Printing Playtime from Gene Black an Alabama Artist

I have been playing a LOT with the gelatin plates (One is Gelli brand, and one is Gel Press brand.)

I have also attempted to make my own plate. So far it has not been wildly successful, but I haven't given up just yet.

Here are a number of prints I have pulled. Most of these are planned to be used as collage paper. Some of them could be collaged onto a surface and have a subject painted with these as backgrounds.

This one is interesting but I am not sure how I will ever use it.

Recheck with the Doctor… from Jo's Country Junction

I left early Friday morning…The clock said 6:10 am. I left a bit earlier than I might normally need to, but I knew I needed gas. My appointment went well. He was happy I wasn’t getting a lot of side effects. My blood pressure was a little high so he added in another blood pressure …

Quilted: old pink quilt from Fabric Engineer

I finished another old quilt for the same person as the old black quilt. I had a vision for this quilt and I love how it turned out.

I used a circle template to get a...um... double arc in each square. It did take a little longer, but it was totally worth it.

I used a light pink thread to do the quilting.

I used Kona cornflower for the binding. I had been planning on using a pink because there was already so much pink in the quilt, but I didn't have *just* the right pink on hand ...

Starting Stonefields - Fabrics and Planning from Loose Threads

I’ve been thinking about starting the Stonefield's quilt by Susan Smith. The pattern was given to me by Barb Perrin many years ago. I’ve pulled it out several times, studied it, and put it back on the shelf. I even organized the pattern into a notebook. I’ve been watching Gretchen, Chris and Rebecca all working on the Stonefield's quilt. Gretchen was at the Jane Stickle retreat, and she was working on one of her blocks.

I freshened my stash with some new Tilda fabrics and a few other pieces I thought I could use in ...

Hand Quilting and a Cross Stitch Barn from The Cozy Quilter

I added a lot of blue stitches to my cross stitch project earlier in the week, and then decided it was time to use some other colours. As you can see below, I stitched most of the green border and got a good start on the barn. Once the barn is done, I will go back to adding more blue in the sky.

I hand quilted the light green block on my pineapple log cabin quilt this week. I am working on the gold block next. 3/9 blocks are quilted now. This is a slow process. I already know ...

Two Marvelous Days from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It's been an action-packed couple of days. I have so much to tell you, so let's get started right away. I'll start with the sewing. After that, I'll tell you about my walk with Matthew along the Willamette River waterfront...that was yesterday. And then, I'll tell you about our dinner Thursday night. Okay? Okay. Here we go.

In the sewing room, I managed to find enough time to finish the top-stitching on the latest two blocks for the Northern Wilderness project. Here's Block #9, the Outhouse.

And here's ...

Update On Semiquincentennial Eagle from Kitty and Me Designs

Well, after having to rip numerous times....I have his face done!

All it takes is one miscounted stitch and you're spending hours trying to find it!

Anyway, his face is done and I've started on the bunting which is going pretty quickly. Will post another update when that's done.

Don't forget, we're doing a stitch-along at Fans Of Kitty And Me Designs on Facebook. There are prizes for the 1st 2 stitchers who complete the project.

Order your pattern from Everything Cross Stitch and join us at the group!

Farmer's Wife from Night Owl Quilting

This amazing quilt was made by Kristine. The pattern is the Farmer's Wife Sampler quilt. It contains 111 different 6" blocks!

Kristine and I attend a retreat togethers a couple of times a year, so I saw her steady progress on this over 3 or 4 retreats. She started with a pretty fat quarter bundle and picked fabrics for each block one by one. With patience and determination this masterpiece was born!

I asked Kristine how she felt about custom quilting on this labor of love and she said that she trusted me to make the design choices and ...

What day is it? from Terificreations's Weblog

I’m not entirely certain at this moment. In preparation for Easter I started sourdough sweet dough for cinnamon/cardamom rolls and honey nut rolls. In my food pantry I had these jars of hazelnut, pistachio and some other kind of nut in honey that looked so tasty it was imperative that they join the sweet dough… Continue reading What day is it?

A Day To Play! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!

Somewhere around 6pm last evening.

Taco bar on the porch. Make it a wrap, or a salad - your choice. All the fixin's. Wonderful and delicious!

It had been a day of "Do what you want your own way" as the designated quilt shop hop day.

At one point there were only 2 people enjoying the quiet of retreat with all of the others out in search of the perfect fabrics for the quilts of their dreams.

RSC26 - Week #17 from My Sewing Room

I played with pink again this week, but also mixed in some other colors - but all were done using scraps. That is a win in my book.

So far only 5 new Vintage Spools blocks were added. More might be made next week, depending on my scrap "clean out" progress.

A couple more pink Buckeye Reversed blocks happened this week. That makes 6 pink blocks in this set so far. Four more blocks in other colors happened too.

I couldn't resist laying out what I have so far, to play with possible layout ideas. However, I'll need lots ...

Anzac Day and a little Stitching from Romany Quilting

Anzac morning dawned calm, clear and crisp. I took myself out for a short walk. The ranges are snow free today, but just a couple of days ago, they were covered in snow. Sadly, I didn't get a photo then.

Anzac Day (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) is celebrated on April 25th and is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand commemorating all those who served and died in war. It marks the anniversary of the 1915 Gallipoli landing, where so many soldiers from both our nations lost their lives. The red poppy, worn proudly ...

The shrinking colorwash................ from Exuberant Color

Since the squares were 1.5" cut size, they lose 1/3 of their size when sewing them together.

Now shrinking in the other direction. This little colorwash took me over two hours to sew, going slowly, matching each seam.

The corners were matching well until I got to the next to last seam. I will have to pick it off and try again.

The sewn piece is laying on the same mat that the pieces were on the last few days. It was 18" of cut squares, and after sewing and pressing I expect this to be 12.5 ...
