I got up bright and early this morning at 5:00 am and with coffee in hand started to read the digest for today. It's a little frustrating that the "new board" digest seems to have lots of repeats and not as many threads as the old one, so I started looking at the pictures section. I came across a wonderful thread started by Grammy Dwynn which I enjoyed enormously when she first posted it in July - the Scrappy Quilt Show. Since she started it, this marvelous thread has grown. ...
A few days ago I stopped into one of our Walmarts to look for a particular notion and while I was there anyway ... I just HAD to take a look through the fabric! Let me back up a bit. My FIRM rule for shopping for fabric at Walmart is to never, not ever, pay more than $3.99 a yard, and if it's cheaper, all the better. That said, I've really increased my stash exponentially at this store. Much of that is thanks to my husband who loves to dig through the bolts and more often than not ...
Let me just say that not knowing how to do something never stopped me. I just uploaded a big old bunch of photos of my quilts -- if you can call them that! This was an act of bravery. Beginning in 2006-2007 I started making religious themed quilts. Some were wall quilts. Some were lap quilts. They were so utterly wonky that I should have been embarrassed to show them to anyone. Especially the one I attempted with faux leather. I guess people have different ...
I subscribe to Dutchsinse on Youtube and have followed him for over a year and have to say that he gives really excellent reporting on earthquakes and wild weather predictions due to HAARP rings. He predicted the horror in Joplin, MO a couple of days before it happened. Over the last two days he has been measuring radioactive properties of the snow in St. Louis. The news is NOT good. Think about it. The earthquake at Fukushima happened just about a year ago and all the mess has been drifting our ...
Good morning. Hope you take the time to find some love around you today. Remember, the more you give, the more you get. And in that vein, I just remembered that I've been remiss in welcoming new members to the board. I do recall that when I joined there were lovely people who took a moment to greet me so for Valentine's Day, I decided to visit the new members thread and spread the quilty love. No time to do them all, but I will try to do two or three each day. How about you? ...
As some of you may, or may not know, one of the primary ways I earn a living these days is by making mantillas. What's a mantilla? It's a veil. Nope, not a wedding veil. These are made for women who wear them to church on Sundays - usually those who attend the Latin Mass. Also, if you're going to the Vatican and are fortunate enough to have an audience with the Pope, you'll need one. Anyway, with quilting and this and that intrusion into the regular pattern of my life, I am soooo behind ...
Moedeenie (aka Maureen) pointed out the crocheted bicycle frame cover on the front of the latest Joann mailer. It is hilarious! I told her that it reminded me of the Purple People - Adam and Eve Purple - who used to run a famous community garden in NYC. They used to ride around on bicycles that looked like that except all purple with many decorations. Here's a link to a YouTube video if you're interested http://youtu.be/-VfBvdzgQxY We were kindred spirits, I guess. When ...
What have I gotten myself into? Chele, who runs the doll quilt swap announced that she is ready to "retire" as hostess. Since this is one swap that I really love, I didn't want to see it go. I volunteered. Starting in March, I will be the new hostess.
Here is the Bucket of Strips Quilt top. I was so excited that I couldn't even wait to iron it out. It looks soooo much more awesome in person. Many thanks to thepolyparrot for her design help. And for convincing me that I need EQ!
