Going shopping for fabric – yay!
I’ll be in Anchorage for a short period over the weekend and I get to go to my quilt shop! I *love* it there! I always bump into someone I know and I get to look at all the great new fabrics and get inspired by the projects on the walls. Since it is a…

Fabric Withdrawal
How long can you go without sewing or quilting? I have not sewn or quilted since mid October! I was starting to think that I was cured. Then it hit. Two days of not sleeping well, feeling out of sorts and then *fabric attack*! It’s worse than an allergy attack 🙂 I want to touch…

Videooooooooooooo
I have been having both fun and absolute total frustration – what a combo! And what can cause that? Either quilting a perfect seam and then finding a pucker on the back (oh, yes that has happened to me many times) or a computer. Heh. So, I bought a video camera that I needed to…

Funky Shortcut Quilt

Funky Fabric
It’s time to make a quilt. I need a fabric “fix” 🙂 I found these in my stash, from a project I never even started (how perfect is that! Now they are ready for this project!) That’s my philosophy and I’m sticking to it. Doesn’t that black and white check make you dizzy? I love…

Fabrics from Spring Quilt Market
I let Sarah do my fabric shopping for me and here’s what she chose:a beautiful collection of soft earthy colors called “Victoria” by Benartexand a nice set of complementary fabrics by Andover (the lighter fabrics) and Quilt Gate (the darker maroon colored fabrics). It is absolute heaven to have a “fabric advisor” that I can…
