read moreWe had the kids over on Sunday afternoon to watch the women’s final cricket match against India. I decided not to cook a complete lunch and instead served fat cakes with curried mince. I also did not set the table. I had both dishes out, plates, serviettes, and everyone had to help themselves. This happened before they arrived, and hubby was playing golf. I then had time to plan this little quilt for custom work. Sometimes one just needs a little quiet time to do one's own thing.
Although custom quilted, this project went rather quickly, as most ...

So strange for us here in SoCal. I've gotten the backing for Project H which was October's UFO. Designed by Shelly Pagliai of Prairie Moon Quilts for a special retreat. She made it into mostly 12" blocks

At 2 pm I met with Sherry from Olympia, and we chatted in the rain. She gave me 8 quilts back from them. I went in to get my blood tests, to find out I didn't need to do that till the 21st. So, I waited on Patrick, then he ...

I'm working on the remaining blocks of the Laurel Wood BOM designed by Lynn Wilder for The Quilt Show. I have 20 blocks to make but before I can make them, I had to make 80 flying geese. I feel like I set up an assembly line! First I cut the pieces, then I made the flying geese using the 4-at-a-time method. Then I cut everything apart and ironed them. The last step was to trim.
