Just Keep Sewing
from Life in the Scrapatch
These are the fabrics that are on my cutting table this morning.
They are actually fabrics that My Music Girl bought sometime ago and left here for me to make something she requested last fall that did not get done before my eye operation and then "Sewing for Baby" took priority. Since her life has taken a different turn and she has been nesting and getting ready for baby, the other project has been shelved. I want to make something for My Girl so I have decided to sew them into a small special project that is a surprise.

Sunset and Another “Fiesta Fireworks”
from Life as a Quilter -- Julia Graber
Life …
We had another pretty sunset the other day.
And then I saw the reflection in the sewing room window.
I ran the Acadia through the car wash.

I’m starting another “Fiesta Fireworks” quilt. This time it will be small, only 12” X 12.”

Follow Your Passion
from Geta's Quilting Studio
I started quilting almost 13 years ago and at the time I certainly didn’t think that someday I will turn my passion for quilting into a little business.
Any beginning is hard and mine was as well; but many people have helped me along the way, in a way or another.
8-9 years ago I had a few kaleidoscope kits for sale and Mihaela was my first Romanian customer. She bought the kit and sent me an encouragement letter that I will never forget.
Now she is my friend and just launched her first quilt pattern. I am so ...
WIP Wednesday: 3/12/14
from Live a Colorful Life
Well, hello Wednesday. It's been a long time since I've been here.
A while back I read about the Peppered Cottons challenge by Studio E Fabrics. The challenge began in September 2013, with the deadline of March 31st. I had a "lightbulb moment" about two weeks ago.
My plan involved making 288 (!) 3-inch cross stitch blocks. I have worked like a madwoman for the last week. I ordered more background fabric. I ordered the backing. I have no plan on how to quilt.
Finally, last night, I realized that with all things considered, I'm going to have ...

A star
from patchworkdelights
So I saw this beautiful star on Emma Jean's or Scrapbag's feed and I thought wow that is spectacular, and that's the BACK of the quilt.
So I thought I know I have some scrappy triangles from the Modern Irish Bee from last year I can make a scrappy star. The scrappy triangles are a crazymom idea.
So I laid a load of them out on my floor.
And I thought to myself, that is going to be gorgeous! Next question was how to join them together. Needless to say I made a pig's ear of ...

My Batiks
from Happy Cottage Quilter
The work on my batik project came to a stall last week, when the light in my sewing room started to waver. It's been difficult to see, with limited lighting, but my sweet hubby will change out the florescent bulb today. However, I did manage to start working on piecing the pretty green fabric I showed you the other day.
I know, I know it's not much, but I'm hoping to get moving on this once my lighting is restored.
If you have never worked with Batiks before, I found this interesting video on the process of ...

Fidgets
from Priscilla's Workshop
I cannot remember a time when I could sit still, or at least sit still willingly. When I was very small and living in Heidelberg,courtesy of the US Army, my parents called me zappelphilipp. Even though my siblings were also pretty active I must have stood out. I suppose that's one reason quilting is so attractive to me. It may look as though I am just sitting there but I am doing something every minute; every stitch I take changes what I am working on and there are instant results though the finished product may take a long ...

Silhouette Cameo
from Piece N Quilt
Last week Kathleen and I finally picked up one of our dream toys, a Silhouette Cameo.
I remember a few years back when the idea of the Silhouette Cameo was just coming out, thinking to myself, I wish that machine could cut more than vinyl and paper. I want to cut fabric on it. Well, now we can!
After we picked up our new Silhouette Cameo we came right back to the studio to try it out. I installed the software, which is super easy to navigate, and then I designed a simple little applique shape.

experiments with icebergs
from Pamela Price Klebaum BlaBlaBlog
My experiments with expressing "iceberg" in glass continue. I used both opaline (a milky/white/kindaclear color) and cobalt blue powdered glass to build up another uneven layer on the base piece ("before firing") and fired it to a temperature of 1350 degrees. The glossy finish on the raised section was the result...but the "carved" powdered opaline did not come to a full tack (see the cracking

wonderful wednesdays . . .
from Count it *all* JOY!
Today is a happy day . . . today marks FOUR YEARS that Sawyer Graham has been a force to reckon with in this ol' world!
He's king of the hill . . . but also holds great sway over this Neesey's heart! ♥
We celebrated our March birthdays on Saturday. Sawyer wanted a "dinosaur and snake" cake. Yup, he's all boy.
Luckily, he's got a very talented mommy who was able to create just what the birthday boy asked for!
Blowing out candles was fun . . .
Even though he *was* holding is ears because we were all singing too loud! Ha! That's ...

Today I am presenting my twist on the traditional Maple Leaf block

Kim even did a little mini interview with me and you can read it at Persimon Dreams.
