I just finished this quilt yesterday and it’s become an instant favorite!
If you remember, I came up with this quilt idea when going through my fabric scraps. I realized I had quite a lot of polka dotted fabrics and decided that would be the theme of this quilt. I wasn’t so strict about the polka [...]
Good times! Thanks to everyone who provided recommendations.
We did take a LONG walk to Purl Patchwork - great little store with fabric to the ceiling. I picked up a few prints - mainly polka dots (see, I just can’t help myself!). It looks like I may have to start another polka dot quilt! (speaking of, [...]
New York City was great fun - lots to do and see, and even though we only saw a really, really small portion of it, we had a lot of fun!
Thank you to everyone who left such nice comments and congratulations. I enjoyed reading each and every one and I love that so many people [...]
I’m sad that this fabric line has been discontinued, but it did give me a good reason to stock up!
I’m sure I’ll be ordering more in the near future, but for now this is a start… I think it’s destined to become part of yet another quilt.
We’re headed to NYC for the weekend for a [...]
We woke yesterday to snow in the air. It wasn’t accumulating in our area, though it seems that the mountains did get some accumulation. Each year it seems as though the snow comes earlier and earlier - far earlier than I think it should (Vermont may not be the best place for me!)
Snow and chilly [...]
Look at this - fabric that’s not orange or brown!
I wanted to see the new Amy Butler Daisy Chain line in person, so I bought several half yards a few weeks ago. They’re really quite bold, and I wasn’t sure what I’d use them for. They’ve been sitting in a stack on the floor of [...]
Sea Flower Stripes!
Morgan picked the name - I never can come up with anything creative. I guess it’s obvious - it’s named for the fabrics used… lots of the Mendocino line - mermaids, fish, kelp and jellyfish - as well as a few of the floral prints from the Lightning Bugs line, and of course [...]
I finished the backing for my Spotted Squares quilt this weekend. I wanted a mainly solid background, but didn’t really want to do white, so I went with one of the patterns from the front - a pink Heather Bailey mod beads. I did add a bit of white, as well as a couple of [...]
Whit, this post is for you.
I got a bit of grief from my sister about the picture in yesterday’s post. Apparently she did not care for the photo I used, which really didn’t show much (and yes, that was intentional!) I had to laugh though, since she had actually already seen the start of that [...]
