First things first: happiest of happy birthday wishes to my husband today (this is his 40th birthday)!! I realized that I had better sit down and write down my goals for 2019 before I missed linking up with my own hosted #2019PlanningParty! Before I jump into sharing my goals for 2019, I want to look back on my 2018 goals...

Gaining Momentum and Curve Templates

I am continuing to build momentum to prepare myself to make the fox wholecloth quilt for my husband and me. I really want to make the quilt this month and have it done before the new year. Beyond getting comfortable with my thread choices, I needed to decide how I was going to outline the foxes. My husband and...

Sue O'very (Sue O'very Designs) is the designer for the November Aurifil block, The Fort. As I am down to wanting to use only orange or purple with my blocks for the year, I spent a lot of time wavering back and forth on my fabric selection. In the end I decided to go with purple because Sue has been...

Sometimes, the right person steps into your life at the right time. Serendipity in moments like those has been something I have been savoring over the past few weeks. A local woman, a friend of a friend, approached me about quilting a vintage quilt for her. We bartered for payment, and in return I am getting a meditation session...

Baby Quilt Fabrics

I have a new idea that I have been wanting to test out and explore. It's part of a series of ideas I have that I call "Combinatorics". The easiest way to explain what I mean by combinatorics is making half-square triangles (HSTs) using the two at a time method: you start with 2 base blocks (plain squares) and...

Local Fair 2018

I love submitting my quilts to my local fair. This year, dropoff for the quilts was this past Sunday, which just happened to be the day my husband and I finished driving home from being out of town for Babsie's funeral and taking a much needed break and visit with family. Unfortunately, I just could not be in two...

On Wednesday, Alycia shared that her Quilts of Valor group is collecting flag blocks to honor Sue, a QOV member who recently passed away. The tribute that Alycia wrote about Sue is moving, and I wanted to get up and start sewing before I finished reading the post. While I had a few other things I needed to accomplish first,...

A few weeks ago a local friend dropped off a quilt for me to quilt. She used my Wayward Transparency pattern, and together we selected coordinating Aurifil thread colors for the different fabrics in the quilt top: 2360 (Chocolate), 2330 (Light Chestnut), and 2311 (Muslin). Which left me to ponder just how I was going to quilt it! Tish from...

In May I ordered and received backing fabric, and this week I had time to finish it. Earlier this year, my oldest niece told...

Snowballs {Murrina | Stash Statement}

My progress on the Murrina quilt continues to be rather slow, but hopefully I can pick up the pace this week a bit and at least get the quilt top and backing ready to quilt. Wish me luck! I have transformed all the improv blocks I shared in my last progress post into the snowball blocks that the pattern calls for. I...
