You got a little peek at this one yesterday - as mentioned, I used these 4" pre-cut squares that I received for Christmas. I pulled all that used aqua/green, navy, and olive. There weren't ... http://www.filminthefridge.com/2009/01/06/ready-to-be-quilted/ Receiving fabric is always fabulous. I like it even better when it's a gift - there's something about not picking it out yourself that's kind of fun. This year I mentioned (many, many times) that I'd love to receive a box of fabric for Christmas. I was told (over and ... http://www.filminthefridge.com/2009/01/05/fabric-and-the-men-who-bought-it/ I finished this quilt top last night. If you recall, I started it last month, though I was supposed to be working on Ryan's This End Up quilt, so I had to put it aside for a while. I like it because it's bright and summery, which is so unlike our ... http://www.filminthefridge.com/2009/01/02/a-very-floral-quilt-top/ I've seen several "a year in review" type posts today, and it seems only appropriate that I do the same. Last year at this time I never would have imagined that I'd have a blog, or that I'd become a quilter, or that I'd rather buy fabric than clothing. Who would ... http://www.filminthefridge.com/2008/12/31/a-look-back-at-2008/ Sally is my sweet 5 year old cousin's doll, and when my aunt mentioned that Sally could use a new blanket, how could I resist?! I had already finished up Ryan's quilt, and I had a day off from work ... just enough time to get one more Christmas present ... http://www.filminthefridge.com/2008/12/31/sally-got-a-quilt-too/ Thanks for all the comments on the giveaway post! The winner of this giveaway, as selected by random.org - #32, Holly. I had to laugh at her comment - "I NEED FABRIC. I Neeeeeed fabric. I really neeeeeeeeeeeed fabric. Please." Well Holly, here you go! A little selection of fabric just for ... http://www.filminthefridge.com/2008/12/30/a-fabric-winner/ This year my family each selected just one person to buy gifts for. I ended up with my brother, and before you think that I just forced my love of quilts on a 29 year old guy, let me preface this by saying that he had previously mentioned that he'd ... http://www.filminthefridge.com/2008/12/29/this-end-up-quilt/ Today seemed like a good day for some cleaning, which ultimately led me to rearrange and organize my fabric stash. I've come to the conclusion that I really have more than I will ever be able to use, including a bunch of fabric that I really never see myself using. ... http://www.filminthefridge.com/2008/12/27/a-fabric-giveaway/ because this wine bottle really needed a bow... and a cute little tag. Since I didn't have time to sew a wine bag, I opted to make this quick little ribbon to give it a bit of a holiday look. I finished it off with this cute little gift tag, available at ... http://www.filminthefridge.com/2008/12/23/last-minute-sewing-and-a-quick-tutorial/ Sometimes I think that I should sew something other than just quilts. After this little sewing project though, I think I should stick with quilting! I decided to make this makeup/toiletries bag because I had some vinyl coated marimekko fabric just perfect for the interior. I didn't have a pattern, nor ... http://www.filminthefridge.com/2008/12/19/i-should-stick-to-quilting/
