Cotton and Metal
Over the last few weeks, the weather has been pretty nice most of the time, so I’ve not spent a lot of time inside the house crafting. If it was a sunny 82 degrees at your house, you wouldn’t either. But don’t worry, I have been working on a couple of projects. I’ve done a…

Why designer fabrics? Everyone loved designer fabrics. OK, probably not everyone, but I do. Let’s talk about why. The PROs Great Designs – once you find a designer you like, you’re pretty much set for life High Quality Materials – I’ve never purchased designer fabric that I didn’t love.

As many of you know from my recent posts, I am working on a Crazy Quilt and a Dear Jane quilt to help use up some of the fabric scraps in my stash. But just because I’m using up some of my fabric doesn’t mean that I don’t have a lot more to use. I’m…

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 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…
Read MoreDear Jane
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.…
