I finished the top for this quilt in early December, and dropped it off at the quilters and got it back in early March. Booo. But I couldn’t face quilting something this large on my little machine. But I can’t face waiting that long for a quilt to get back to me again. Conundrum.Continue reading “Grey Squares Bed Quilt: Finished!”

Spring Storage
It has been a tough winter. Can I get an Amen? The weather almost everywhere has been cruddy. Our weather has been better than most, so I can’t imagine how hard this winter has been for some areas of the US. I think the snow and freezing has passed (knock on wood), and coincidentally thingsContinue reading “Spring Storage”
Tiny Rainbow Heart
When I finished Polly’s quilt, I wasn’t quite done with rainbow hearts. I loved how happy the simple patchwork and, well, rainbow, of colors made me. So I made a tiny one. It is the first installment on my mini quilt rod that DH installed for me. Love, Love, Love that man. I have roomContinue reading “Tiny Rainbow Heart”
Puppy Love Rainbow Heart Quilt
My parents’ pup turned two this year – and she didn’t have a quilt of her own. I know!! She is a working dog – going to and fro HMS Beagle everyday, so a quilt for her spot is a good thing. I wanted to make her a heart because i loooooooves her. And IContinue reading “Puppy Love Rainbow Heart Quilt”
The state of things: frustration, delay, too much to do
I have a lot going on. My sewing eyes were bigger than my sewing stomach. Too Much To Do The deadline for my three-zip pouch partner swap is fast approaching. I have made two pouches – one for my mom that was pretty, if not a wee bit wonky – the other abysmal – gorgeousContinue reading “The state of things: frustration, delay, too much to do”
Thursday Therapy: Gift Boxes
Today is a two-fer. I missed posting last week – I didn’t miss sewing, I just missed posting. Last week I made this little beauty – the super versatile gift box block pattern from Shape Workshop. So fun to make – and I *might* have been in the Valentine’s Day spirit when I worked onContinue reading “Thursday Therapy: Gift Boxes”
Happy Birthday, Mom!
This is a close-up of one of my favorite things in the world – my Ginger Jar wall quilt my mom made me. The applique and quilting are gorgeous. My mom seems to effortlessly bring joy and love and beauty to everything she touches. I aspire to be my mom – to be as kindContinue reading “Happy Birthday, Mom!”
Arrrrghhh!
This is a quilt for the pending baby of my cousin Josh. I really love this quilt. The theme for the baby’s room is Pirate. I asked Josh’s mom what the theme was when I was thinking about the quilt to make, and it was duh, Pirate. Josh and his wife take pirate-themed vacations whereContinue reading “Arrrrghhh!”
Thursday Therapy: Framed Windmill
Since I got home from work yesterday, all I have wanted to do is dig into the Kristyne Czepuryk Blogger’s Choice bundle that showed up in the mail yesterday. I drifted off dreaming of those dreamy fabrics. But I made a committment to myself to clean my closet today. And I did. But after thatContinue reading “Thursday Therapy: Framed Windmill”
Fabric Fancy: Glasses
Today’s fabric fancy all started with this post on Red Pepper Quilts. I love love love her quilts, and I can guarantee that whatever fabric she backs her quilts in, I will want a million yards of it. I usually am able to resist, but I absolutely couldn’t with that Julia Rothman typewriter print. WhichContinue reading “Fabric Fancy: Glasses”
