Have you ever had a quilt that was out to get you? Â A quilt that might jump off the frame at night and strangle or smother you in your sleep? Well guess what…this quilt was out to get me. Â I’m sure it was plotting against me the whole time I was trying to quilt it. …
Good Tuesday afternoon all! I don’t know about you all but I’ve had better days. You might remember my last post consisted of a cute picture of my son sporting a splint from breaking his arm. Well, this morning I made a trip to the ER. This has been one heck of a vacation. It …
It’s that time of year again…Blogger’s Quilt Festival hosted by Amy over at Amy’s Creative Side. I love seeing all the quilts. It really blows my mind that there are so many talented people in the quilting community. If you are stopping by my blog for the first time, Welcome! I hope you will have …
This weekend I played around with my Swirly Twirly Dresden block and made one using a black background. I saw all the other great blocks using black and I knew I had to make one. Here it is… I used some leftover scraps of Kate Spain’s Cuzco line. I wish I had more…I want to …
I finished another quilt today. I use the word finished lightly as it still needs binding. Gag. I might try to get the binding on tomorrow before I start quilting again. Or I might skip the binding and quilt. Where is my binding fairy? She’s never here when I need her. This is another one …
Happy Monday my quilting peeps! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I know I did. My hubby came home from a 2 week deployment which seems like nothing compared to the 4 month or longer deployments. But it’s always great to get him back home. I wanted to show a little sneak peek at …
I finally have the paper piece pattern ready for the Swirly Twirly Dresden. This was definitely a labor of love which only survived because so many of you loved the design. My original pattern was hand drawn and then scanned into my computer and copied onto paper. It worked great for my personal use but …
The last two days I have been focused on my January goals for the A Lovely Year of Finishes hosted by Melissa {Sew BitterSweet Designs} and Shanna {Fiber of All Sorts}. Guess what? I finished!!! This has to be a first for me. It’s only January 16th and I have finished the goal I set …
Well, that’s it. I had to throw in the towel. Surrender. Wave the white flag. I just did not have enough time to finish my Project Quilting Challenge piece. The deadline was today at noon. You should really pop over to Flickr and check out all the awesome projects that were submitted. But…all is not …
I hope everyone enjoyed Christmas! I know I did. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to go to Missouri to spend Christmas with mom and Gene and the rest of our family. But, we did get to spend Christmas together. That is something I don’t take for granted since it’s never guaranteed that Rick will be here …
