I’m all retreated out! I had a great time at my first-ever (but not last) quilting retreat last weekend. Lots of sewing and even more eating. I started the quilt I designed (posted last week) on Friday morning. By the time the retreat ended Saturday afternoon, I had all the blocks completed and the [...] You guys are the best. Thanks for all the nice comments and encouragement you’ve given me via comments here on the blog and email. Yesterday was actually a pretty great day. We kept busy, I got stuff done around the house, and didn’t turn the tv on once. The dark clouds parted and I ended [...] I listened to Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde album yesterday; the last track of the album is today’s post title. I’m sorry to say, it kind of sums up how I felt yesterday. No reason to feel that way, I suppose… thank goodness it doesn’t happen very often or for long periods of time – [...]

I’m in the process of hand binding it now, and that could take a while, too – I’ve [...] One tricky thing about choosing fabrics and using them in a quilt is working with value. Not color, mind you, but the saturation of color making value light, medium, dark, and every range in between. The quilt in the following pictures is the one I made for my nephew Jackson, he was born in February [...] I love my design wall. My dad built mine, and although I can’t tell you exactly step by step how he made it, I can tell you the materials we used and the basics of the construction. I began by searching online for automotive headliner – thanks to watching an episode of Quilt [...] Quilters love using continuous curve quilting as an easy, effective, and aesthetically pleasing way to quilt within patchwork shapes without having to mark lines. It’s similar to how hand quilters would use outline quilting to quilt 1/4" inside a patchwork shape. For machine quilting that would mean a lot of starts and stops and we [...] This is my first! With everyone else bringing sweets, treats and drinks, I’ve decided to bring fat quarters for all (it’s a quilter thing)! Phew, that was easy party prep! What am I talking about you ask? Check out Suzanne’s blog. For all of you with ties to my hometown, Suzanne is the granddaughter of [...] |
