My stack of unfinished projects is growing. Boo! So I took some time to finish some stuff up. First up, the top that will be for Project Linus or maybe a friend’s baby… regardless, this fabric is gorgeous. I finished all those little 2″ squares. Love. Next, the top of a Project Linus quilt withContinue reading “Done: Two Tops and a Back!”

#feathersQAL #catchup
The good news is that I need to make at least three quilts for my new living room so that everybody can be cuddled up when it gets cold in our drafty old house. The bad news is that my living room has a color palette not reminiscent of Easter Bunny farts. We went withContinue reading “#feathersQAL #catchup”
Fabric Fancy: Grey, Grey, Grey, and Grey
I am obsessed with greys. Ever since this quilt, I have loved adding grey to bright colors – here and in my new bed quilt which I hope to get back from the quilters soon. I didn’t have any greys when I started quilting again a few months ago, and so I am trying toContinue reading “Fabric Fancy: Grey, Grey, Grey, and Grey”

I love the combination of Aqua and Red. And it seems to be around quite a bit… My January calendar A recent cover of Love Patchwork & Quilting The color selection for Aurifil’s 2014 QAL If you search for “aqua and red” on Pinterest, you definitely get an eyeful! I love the combination, but itContinue reading “Color Crush”
Sublime!!
When working on a project, I spend half my time thinking about the recipient loving the gift. So I am full of joy to get this picture of this beautiful little girl smiling on top of the quilt I made for her. Happy happy joy joy, indeed.
Thursday Therapy
I bought this lovely book with a gift card I received for Christmas. It really has lots of wonderful patterns in it – and I have been thinking about working on a sampler quilt to build my skill. So on Thursdays, I am going to do a little patchwork therapy for myself – and inContinue reading “Thursday Therapy”
FOCUS!!
No. More. Fabric. I mean it, srsly. Total ban on all fabric shopping until Valentine’s day. This. Means. You. (well, me). I have tried to focus on projects that use up my stash – the problem is that so much of it is pretty old and not what I would choose to quilt with nowadays.Continue reading “FOCUS!!”
Commissions in Gray
One of the things that makes me happiest is when a friend asks for a piece of custom work. It does wonders for my ego, as well as give me a chance to design something with someone else’s style vantage. First up – some dinosaur earrings. They are made using plastic dinosaurs and an outdoorContinue reading “Commissions in Gray”
Perfect Fabric Ribbon Squares
The squares aren’t perfect, but the fabric is. I spent many weeks trying to find the perfect fabric to fill up a big space in my dining room. I wanted something with enough color variation that I could do lots of different things with tablescapes, and bright but not too childish, and lots of blooms.Continue reading “Perfect Fabric Ribbon Squares”
Blue Grey Squares
A wide and short wall hanging to cover the weird bit of wall above our bed. I don’t have a lot of wall space in this house, so I use almost every little blank spot. I am loving squares. And I loved doing the diagonal straight line quilting in this one. Might be my thang.
