This is another weekly project I'm participating in. Every Sunday I post a new snail block for Angie at Gnome Angel's Snail Paced Sew Along. The pattern is from Pen and Paper Patterns. It is easy and cute, and look at that big space open for fussy cutting. So far I've managed to make a … Continue reading Slowly I Crept…
I recently participated in a swap hosted by Amista Baker, of Hilltop Custom Designs. This was the first swap I have participated in since 2000. (That was a signed block swap. I still have a pile of blocks with signatures in a bin somewhere.) Amista is incredibly organized. In the past I had seen her … Continue reading The Once Upon a Time Swap
I am sitting here beside myself. On a lark, I decided to enter two of my quilts into the upcoming Quilt and Sewing Fest of NJ. I dithered, as I do, for several weeks over which quilts to enter, or if I should enter at all. I was finally pushed over the edge by my … Continue reading Quilt and Sewing Fest of NJ
Whoops! I guess I missed a few updates. I am current on my weekly challenge, so I have 6 completed blocks thus far. I'm using Alison Glass fabrics, and the patterns are from my Quilter's Planner. They are all different techniques, and sometimes I forget to reset my seam allowance to make it a scant … Continue reading 52 Weeks with The Quilter's Planner – 6

I decided to make the February version. I used some of my "Hey Dot" layer cake. It has some nice colors for Valentines … Continue reading Muggamo for February

I also didn't know the Village People wore those costumes for anything other than their day jobs until I was in my 20's. (My husband really enjoyed my … Continue reading Grey Days
I am back from my visit to New Hampshire, and I could not be happier to be back in my studio. I love my Mom, and I am pleased I was spend time to give her a hand when she needed it, but I am a home body. I have made some more progress on … Continue reading Flamingo Road
Angie at GnomeAngel is hosting a weekly sew along this year. I'm a devotee of both Angie and the Quilter's Planner, so I'm in. Block #2 is Doves in the Daylight, by Michelle Bartholomew. I was a little put off by the number of half square triangles in this block - 32! - but … Continue reading 52 Weeks with The Quilter's Planner – 2

Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl is having a 2017 planning linky party. I have very much enjoyed following her planning and accomplishment posts this year. Since I want to be more like her when I grow up, I'm joining in. (Lol. I missed the deadline. Whoops.) While settling into my new studio, I have realized that … Continue reading 2107 – Year of the UFO
