My quilt guild sponsors a program called Kitsap Cuddles. Members donate baby quilts that are given to at risk babies and toddlers at our local hospital. Last year 172 quilts were created. This cute little blankie (38″ x 38″, 12″ blocks, 1″ sashing) goes into the program tonight. I fell in love with all these…
Ashley gave me the bug to start my very own Chevron Scarf. Hers is absolutely gorgeous. There’s a Flickr group too. My final push came yesterday when I met Daphne for a little shopping at Churchmouse after she biked 33 miles in Chilly Hilly! She gave me the low down on Socks That Rock and…
A pieced top because all I want to do after attending a quilt show is make quilts. Prep for teaching a class at Esther’s on the Colored Pencil Roll. Working out instructions for a 12 pencil model. New mini-pincushions for the winners to replace the ones I sold at the show. A suburban mom’s way…

Man, that was a lot of work! I hadn’t really thought through the whole giveaway thing before doing it. Like how to put 99 names in a hat. I ended up cutting and pasting all the comments into Word, printed them out, cut them apart with a paper cutter, folded them in half, put them…
My take on the little pouf ball pincushion. Quick and easy. Created after making 10 of these. Now for the fun part. Giveaway time. Leave a comment and tell me which one you like best and why (click on the pic for a bigger view). I’ll leave the drawing open until 12:00 noon PST Thursday….
Shiva paint sticks are an oil based paint in stick form. After applying the paint to fabric it should be left to dry for 3 to 5 days. After that the image can be heat set and the paint is permanent. I first learned about these guys in a class taught by Colleen Wise. Colleen…
My Out of the Box group met last night to trade valentines. Someone forgot to take her camera which means you won’t be seeing some of the most fabulous, creative valentines I’ve ever SEEN. Sorry guys. Mine was loved by the recipient (random drawing). Lots of laughs and giggles over all the creations. The second…
This was #2 in the series of pieced hearts I did on the way to creating Pieced Heart #4 for the Lovely Hearts show. My Out of the Box group meets this evening and we’re trading valentines. Why did I toss this by the side of the sewing table on the way to creating #4?…
Do you know how long I’ve been looking for this stuff? Finally! Update: Stephanie just sent me this Nordic Needle link. The white seems intriguing.
