Long Absence
I've been away from this blog for a long, long time. Sorry about that. It has certainly been quite a year for me! Lots of illnesses in my household, and struggles. Life happens. Yesterday I picked up a quilt project for the first time since April, and that feels pretty... Continue reading

TAST: Satin and Stem Stitch
The last few stitches for TAST have been the satin stitch and the stem stitch. I've used these a lot, and I thought I would dig up some handkerchiefs I embroidered years ago and show them. These lovely handkerchiefs even won a few ribbons for me at the state fair!... Continue reading

Commenting on my blog
I've heard from a couple of people lately that they cannot comment on my blog. I'm trying to accurately describe the problem to Typepad. So I'm asking for some help. Would you please post a test comment to this post? If you try to post and you cannot, please Email me and describe what happened. ...
Mini Bag
I have a confession to make. I am obsessed with bags. I love them. I seem to always need a bag, and matching bags, and I collect bag patterns. Bags, boxes, organizers. Obsessed. Naturally when I ran across the Itty Bitty Treat Bag by Monica Solorio-Snow of Happy Zombie I... Continue reading

I have been keeping up with my TAST stitches since my last update. This week is catch-up week, and we do have a special challenge if we want to try to do something. I decided to do something a little bit different these few weeks. I used my version of... Continue reading

Postage Stamp Finished
It's a FINISH! Woot! I thought, when I joined the Postage Stamp Quilt Along, that it would be a quick fun project that I would throw together in just a couple weeks. It started last May, and I just knew it was perfect timing for me to make the perfect... Continue reading

Flowers ATC
Remember my ribbon embroidery last month? When the theme for March's ATC swap was chosen as "Flowers" I knew just what to do with that little sample! It was already the perfect size, so all I needed to do was finish it off with a little sparkle! Isn't it the... Continue reading

Your color matching is fantastic!
Commented Mar 27, 2012 on Custom Dyed Gradients at Field Trips in Fiber - Adventures in quilting, hand dyed fabric and fiber art.
Custom Dyed Gradients
One of my favorite things about dyeing fabric is getting a request for something custom. Occasionally I am unable to do do what they want, but when it comes to custom dyed gradients I can usually meet the challenge. Here's one I just finished last week. Barbara sent me that narrow strip from a...
Quilting Postage Stamp
Quilting my Postage Stamp quilt along quilt... hmmm, how do I want to do it? I know! I'll play on the argyle that I love so much in this Sugar & Spice collection by The Quilted Fish. I'll stitch the diagonals on the white squares, and alternate red and lime... Continue reading

I am utterly charmed by these nest box watch entries! What a delight to have lovely nests to watch as they build up and your new neighbors raise their babies!
Commented Mar 18, 2012 on Nest Box Watch at Field Trips in Fiber - Adventures in quilting, hand dyed fabric and fiber art.
Nest Box Watch
There's so much activity around the nest boxes! When I showed this nest in box 3 earlier in the week we thought it was a Bluebird nest. Now we aren't sure. That cup is set off in the corner and that's more like a Titmouse or Chickadee nest. A Chickadee nest would have a layer of moss on top. A...
Kittens
I was at my local quilt store for bring your own project night, and some kittens followed me home! Oh my, aren't they the cutest little kittens? I know, I totally don't have the room for them in my house. My shelves, and boxes, and tables are bursting with fabric... Continue reading

Love, from Brazil
I received my "Love" themed ATC from my partner from Brazil! It's gorgeous!! I love the natural weave fiber she did the stitches on. And look at those gorgeous roses! I peeked under them, and they look as if she made them from ribbon first, then stitched them to the... Continue reading

This little quilt I definitely made with schnibbles! Schnibbles of fabric that is! February's pattern for Another Year of Schnibbles is I.S.T.H. (Insert Snappy Title Here). I liked the look of the stars in red and blue, so I went with it. I really like what I have made here.... Continue reading

TAST 6: Chevron Stitch
While I would love to explore this stitch further (and I just might) I am falling a bit behind on my TAST stitches. I thought I would try this stitch out, as I have never done it before. It was fun! I like that most of the thread ends up... Continue reading
