It's hard not to sometimes, post on facebook that is but I know not everyone who reads my blog follows me on facebook. I'm okay with that so for those of you who follow me on facebook, some of this will be a bit of a repeat. As an opening aside Keith sent the next… Continue reading Mini-me Round 2!

Inspired to Piece
Piecing. It's not been very much of my quilterly life over the last few years as I've focused in on machine quilting and have in essence become a whole cloth quilter because I love to play.

Rainy Days and Mondays Mini me
Wee tiny, little log cabin how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. . . 3/4" at a time. 3/4 of an inch? Yep, you read that correctly. The "logs" for this cabin are 3/4".

I think I just named the quilt
Rainy Days and Mondays Ah yes, that's the name of the quilt. Rainy Days and Mondays. I love working on a quilt where I do not know the end result. It's very freeing.

Buying Fabric
Waaaaaaaaaay back when I first started quilting purchasing fabric was perhaps the most daunting part of the quilting process. Mostly because I lacked the experience necessary to put color & texture together in the pattern in a way that was pleasing to me or what I thought the intended quilt receiver would like. While I'd… Continue reading Buying Fabric

Maine Quilts part 1
Visiting vendors at a quilt show is delightful. The different fabrics and tools they have available are different than those lqs's near home. It's also an opportunity to support other local quilt shops or businesses. Hand dyed fabric attracts my attention. When I saw the Rainbow Dyes booth I knew something would go into the… Continue reading Maine Quilts part 1
