Good Saturday morning friends. This is a morning of several tales of how we, as creatives, can over think things, make some mistakes, and that we can recover. So, this morning as I sipped coffee, and realized it's Saturday. Saturday, you know the day I'm committed to posting the Quilted Block of the Month. I… Continue reading Quilted Block of the Month – Brain Overload it’s a Think

September Quilted Block of the Month
It's Still Saturday! Ha! At least for a little while yet. So I've been thinking about this kaleidoscope quilt, how to quilt it and what colors to use.

I like to move it move it
BethAnn arrived home Saturday afternoon, she's a BERNINA 560 E. Yes dear friends E, for embroidery. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYRRQZ1h_rb/?taken-by=terilucas Perhaps a name correction: BethAnne! Get it, with an E. Please feel free to roll your eyes and groan, that's what I'm doing. Over the weekend I've done a bit of quilting, a bit of piecing, and this… Continue reading I like to move it move it

Thursdays are fascinating, vibrant, full of life, looking forward to the weekend, still full of work yet, almost to the weekend.

July Quilted Block of the month part 2
Last week we focused on the "bones" also known as stitching in the ditch. When you're working on a quilt it's not a "have to do" rather, it's a good thing to do. When working on something like @play the bones get stitched as these would be the ditch in a pieced quilt top. Finer… Continue reading July Quilted Block of the month part 2

Here’s to new beginnings
For a long time Linda Poole posted a Color Fix at the end of each blog post. I've blogged about how much they've inspired me. I find stitching like this just fun. It's a good way to figure out what a thread does, and approximate tension settings for said thread. Then there's batting, I can explore… Continue reading Here’s to new beginnings

Of coffee and character- stuff happens
I like coffee. A lot. I'm not a morning person, which will probably not come as a shock to my Sweetie, but may come as a bit of a shock to students or roommates. I can be irritatingly perky, sometimes even before coffee. Coffee helps me deal with things like this: Yeah, sometimes this… Continue reading Of coffee and character- stuff happens

A wee bit of a finish
On a sew day with friends I cut out the pieces for a new quilted purse, and started stitching them together. The idea floated around my head for a while as the quilting of the fat quarters progressed.

Comparatively Speaking or If you only knew
I read "Compared to. . ." by Seth Godin and said, "there's a quilt related blog if I've ever read one." More than likely there were different words and it's barely 6 AM here, and I'm just taking my very first sips of my morning Joe I seek your indulgence for a few moments. Comparison… Continue reading Comparatively Speaking or If you only knew
