scrappy – weeknight quilting

6 weeks

The company I work for has an amazing benefit – every few years we get an extended amount of time to focus on balancing our work and our life, while doing some professional development or volunteering. This is my third sabbatical – after 19 years. I chose volunteering as my activity and got to makeContinue reading “6 weeks”

Hustle

I finished this little quilt for my new spacious cubicle. The actual cross stitch took me frickin’ forever. I was afraid to use different colors than what the pattern called for, but I didn’t use the midnight blue aida that the pattern called for. So the finished product is a bit hard to read. IContinue reading “Hustle”

Charity baby quilt breather

I want to get 24 baby quilts donated to Project Linus this year – to make up for the last couple of years when I didn’t get any made or donated. I have been having a lot of fun. I have finished 2 more in February, bringing my total up to 6 for the year.Continue reading “Charity baby quilt breather”

They are pretty ok… This was made based on a pattern in wanderlustContinue reading “A Baby Quilt Update”

WIPeeing

I am working towards completing my works in progress. I really have the bug to get everything wrapped up and decks cleared to start some new projects. This. This is the white whale. I must have this quilt. I must. I have the ombre bundle sitting in my studio. I have the desire. I probably haveContinue reading “WIPeeing”

Tiny Baby Quilt

This is a little quilt I made for a coworker who had a very difficult birth much earlier than expected. It is a lot of improv and the “Welcome” block from Farm Girl Vintage by Lori Holt. All in gorgeous Heather Bailey fabric. I haven’t heard from the mom yet if she likes theContinue reading “Tiny Baby Quilt”

Scraps!

I have a lot of scraps. When I populated my new Raskogs, I did a scrap purge. I had to face the fact that I will not use a lot of the scraps I had saved. I saved about 75% of them and organized them by color. It was sad to see the rest go, butContinue reading “Scraps!”
