Hour A Day Check In
Ok, so it isn't a complete quilt. But, hey. I have been diligently going down to the studio and putting in my hour a day. Maybe even more! The baby is a trial, the way she is refusing to take a nice two hour nap twice a day, but I am making it work. Thank…

Let’s Get Those Tops Quilted
When we complete a quilt top, so many of us do a little happy dance and think "Woo Hoo! Another one finished!" There is a real sense of elation at having accomplished constructing a quilt top. But wait. No, we aren't quite done yet. There is still the little matter of getting those tops quilted.…

BOM Rehab Monday & I Need To Take My Own Advice
Honestly, without Sinta's BOM Rehab program, this Designer Mystery BOM would still be languishing in its project box. I am delighted to say that I have now completed the twelth and last block! Woo hoo! Now the next step is to cut out and start constructing the lattice, which appears pretty simple. This is where…

Happy June
Happy June everyone! The weather here has really warmed up (and I may have mentioned that I live in a Summer Oven), so I am feeling that we have moved out of Spring and are well into the hot season. I love the summer mornings though. When I lived in the Monterey Bay Area, we…

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…

Kiss Along With Me?
Here is my first block made from the Fig Tree pattern "Kiss Me". Isn't it sweet? I am making my quilt from various Fig Tree corally reds. The fabric above is from Patisserie, but most of the reds I will use are from last summer's Strawberry Fields collection. I found my fabrics late in the…

My Ironing Board
Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of your ironing board? Good grief, I never had such a struggle. It is surprisingly difficult to make those things look good. You have to get way back to get the whole thing in the photo and then all sorts of other ugly things…

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…

BOM Rehab Monday
Back on track this week with the BOM Rehab, I am happy to say! I finished Block Eleven of the Peace on Earth Designer Mystery BOM over the weekend. That project is definitely coming together and all that will remain will be the lattice, which involves a star pattern and is awfully pretty. I've been…
