It's a Mystery!
Today I went up to My Girlfriend's Quilt Shoppe (famous @diydish twins! Kris is the owner) up in Logan, UT for the Halloween Mystery Quilt get together. It's been such a huge hit for them, that they not only meet once, but four times on Saturday! {And they also carry Hoo's In the Forest!} Can I...
Such a pretty quilt! Oh and its a little long but I like the saying...."Chance made us sisters; Hearts made us friends"
Madness and Mayhem in Bari-land
Yup. You heard me right. It's madness and mayhem here. And the truth is, I'm loving it. I must thrive on chaos, as my mom as always said she does ... because I'm a complete and very happy crazy cake right now. I'm working on this little piece as a new PDF pattern, and I hope to have it done by...

This is wonderful! You sound like Carla, drawing patterns with graphic stuff on the computer...I haven't a clue. Hey maybe you can do this as a schoolhouse sometime? Anyways, love the quilt and the new Paris Apartment fabric. I have a Slice Fabrique so I am waiting for your design card to hit the stores! Beautiful! Thanks,
Cathy
Pam Kitty Genius
A couple weeks ago our friend Pam (ours being yours and mine) came over to play. It was one of those mornings. She had tweeted she was unfocused or something of the sort, and I tweeted back, "come be unfocused with me" or something like that. I had been contemplating starting a new quilt w...
Such pretty pretty fabrics...I am drooling!;)
lou-LOU-thi. And England Swings!
louLOUthi = flower (Greek) If there was one of Anna Maria's fabric collections that we could consider THE masterpiece, it would have to be Loulouthi. (That is, if we could pick a favorite. But you know very well that we've loved them all, and each new one ends up our "favorite" at som...

Spring Quilt Market 2011 (re-cap 3)
Sorry for the absence. Quilt Market is one of those events where recovering from it takes longer than the event itself. There are parties every night and that's after a long day slogging ever-growing tote bags all over the convention center. If you ever want to see a gaggle of strung out quil...

A Sis Boom Study haven for my Katie
It's study time for My Katie, and that means it's also time to create a cozy, comfy, peaceful spot in our home for her to sit and relax with those SAT books. When Madeline heard my idea, she went and put together a little haven for Katie in my craft room. Using Nancy Geaney's newest and most fab...
Hi Mel,
This is Cathy, Carla C's assistant! I just double checked my pattern. There are three pieces for the sleeve. The top part which connects to the bodice and the two "Bell Pieces" A and B. For the size 7/8, on the paper pattern itself, the width is 8 5/8 across for both the A and the B where you overlap them.(don't forget you will be cutting this on the fold.) This is much larger than the top piece of the sleeve because you will be gathering the "bell sleeve" part. I hope this helps! If not, please contact me at http://scientificseamstress.com/contact.html
Thanks!!
