THE JAR

I try to make the binding when I make the top, otherwise I'll never find the fabric again!   So, the bindings are kept in this jar.   Yes, it is full, I need to do some quilting!

July, 2013-musings

Nothing like a week of HEAT to make you stay inside and quilt.   I won a basket of lime green/white/black fabric at the guild Christmas dinner 2 years ago.   It is so pretty and striking that I wanted to do something special with it.   Hmm, after 2 years, I just wanted to do something with it.   I made 3 quilts out of that basket of fabric!   I have 2 yards of a floral that I will use as borders for however far that goes, then I'll put up the pics.   No-they will not be quilted...yet.

My DD said I need more of a challenge, spooked her I guess that I made 3 quilt tops in 1 week.  It was a HOT week.      What will I do with these?  I am thinking, get them quilted, put on ETSY.   If they don't sell there, put them into the guild's boutique next year.   We shall see after that.

OK, I am going to try something.   I am going to create a page for the quilts that need quilting!   I am always looking for backing or batting or binding or SOMETHING!    This will help me see what I need to do.   It is a work in progress, so those are the links to the right of the page, the quilts I SHOULD be quilting.    Feel free to ignore, it is a tool for me.  :)

Stay Cool, y'all

Hugs, Ann

I think this says it all about our weather today.   Cloudy and cold!

 

 

I am packing for a quilt retreat.   But I'm afraid if I start too early, I'll keep adding too much and will need to hire a bus to take me!

I have packed 4 projects to work on, am resisting the fusion projects, that means another level of 'stuff' to pack.   Have Googled for a portable design wall, nothing portable enough...sigh.   Hope Nicole supplies something!
Leaving my cold boy kitties here, poor things.   Don't they look pathetic?   It was so cute for a picture.   Retreat is 3 nights/4 days.   No, I will not finish ANY of the projects, but plan on big progress.

2013 ALREADY?

I've been quilting up a storm!  While it storms!   Cold here in sunny(NOT!) California .   We've had 22 inches of rain since Nov.1, more freezing nights than ever.   I've lost ALL my fuschias...sigh.   But!   I've done lots of stitching!   Here are what was completed in 2012:

A Boot wall-hanging for my daughter who works for a company that makes.......BOOTS!

Two for my sister (she's very special)

For my niece!  An experiment-called Paradigm Twist.
