera and re-inserted it. That did the trick. It just needed to stretch or get a breath of fresh air or something. Also, my goodness, what a lot of comments I […]
I love this Christmas quilt. The pattern is an early Fig Tree called Simple Baskets. I have always been fond of basket blocks, and this was my first attempt at one. The fabrics are mostly from 3 Sisters for Moda. I can't recall the names of the groups I used, but there may […]
