BOM #11

That’s the outcome. I can’t believe how much faster I am now that I’ve completed 11 blocks. Block one took me the whole weekend..and that was working pretty consistently on both Saturday and Sunday. This block only took a few hours.
I also can’t believe we’ve only one more block. I’m sad. I’ll miss the anticipation, [...]

Yippee!

Look at this…

It’s a whole roll of quilt batting. A whole roll!! A sweet lady that works with my hubby actually had this just laying around in her basement. Can you believe it? Not giving it a second thought? And guess what else?? She’s not even a quilter. What? Quilt batting in the home of [...]

Thinking It Through

My Craft Hope quilt is finally finished. I hope to get her in the mail tomorrow. A lot of thought when into this quilt. I knew I was on a time line so I wanted it to be as easy as possible but it didn’t seem as though that was what was going to happen.  [...]

How I Succeeded In Reverse Applique

I had a little time this weekend to work on my Craft Hope quilt. I’ve never done reverse applique before so I’ve been enjoying the process…planning it out in my head..pinning it down and visualizing how it will hold together once it’s sewn. So far so good. It’s really quite easy. If you’ve never attempted [...]

A Slight Detour

If you haven’t stopped by to see what Craft Hope has going on you need to. This time they’re collecting quilts for the homeless. Jade said she was hoping for 200+ volunteers.. when I stopped in she had 199.. I saw it as a sign from above and immediately signed up. It makes me happy [...]

BOM #10

I love this little block with its cute little kitty and chubby ole witch. So much creativity went into designing these blocks. I’m so grateful to Anne at Bunny Hill for sharing them with all of us. It’s hard to believe that there are only two left.
This year has flown by. I’m not a big [...]

Cool Fabric Site, Spending $$, & Other Happenings

The days are kinda slow around here but I’ve been thinking a lot about this totally cool fabric site. On occasion I’ll click on it just to mesmerized by the pretty colors. I could do some major credit card damage. MAJOR!
I’ve also been thinking about how cool it would be to take this trip. I [...]

BOM #9, Is It?

Wow, it took me 8 blocks before I realized “prepare fabric” really means: starch the dickens out of it… not after you cut but before.. I thought I was really coming along back on block #6..

See how nicely she turned out? But then block #7, with all those points, wasn’t as nice.

#8 was even worse.

So [...]

A Little Chocolate Syrup

Another block for my Ice Cream quilt. Slower but surely she’s coming together.

I Need To Practice

What I learned from Bunny Hill’s block 8 is that if I don’t constantly work on my applique I tend to forget what I’ve already learn. Sigh.
