Squared Up

Thanks to support from several commenters (and a little challenge from Lisa!), I’m working on the Christmas Cactus quilt. I made a lot of progress today – all of the squares are cut out, and strips are cut for the half square triangles.

That’s 748 two inch squares, by the way. Now for the 152 half [...]

Gawd, I hate having my picture taken

…aka, Family Quilting Day July 2009
Last weekend was our monthly quilting session and there is so much to show! A few months ago, I suggested a fabric challenge, like the Hoffman Challenge. I pulled several fabrics from my stash and we chose one as the challenge fabric. We could make anything we wanted as long [...]

100th Post Giveaway!

When I started blogging, I wasn’t sure I’d keep going, but I’m happy to say that it’s been about a year (July 23, 2008) and I’ve made it to 100 posts! I’ve disappeared for weeks at a time, but I’ve always come back. Thank you for those who stick with me – in particular, Tricia, [...]

It’s time…International Stash-Busting Giveaway

Okay, so I’m a little early but I’d rather be early than late. Trust me, I’m usually late. Here’s my contribution to the International Stash-Busting Giveaway: Six fat quarters (well, the green and yellow is just a little smaller than a fat quarter) of quilt shop quality fabric, thinned from my far too extensive stash.

EQ6 rocks – and so does Moda!

I’ve been using EQ6 since it was EQ5. It’s been a couple of years since I first received it for Christmas, and I’m as hooked as ever. In fact, I tend to get caught up in designing and forget to get around to sewing. One thing that has always frustrated me is the difficulty finding [...]
