busy
I have been super productive this week, or perhaps some projects that I have slowly incrementally been working on have come to a point where they are interesting to look at. I am super glad to announce: I finished mending the utility quilt! It has been on my Get it done list for three months. …
2013 goals and dreams
I decided that even though Judy won’t be doing the ufo projects, I wanted a list of goals and dreams for 2013. So I have a three-part list, the first part is garments: 1. I plan to make four garments for myself this year one per season. 2. I also have some pieced fabric that I …
Christmas wishes
As one of my Christmas crafts, I am making these little “wish holders” . On one side we stenciled the word “wish”. I printed the word out several times on card stock in different fonts and then cut it with an exacto knife. We used these as stencil. Now offsetting the stencil slightly to create this shaded or outlined look was …
july ufo done
Yes, it is finished! I absolutely love it! I am so happy with the way the flames worked out. They are actually my favorite part. They are made of layers of sheers, some of them painted and also beads. I started this quilt on January 22, 2011, so I actually finished this one fairly quickly- only …
flames

June’s unfinished ufo
Yes, it is not finished. <Sigh> Another one for 2013. It is somewhat closer to be finished but it has a long way to go.
Inchie Quilts
Every so often I browse through the quilting section at the library and see if there are any interesting quilting books. I picked up Inchie Quilts by Nadine Ruggles with the idea of making small but personal gifts. This book demonstrates how to make small, one inch size mini quilts, then attaching them, sometimes perminantey, sometimes temporarily, …
chicken comes homes home to roost – February ufo wrapup
No, it’s not done, nor will it be in five days. But I made significant progress. I painted it, layered the batting and backing and did a great deal of quilting. Then yesterday, I added the chicken prince. Paul and I spent some time with markers, going over the black lines. I think it really …
chicken update
Here’s my prodigal chicken quilt again, sans prodigal chicken still although he is mostly sewn and just needs to be attached. I have and idea for the path that I want to finish before I put him in. I’m at a discouraging point of beginning to know what I want to do, but knowing there is much …
