In order to achieve this great goal I needed to step down into the office for a bit to send a few emails. The… Continue reading I meant to do this, but did that instead

Stash building
I've deliberately destashed over the last few years letting go of fabrics that were once intended for tote bags. While these fabrics meant something for the tote bags they were not fabrics I'd use in quilts. It was work to be sure and worth the effort. What remains is fabrics I will use in quilts.… Continue reading Stash building
Whole Cloth Challenge
Yesterday I finished the quilting on Moon Set, the name of my nearly completed whole cloth challenge quilt. Binding or facing will be completed, probably on the plane to Chicago later this week.

Whole Cloth Update
There is nothing quite so comforting as listening to the sewing machine as I quilt. It's a beautiful sound.

So the question I get a lot is, "what comes next?"… Continue reading Whole Cloth Update

I nodded in agreement as she talked of choosing just the right color of paint for a room based on a swatch of fabric, finally settling for "close enough". Rather than stressing out over the color… Continue reading Whole Cloth Challenge update

Like in the next week… Continue reading Whole Cloth Challenge – post #3

Lisa and I are challenging each other to create whole cloth quilts (my original post)before Quilt Market. We're both using Robert Kaufman's Radiance, a cotton/silk blend.

a good day quilting
The last couple of days I've been piecing and quilting like a quilter. Crazy I know. It's been fun. I'm loving my B 780 more than ever. In part because I had a total ditzy moment today while piecing the quilt top. I put the #46 C foot on to make some piping for this… Continue reading a good day quilting
