I managed to sandwich my two other fundraising quilts for the golf course. In between getting that done and waiting for my basting spray to dry, I was working with some of the almost 300 hst’s I made yesterday for the secret sewing I am doing. Can you see all of the bonus hst’s IContinueContinue reading “Secret Sewing and Sandwiches”

May OMG Finish
So here it is: the first of my three quilts for the golf course fundraiser. It was too much fun to just walk out my front door and take a picture of the quilt on one of the Course picnic tables. I had no way to hang the quilt so I thought this would workContinueContinue reading “May OMG Finish”
May OMG
I can hardly believe that it is May already! I’m also wondering how everyone else did with their OMG. I had planned on getting all 3 quilts done for the fundraiser for the golf course. I did not get even one finished! This is the first of the three and is a completed flimsy. IContinueContinue reading “May OMG”

Q1FAL
It’s always a fun time to record finishes. First up I have Charlotte’s sweater knitted, buttons sewed on and the parcel has been mailed!

February Block Count, UFO’s and Finishes
It was not a great month for sewing with so many doctor’s appointments and tests for DH and myself both. I was also trying to unpack, sort and set up our cute little apartment.

Proofreading and Testing
I have discovered over the past couple of years that I love to pattern test or proofread patterns for other designers. It not only gives me a deadline to do a project, but can help me stretch my skills or learn new ways to do different techniques. As a quilter I love piecing and paperContinueContinue reading “Proofreading and Testing”

Update!
We got home Tuesday night after a fairly stress free trip. I managed to stay ahead of the snowstorm that was forecast. It was good driving with only one bad stretch with slush and snow through the pass on the Paulson. I think we were both in bed by 8:30! The next morning we hadContinueContinue reading “Update!”
More Project Bags Done!
I managed to finish 2 more vinyl windowed pouches on Friday before I had to pack for our Vancouver trip. I started with 3 – 14.5” x 22” pieces of muslin to make my outside blocks. I did two with strings and one in a wonky block format. It was fun to just be impetuousContinueContinue reading “More Project Bags Done!”
The Next Adventure Begins
Well, we made it to Vancouver today after leaving home yesterday. The trip over the Blueberry Paulson was rough with a lot of snow and very slushy roads.
