I spent a lot of time knitting this weekend, only a fraction of it fruitfully. That is to say, as I was starting, I couldn’t figure out the pattern and ripped several hundred stitches out when all was said and done. And just this morning, I finished the quilt top I started at the [...] I’m totally knitting, guys! I didn’t plan for it to happen, yet here I am. It started with this quilting/scrapbooking retreat I went to over a week ago. It was so much fun! There were a couple of totally hip moms there who knitted in addition to making quilts. They had some pretty gorgeous knitted [...] In an effort to link to my completed quilt projects on the left sidebar of this Arts & Crafts section, I discovered that I had forgotten to share yet another quilt that was completed during the Great Blog Drought of 2010. So here she is: I love the way this quilt turned out; it [...] She’s the only thing I have left of my art show. Amazingly everything sold but her. I now cherish her. There is a funny story here. At my debut, I was overwhelmed that I sold so many paintings. Never in a million years did I think I would. My brother-in-law Josh quickly took [...] I posted this quilt on Facebook a while ago, but that was during my extended break from blogging and I just realized that I never shared it on here. What prompted my memory? The girls I made this quilt for are in Africa right now! Two teenage girls from our church decided to raise [...] I made this little quilt recently for friends of ours who are having their first child in August. I’ve made a lot of quilts lately entirely (or almost entirely) out of 2 1/2” squares of fabric. I have a lot of fabrics and the smaller the squares, the more I can use [...] My sister Emily designs a new card for each of my kids’ birthdays. Jett turned 4 over the weekend and Emily sent this card to us: This is just too perfect! For a little back story on Jett and his love for Guess Who, click here. Thanks, Em, these are just so special to [...] I just love surprises! I love it when couples choose to be surprised by the gender of their baby on the day of birth. We did it both ways – we didn’t find out what we were having the first time around with Jude. With our other two sons, we did find out at [...] I have a lot of experience stripping. Not on a pole, mind you, stripping as in strip piecing… as in making quilts? Hello? Anyone there?! Saying stripping instead of strip piecing is, like, the oldest quilters joke. Classic. Neat. Strip piecing basically is cutting full-length strips of fabric, selvage-to-selvage, and then sewing the long strips [...] My sister has been so good about creating a special birthday card for my boys on every birthday. I had to interrupt Jude as he was playing with LEGOs to show him this card yesterday. He thought it was pretty sweet, of course. Here are Jude’s Emily-made cards from the last few years: [...] |
