What’s On My Design Wall from The Snarky Quilter

As of the beginning of the week, my design wall was a bit crowded.

I have two quilting projects ongoing, plus work from my Textural Style class, as well as photos to inspire new projects. Starting from the top right, there’s my two single color studies from class.

The blue one is done except for an edge treatment. The red one has become a two color study and has lots of big stitch embroidery. I have a section I want to embroider, but it’s mostly done. I have to figure out an edge treatment, but it won’t ...

“Every Which Way” from The Snarky Quilter

I rejoiced this week when I finished binding my seemingly endless needle felted wool hand stitching project, now called “Every Which Way.” My stitching in Florida (I made myself sew down 2 squares a day) brought it to the point I could fuse it to felt and quilt it.

Since the wool backing never got felt-like despite several go rounds in the washer and dryer, I used the polyester felt to stabilize the piece. The machine quilting is minimal, just enough to further secure the two layers. That’s right, two layers, so this ...

new year, new post . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

Are You there God? It's me, Margaret.

I pulled this Judy Blume book off the shelves at the library in Oak Hill Elementary, my third grade year. I remember reading it over and over, during the course of my two-week check out. The contents, which were so gripping to me fifty-plus years ago, have long been forgotten, but the title grabs me in different circumstances ALL the time, to this day.

Are you there fellow bloggers? It's me, Denise. :)

My niece, Megan, who is owner and founder of Two Tales Editing, sent out a clever gif on her ...

Do you know what happens when you make up your mind to back-post before you current post again?

Nothing. LOL!

And the longer I put it off, the more daunting the task became. So, here's what happened this past weekend:

I switched out my patriotic decor that went up in time for Memorial Day (and stays up through Bastille Day—July 14) . . .

For summery, sun-shiney sunflowers!

I love changing out my accent pieces for the seasons. More and more, it's become mostly pieces I've made or been gifted. I love that!! Once I got everything out, I ...

Meditative, Schmediative from The Snarky Quilter

For some years crafters and quilters have extolled the virtues of slow hand stitching. They say it’s a soothing meditative process that will relax you, make you appreciate the process, and be mentally restorative. The implication is it will make … Continue reading →
