Still a Little Crazy (Quilting)
I’m happy to say that in the last week, I’ve been rather prolific in creating quilt blocks, at least for me. I’ve completed 3 more 12-inch crazy quilt blocks, and have am partially finished with another. The best part about this project, besides all of the fun shapes and colors, has been using up some…
Read MoreGoing Crazy (Quilt)
I’m going crazy! Or at least I’m attempting it. I’m super excited about having completed my very first crazy quilt block. I’m still going to want to pick up some embroidery floss and do some detail stitching… unless of course any of my wonderful friends have any extra they would like to get rid of. …
Read MoreDear Jane
Dear Jane, I made 4 more blocks from your quilt this week. I did them for a finished size of 6-inches, so that I could make use of some strips I cut for a previous project and ended up not using. And, since I was using strips, I decided that I had better pick out…

Dear Jane, I fell in love with your quilt the first time I saw it… of course, I would never make one. I haven’t the patience to make 225 of those 4.5 inch squares. But I do love your quilt. Of course, I’ve always loved “scrappy” quilts made with remnants of past projects. That’s probably…
Read MoreQuilt Progress
I’ve started working on my quilt again. Yes, it’s been a while, but thanks to the wonderful ladies down at SewTech in Evansville, I now have the correct kind of bobbin for my machine and can adjust my own bobbin tension. Apparently it’s not forbidden to do that after all. But, back to my quilt.…
Read MoreThat Quilt Project
So, it has occurred to me that I haven’t bothered to tell you all how my quilt project is going, in quite a while. Basically, as soon as I got my sewing machine back, I started having problems with it again. This is a big problem! Partly, because I’d like to get the pieces for…
Read MoreOne Circle Down…
…and 9 more to go. I’ve finished the 42-inch black and white striped circle. This section is done with alternating polka dot patterns. I started by sewing all of my strips together and then pressing them down. When that was done, I had a rather large sheet of fabric that looked like prison stripes. Then…
Read MoreHaubstadt Quilt Show
Today, I went to my first ever official quilt show, with my mom-in-law, Mary Kay. It was actually pretty fun, although it was a bit strange for me to go to an event where everyone else was at least old enough to be my mother. That either means that I need to find a different…
Read MoreMy Sewing Machine is Fixed
Yea! I got a call from DavCo yesterday afternoon, and my sewing machine is fixed and ready to be picked up. I’m pretty excited. They are open until 5:30 this evening, so I may try to go down after work and pick it up; but if not, I’ll be going down to get it early…
