Happy Wednesday! lots going on, so much that I didn’t have time (gasp!) for Tacky Tuesday – so it will be back next week!
The first HUGE news is that I’ve posted the photos of the Denver Art Museum Crazy Quilts. I’m going to be adding more and more background information on them, but that [...]
ShareI spent the day yesterday away from the computer – hooray! So I have a lot to show for it. I made HUGE progress on my journal cover. I think today (or tomorrow at the latest) I’ll be done and I’m finally happy with it (I know, shocking). My friend Rhonda pointed out the spider [...]
ShareWe just got back from a wonderful trip to South Dakota and I really enjoyed the time in the car stitching. Some of you may remember the book cover I’m working on. I just hated the design on the one side, I tried to dye it, and all sorts of things…finally I just edited it [...]

Partially because it will be really really fun to have them here and partially because this is when my stupidity pays off. I really now know my limits and taking a [...]

OK, so, as mentioned in my last post, I had my Crazy quilting Groups class today and learned how to do these spectacular flowers! There are more to come, but this was the first one…fairly easy and pretty spiffy results, eh? It’s done with peyote stitch. Then, my round robin block finally came home. This [...]

I am SO close to finished with the pillow:I think it looks great! (and I don’t often say that about my stuff) but the lace I’m using for the edge is TOO SHORT! ARRRRGH! So, I guess I’ll run up and get a length and piece it in. It’s WAY too expensive of lace to [...]

There’s good “white” and there’s bad white! I’ve made more progress on the baptism block
I’m really quite thrilled with how it’s turning out and I plan on going through and anchoring it all a bit more for an 8 year old girl! I can’t wait to finish it off in a pillow tho…I [...]
