Hi, guys! Welcome to the tail end of week 2 of the Color Catcher Quilt Along. I’m late, of course.

It's time for a project update! It's either blog or do homework, so here I am! I've been making great progress on my Andover Century Solids project. Shockingly, cutting 100 pieces of fabric up is taking a long time. It takes me about 3 minutes per half yard. (100 - 1/2 yards of fabric, at … Continue reading Designing for a Client – Part 2
I wrote this post during the last week of my Florida vacation. Rather than re-write it, here it is, three weeks later. Have you all seen the I Found a Quilted Heart page yet?

Today is the last day of the Ocean Waves Quilt Block Imagination Renovation Challenge. Not surprisingly, I did not make an entire quilt. I have big plans, but they don't involve this one being finished before next year. I am really happy with the quilt I've begun, though. I've been taking a class with Clara … Continue reading Ocean Waves Quilt Block – Week 4
