Last year was a kind of blur. It started out normal but quickly changed into the year from hell. I hated being away from my family and my sewing/quilting peeps. Both of my guilds, Eastern Long Island Quilt Guild and Long Island Modern Quilt Guild, stopped in person meetings as of March. In June, our Tuesday night North Fork Quilters group decided to meet out in the parking lot of the rec center we normally met in. We were all so happy to actually see each other. Eventually both guilds transitioned to Zoom meetings but it wasn't the ...

Some time with the brush and I was ready to get stitching again. I also changed out the needle.
I bought this sticker from Hunter Design Studio this past winter,. Treat your tools with the respect they deserve.
“The Best made plans of mice and men…” No matter how carefully 2020 was planned, something may still go wrong with it, and it did. 2020 happened. At the beginning of 2020 there was so many awesome plans, of what we were going to do in the community, in the Church and with outreach. Personally, things were looking up, work was going great for change, we were expecting a raise and a bonus. My family was doing well, everyone had a job, everyone was healthy. But things did not go according to plan. For all of us, plans changed, and ...
read moreIf you want to try your hand at this kind of crochet I recommend you check out Tinna's YouTube channel. Seriously, if you can single and double crochet you can do this with your tutorial.
This was my first try at the design. I know what I would do differently next time but this was an excellent learning experience.
Ich blogge seit 9 Jahren und somit schreibe ich seit 9 Jahren über meine Quilts und sonstigen genähten Dinge. 9 Jahre - das hat mich gerade sehr beeindruckt! In den letzten Jahren habe ich in einem Rückblick das Jahr Revue passieren lassen. Das war für mich immer interessant. Und deshalb mache ich das auch in diesem Jahr wieder.
In diesem Jahr 2020 gab es wieder einige Quilt Alongs, einige Aktionen der Modern Cologne Quilters und dann gab es Corona und damit noch mehr Zeit für Quilts...was für ein Jahr!
Wie so viele andere haben wir Quilter unsere Kontakte kurzerhand im ...
read more My last finished quilt of 2020 is called Safari Tango. It might be the first true double-sided quilt I've ever made. The front was started in an online (Zoom) workshop with Diane Harris, The Stash Bandit, hosted by Ninigret Quilters. She calls her pattern Twofer Tango because you could get two quilts from your effort. The half square triangle units are bonus blocks from the creation of the main X-blocks. I chose to add mine around the border instead of harboring yet another UFO!
I was not even sure I wanted to look at my blog posts from this year. I was certain that most of the year was me spent not quilting. I was wrong and grateful for this look back.
The background is quilted with this flower motif.
The dress is quilted with a variegated thread to make these swirls. I added some detail to the lily.The swirls make their way up the bodice.Nothing fancy for the gavel ... read more
We're having a very windy day, here in Murrieta. It made taking quilt photos a challenge, but I got it done!
May your bobbins always be full,

Happy New Year!

It's become a tradition for me to share my top five blog posts of the year. This year the trend is all about community: monthly linkups I've hosted, a challenge I participated in, and a blog hop about holiday traditions. Seems fitting that 2020 would be focused on connecting with others. Incidentally, if you haven't already linked up a project to this month's Show Me Something... hop on over and Show Me Something That's a Gift! (You've probably delivered those gifts by now, right?)

This was a quick project. Likely about five days. Granted, a couple of those days were Saturday and Sunday which always means more time to crochet.
After a while I was using it to hold my working yarns. The base is about 13" in diameter. Plenty of room!
This is a great crochet project basket. Put your yarn inside and get going!
Not that I needed to find another task, especially at this time of year. But I did!The Closet AreaI made a plan to complete the inside of the closet area. Bought all the stuff and moved all the miscellaneous boxes of stuff out of the closet space to hang the uprights. This closet is...to read more go to www.ihaveanotion.com/blog

This is the basic shape once sewn up. I hope those lines show up nicely after felting. I wanted to show the size before and after felting. These are made with Sheep's Pride and felt up nicely, even if they do need a couple trips through the wash cycle to get down to a slipper size. I'm going to make some using Knit Picks Wool of the Andes next. I ... read more
