I came up with this idea for a way to keep track of what I’m working on. I was inspired by Jamie Ridler’s board here Getting Things Done Creatively. I’m also inspired by Pat Sloan revving up her UFO Busting Tips and Techniques again. Soooo this is what I did: I used a quilt page…

This is the January block for the Aurifil BOM this year. It’s called Jumpin’ Jack Flash and was designed by Erin Russek. You can visit the Aurifil website to find her instructions for this block. Pat Sloan is the hostess for the Block of the Month with Aurifil. I was beyond thrilled when I…

My morning off was spent catching up on my quilt. The pattern is Halloween 1904 by Blackbird Designs. I almost regret my randomness now when piecing the inner tan squares together. I have been trying to mimic the essence of the pattern quilt in how I put together the black and tan half square…

Last weekend I managed to get the half square triangle units on this block. In the photo of this quilt, block 12 is made with a darker print for the large inner triangles. I had this burgundy print and thought it was a fun option to mimic the quilt. This block still needs the border…

Ruffles! Can you believe it? I was on a mission to find and make – in a weekend – an apron to use while quilting. My new favourite attire while quilting is a pair of comfy, black yoga pants. Threads love my yoga pants too! Bari J to the rescue! Problem solved, apron created,…

My niece will receive this funky pillowcase later this week. Today is her birthday. . . belated, but done! I had a mini marathon quilting session this weekend. Trying not to start new things I can’t finish. Easier said than done! And on a completely different note, but in the picture – our little African…

I’ve added the border to this block, which is actually Block 13 (not 11 as in previous post). The pattern makes it easy to add the border so that I can quilt as I go. This will be one panel. It measures 25″ x 25″. This is Block 11 – the white pumpkin! I’m so…

is COMPLETE My Happiness Key is finally COMPLETE! I did the final binding on New Year’s Day, but it’s my last finish of 2012. I’m really pleased with the finished quilting. I put 12 large pies in the outer border with variegated thread. Then I put 13 pies, a baker’s dozen, in the body of…

It’s almost here! 2013. Hard to believe it’s been a whole year since I started focusing on the word PLAY. I think I was pretty successful, but it’s a hard thing to measure. Do you pick a word to focus on for the year? Can you guess mine for 2013? Before 2013 arrives it’s time…
