My preparation for the QA TV episode involved creating a series of ’step outs’ that would demonstrate the construction of the tote bag without sewing every step on camera.
This ended up being a little trickier than I originally thought. First, it takes a LOT of fabric to create a tote bag in every phase of [...]

Quilting Arts TV – Preparation
Quilting Arts TV
This is me on the set of Quilting Arts TV. Friday, March 5, 2010, Cleveland, Ohio. As you know, I don’t really like to talk about these types of things until everything is over. I’m so excited it’s in the can and I can spill the beans!
OK, this is the only picture taken with my [...]
Cog + Wheel Quilt by Denyse Schmidt
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 cover [...]
Knock, Knock, Is ANYone Home?
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 e-mail addresses [...]
Auction Season Mail Sack
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 for the [...]
Breaking the Store
I’m way overdue on updating my blog theme. I’ve wanted threaded comments FOREVER and this afternoon I decided I just had to have them, like right now. I’m extremely impatient about doing it correctly so instead I’m doing it live. The Wordpress upgrade seems to have broken a few things separate from the new theme. [...]
Meditation
I’ve been working, working, working. Too much to be truthfully honest. I’m determined to successfully balance what I love to do with making a living from what I love to do. To that end I took the day off. Amid the chaos of what has become a very blurred line between work and home, I [...]
Churchmouse Yarns + Teas Now Online
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.
The [...]
Quilts for Haiti
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 [...]
Quilting for Peace Giveaway Winners
I wanted to pick a theme for the giveaway comments that would generate good vibes and reflect the spirit of the holidays. You all came through with amazing stories and heartwarming sentiments! The energy from your big hearts and generous souls carries a beautiful message of hope. We’re in very good hands.
It’s just a wee [...]
