I’ve been working on bindings this week. So many quilts with just the bindings to do. I have no idea why I procrastinate completing this last step in my quiltmaking. I have just a bit left to do on the quilt pictured above, then I plan to start on getting the binding on my Halloween […]
istockphoto How do you pick the perfect pumpkin? Last year Sara and I went to a couple of local pumpkin farms in the hope that we would find that elusive item. Dressed in our cutest fall outfits, we trudged down row after dusty row of pumpkins searching for the right ones. Dodging little kids on […]
The past week has been kind of a topsy turvy one, with me busy keeping up with my new puppy Ozzie, with Ozzie figuring out exactly what it is that I want from him, and with my husband adjusting to his new job. We woke up this morning and discovered that TODAY was […]
And I thought things were going really well. I love my puppy. He let me sew for several hours on Tuesday. He seemed to be letting me work on my nine patch blocks this morning. Well, he did steal a spool of thread in an effort to get my attention, but I took it away […]
I finished my Sampler Quilt that I have been working on with Lisa! I am a day late, but at least I have finished something. I am very happy with the way this top turned out. I used the Chocolat fabric line by Three Sisters for Moda. Of course I had to add in a […]
Thanks to all of you for your uplifting and encouraging comments to my post yesterday. I really appreciate everything you all suggested. I have been kind of bored and at loose ends lately, but am definitely going to "snap out of it", as Mary Englebreit likes to say. It is amazing how many of […]
This is kinda the way I have been feeling lately. I need to take the plunge, but can’t quite seem to do it. Maybe I need a teensy push? Things are awfully quiet around my house. I am not working anymore; my husband just started a new job, our son moved away to grad school; […]
I have a cool Halloween quilt that needs the binding sewn on. I made the quilt LAST Halloween, but just have not gotten around to this last step in the finishing process. The quilt was super hard to do, with all those Plan-Ahead-Tessellations. I don’t even want to think about how I held my breath […]
I know, I know, I have really been missing in action lately. I’m sorry for the lack of regular posts and am extremely grateful to all of you who check my blog regularly to see what I am up to. I’ll tell you in a minute. Sunday I attended a Banish the UFOs get-together (that […]
Some of you noticed this quilt in the background of a photo of my Featherweight a week or so ago and asked about it. This quilt is very subtle–what they call a "blended" quilt. All the colors are pretty much the same tones so one print or color just blends into the next, making the […]
