Seriously I just wanted to post this picture again it just makes me happy. I realized too there is a color missing here. I have 3 yards of sky (baby) blue too. I don't know how I missed that. The other day when I posted this I was choosing between the copper and the purple,… Continue reading Whole cloth challenge and choosing fabric

Anyone joining in on the fun can use their favorite fabric. If you need, or perhaps just want some Radiance for the challenge Olde City Quilts has a great… Continue reading Whole Cloth Challenge

One more reason to love! the BERNINA 780
I've not been shy about telling you all how much I love the B 780. So I'm stitching the other day using the 46C foot (adding that cording to the quilt I posted here) and needed to move the needle over to the right. Usually you hear the needle moving over.

I placed… Continue reading Chocolate Swirl part 2

It's been on the inspiration wall for quite a while and this chocolate-brown Radiance in my fabric stash about that long.… Continue reading Chocolate Swirl

Couple of projects done and checked off my list

Regena sent me this the other day and I thought I'd share her blog as she sent it to me. Every quilter struggles with feathers at first. After a while stitching feathers becomes intuitive. Natural. We develop our own feather shapes as we develop our own style as quilters. You may remember the Quilting Arts… Continue reading Feather tutorial practice session: the distracted domestic
