Easter Quilt Fabric and Embellishment Selections
It’s not even Halloween yet, and I’m already thinking about Easter. That probably seems odd to most people, but as a quilter, I’ve learned to think ahead about holidays. Some projects come together really quickly, but others take much longer – so I like to start early when I can. With the completion of my…

Nothing completed this week, but I made some progress in using up my scrap Christmas fabric. I made a couple of Christmas ornaments that match my quilt, and pulled left over scraps for a second, simpler quilt for the couch.

The String Theory quilt is finally complete. I got the binding put on it last week and I actually finished the binding by hand! That’s a new one for me. But since I chose to bind the quilt with some of my left over silk and brocade, I figured it would be best not to…

Everything seems slow this week in the world of getting things done, but I did get a quilt back from the quilter last week. Designs by Laura Jo sent me back my String Theory quilt! So Saturday night I set about making a scrappy binding for the quilt from some more of my silk and…

This last week has been a good week for getting things done. I got my Betty Bowler bag finished late last week. It came out really nicely. The only thing I would change about the pattern, would be to use a heavier interfacing so that the bag would hold it’s shape a little better. I…
