I love using Picnik for my photo editing. Yes, this photo isn’t great, but it was a LOT worse when I started! It’s one I didn’t include in my heavy photo post of the weekend about cutting fabrics. I have been wondering about what I will use when Picnik is gone. I don’t like change…
I am finally getting back to/starting to work on this quilt. I used my quilting time each day this week, setting the oven timer for 30 minutes, cutting the black fabrics I set aside for this quilt. The first day I ironed all my black fabrics. It made cutting fabrics the rest of the week…
My February dreamboard was created shortly after the full moon. During the full moon I did receive insights into this month’s prompt provided by Jamie Ridler: “What desires lie deep within?” The pocket watch picture didn’t come out great in my main photo so I am including closeups of the top and bottom of my…
This is a UFO from last February. The block is named ‘tent flaps’ and was designed by Pat Sloan. I pulled the blocks out this past week and decided I wanted at least the top made before my birthday at the end of this month.Here’s a photo of the blocks arranged how I am putting…
A couple weekends ago I decided to play with some of my most recent selvages and make this heart pillow. Fortunately for me {not so much for my husband’s wardrobe!} one of my husband’s new shirts shrunk. It’s 100% cotton and feels soft, maybe it’s brushed cotton? My husband’s second comment on discovering the shrunken…
Janet is the winner of my wool rotary cutter ornament. Congratulations, Janet! The football season is over and I’m happy to report that I finished binding this quilt during the first half of the Superbowl. I met my goal and this 12 year old UFO is finished!! Sorry for my absence here. I am currently…
Here’s the promised photo for you of the giveaway prize. ONE of these wool rotary cutter ornaments – the other one is for me! You still have time to comment on yesterday’s post to enter. So far it looks like quilters have a ‘thing’ for specialty rulers. Not surprising I guess as how you cut…
I’ve been getting lots of visitors lately checking out my Liberated Churn Dash tutorial. Welcome! I want to publicly thank Kathy Mack of Pink Chalk Fabrics who linked to my tutorial on her Facebook Wall. {and in her newsletter! – sign up at her blog} Do you use Facebook? I’ve put up a little poll…
Santa may have had a little help in picking out this toy box for my studio. It fits perfectly under my cutting table. Right now I have my finished quilts in it. And it is firm enough to use the top as a ‘holding zone’ for my current projects. I’ve also used a little bit…
My January Dreamboard. I’m linking up at Jamie Ridler’s studio to share my January dreams.This month’s full moon prompt is “What do you hunger for?” White Space is what I first thought when I saw this board completed. Then my second thought was SNOW! It has been a very different winter for us in Northern…
