July Schnibble
July Schnibble. Check. I made a small version of Dimestore for my Schnibble of the month. I used the same fabric collection Carrie used in her pattern version: Urban Cowgirl by Urban Chiks for Moda. Love this fabric group, and I started out intending to make a full size quilt. After a few cutting errors…

It’s Official…
I am certifiably insane. I have decided to hand quilt my Leap Year Schnibble. So. The hand quilting thing. I decided to do it for a couple of reasons. First, that wide expanse of lattice and border just calls out for something more than Stitch In The Vicinity of the Ditch. Second, do you ever…

“I’m Leaping”
That is what my dad always says when we call him to dinner. "I'm leaping". As in "to my feet". So, that is what I'm calling my little quilt. Instead of 16 block squares, I made mine with 49 squares in each block. Just liked the added element of complexity I guess. They make a…

I’m Weak
Oh dear. I know I said I wasn't going to start anything new. I know I said I have way too many UFOs and need to just focus on one of them and finish something. Here it is, June 28, as I write this. The Another Year of Schnibbles deadline is the 30th. I have…

A Lot Of Nothing Going On
Nothing major going on around here. Or maybe I am wrong and a lot of something is actually happening. I was Good Cop in my talk with Grandpa. Everyone else has been reading the poor man the riot act after his falls last week. I emphasized how he was incredibly lucky that he had not…

Finished Doc!
Gosh, this was close. I nearly didn't finish this Schnibble by the deadline! I have so much going on right now, my head is swimming. I got this done minutes ago, literally holding the baby on my lap. My borders may be a little bit flabby, but I think I can live with it. Can't…

Is There a Doc in the House?
I worked on my Doc Schnibbles this weekend as well, and can't wait to finish it up and get it on my table. You may notice that I have made a smaller version than the pattern, using only four squares. What I found out after getting the four blocks and lattices together is that the…

Sidetracked
I have been seriously sidetracked this week. Well, maybe scattered is a better word. Being "sidetracked" implies that one has a primary project one is working on, to be sidetracked from. Since I have four or five dozen projects in various stages of incompletion, I can't technically be sidetracked, can I? It's just one big…

Glorious Weekend
What a glorious weekend we had here in my little neck of the woods. Perfect weather in all ways. A little work, a little play, some family time, some sewing, and some good food. I got the binding on my T is for Thelma Schnibble and you can see it all pretty on my kitchen…

T is for Terrific
I finished my little Schnibbles project for this month. It still remains to be quilted, and I hope to accomplish that in the next week or so. This was a super easy and fun project to do. Around 10:00 AM I started cutting out the pieces, and by 4:30 was gazing fondly at the top…
