That was such an interesting discussion of whether or not our pets should be allowed on our quilts. The general consensus was that they should be, unless they might potentially damage the quilt (due to sharp nails or a tendancy to chew on them). We quilters are an open hearted and generous breed. I […]
Here are my sleepy dogs, settling in for their morning naps. They have had their walk and their breakfasts, and are going back to bed for a little lie in. They can be good sometimes. For short periods of time. And yes, that is one of my favorite quilts that Ozzie is lying on. Zuzu's […]
Several friends have remarked on the recent posts with photos of Sophie, and wondered how her brother Ozzie is doing. He is doing just fine. Same ol', same ol'. I had thought perhaps he had given up his wild ways and penchant for chewing things up. I had hoped that he had now settled down […]
I had such a great time participating in the OP Sew Along that Pat Sloan hosted this weekend! My version of orange was a bit toned down I suppose, but it worked for me. While I was working on the challenge quilt, a little bell tinkled in the back of my mind. I vaguely recalled […]
Borders on, last seam sewn, quilt top pressed, photo taken. I am done! Thanks to any of you who were interested enough to follow along with this marathon quilting extravaganza in orange! I enjoyed it and hope you did too.
I decided on a diagonal set for my OP Sew Along quilt. There was just *barely* enough of the light fabric left for the setting triangles. I really squeaked by on this one! The results please me very much. It is plenty orange all right, but not in too much of an "in your face" […]
I staggered out of bed this morning for my coffee, choosing the orangest cup I own, and turned on the computer to see what was up with Pat Sloan's OP (Orange Pile) Sew Along. Carrie finished her entire quilt yesterday! She did a mini size and it is a wonderful study in the use of […]
This is so much fun! Pat, you are such a dear for putting this all together. I hope all the rest of the participants are enjoying their results as much as I am. Had my orange lunch of tomato soup, and now I am ready to get some more blocks made!
I have changed my mind. I was rummaging in the back of the stash closet for maybe one more fat quarter of orange, and found an entire bundle of orange, aqua, green and brown fabrics. How could I have forgotten I had this? It is so perfect, I just had to start over. New color […]
Oh my gosh, how fun is this? I am on a virtual quilting retreat with dozens of women, all of us making a quilt with orange fabrics! I plan to post several times a day during the three days of the Sew Along Pat Sloan has organized. I have my computer all set up close […]
