I spent Sunday afternoon working on a setting for the Halloween blocks. There’s one big problem with pulling out a UFO which is that it’s most likely a UFO because you didn’t know where to take the project in the first place. That’s why it’s been sitting in a bag for 3 years. The one…
More Busy Bees virtual quilting bee blocks. August was for Amber of One Shabby Chick. If you’re not familiar with virtual quilting bees, they generally work as follows (at least I think this is how they work given I’ve now participated in a whopping 2 bees including this one !) There’s an organizer for the…
Little 6″ 9-patch blocks. These are so sweet, I’m looking forward to seeing this quilt after it’s set. I would never have the patience to make enough small 9-patch blocks for a full-sized quilt but I sure do enjoy making them in limited quantities. These blocks are going to Kate of One Flew Over. Pulling…

Here’s a link to the tutorial on the Cloud9 blog showing how to make it. There’s a LOT of inspiration there. The laundry will have to wait. pink chalk fabrics ~*~ new arrivals…

Fortuitously enough, as soon as I sent out the blocks from my original bee I received the first set of fabrics from…
I finished up my final three blocks for the Virtual Quilting Bee. I’m quite embarrassed at how long it took me to finally complete my end of the bargain (and a little shocked when I realized just how long it had been!) Our ever gracious hostess Mama Urchin sent a reminder e-mail several weeks ago,…
This toddler sized quilt has been in my collection of finished quilts for several years now. Patiently waiting to be gifted to the right child. I’ve pulled it out on quite a few occasions. Hmm, no. Not the right match. This time when I pulled it out it was the perfect match. So perfect I…
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…
The first time I saw a quilt by Malka Dubrawsky featured on a blog I was floored. Fresh, beautiful, unique, I was in love with this talented woman’s work. Her blog, A Stitch in Dye, has become one of my favorites. I was extremely excited when she first announced she was writing a book. Well…
