Love, love, love this quilt design. When we received Denyse Schmidt’s latest patterns, Cog + Wheel jumped out of the box and onto my design table. I had already fallen in love with Hope Valley, the patterns showcasing the prints were icing on the cake. Yes, I made it EXACTLY like the picture on the…
Not if you sent an e-mail to kathy (at) pinkchalkstudio (dot) com in the last week or kathy (at) pinkchalkfabrics (dot) com in the past month. This is probably my biggest self-inflicted technical mess to date. Please contact me if you have not received a response to an e-mail. I switched over several of my…
Susan made this fabulous Mail Sack for her son’s school auction. I LOVE how she used the August Fields Fresh Start Forest on the bottom of the bag. Perfect scale. (Joel Dewberry Tossed Flowers Celery on the Yoke and Straps, Amy Butler Love Collection Sun Spots Mint for the lining). I think about fabric combinations…
Whew! The blog is working again and the upgrade was relatively painless. Like jumping off the high dive for the first time. Just a little bit of water up my nose. I was on WordPress 2.6 and upgraded to 2.9.2. The big incentive was my obsession with getting threaded comments functionality. It’s just so practical…

Churchmouse Yarns & Teas is my local yarn shop and purveyor of endless knitting inspiration. They also carry the best black tea I’ve ever drank. I’m pretty much a grocery store tea shopper but have become so addicted to the Steven Smith Teamaker they stock I now make special runs to Churchmouse to buy it….
Judith left a comment telling me about a blanket drive being coordinated by Project Linus for Haiti (she also has her own challenge going on so visit her blog for more info). That tip led me to trading e-mails with Julie, the Project Coordinator for the Project Linus York County Maine Chapter. Here’s the information…
Greg’s Christmas gift finally has a back! He picked out Squares Black from the Mingle collection by Monaluna, gorgeous choice and very manly. The design is City Park by Cherry House Quilts. I absolutely LOVE this pattern. The layout is very clever. There are 6 unique blocks that keep the piecing fun. They go together…
