bee block roundup 6 Oct 2011 | 12:12 am
It's been so long, I think I've forgotten how to blog! Yes, I made it back from New York, and the trip was a lot of fun. The 'Quilters Take Manhattan' event was interesting, and it was a hoot to watc...
Rainbow quilt - done! 4 Aug 2011 | 11:51 am
Hot out of the dryer - the rainbow quilt in all its colorful glory! Hey, the back is even centered pretty decently! :-) I decided to go safe with the quilting - stippling with grey thread to match t...
top done and basted 30 Jul 2011 | 03:08 pm
Thanks everyone for the feedback on the layout... I went with the last option (mostly because I really want a mini quilt to keep for myself!), and here it is just before I basted it. I love it! I had...

just a few more blocks 22 Mar 2011 | 09:21 am
Here are my two blocks for this month in the do. Good Stitches bee. I didn't love the construction, because we had to use paper templates (which seems like it could be error-prone). But I think the qu...

No interesting sewing has been going on around here these last couple of weeks. I've been sweatshopping up a storm, though. My MIL asked for a few more reusable grocery bags (see my tutorial here), so...
