UPDATE: Thanks to the Random Number Generator, we have a winner! She will get the Kona Color Card and the mystery prize, which is the “Right Angle” panel from Angela Walters’ Textures line. Congratulations! Yippee! Commenter 146, Mara Cockman said “I’d love to do a cathedral window block project.” Mara, I’ve sent you an email! Good luck […]
More on labels
I follow Ebony Love of LoveBug Studios over on facebook, and she just posted a link to another post over at Jaybird Quilts on making your own labels on Spoonflower. This is when I stare at the screen and think “Duh. Of *course*.” And feel rather foolish. But in a good way! Mmmhmm.
Reliving a wonderful time at the New England Quilt Festival
Back in April, I went to the New England Quilt Festival to take some classes and learn new things. I also got to hang out with a bunch of really great people and laugh like crazy–Angela, Melissa, Lisa, and Theresa–and have some great food and great drinks. Good quilting, good company, good eats, what could […]
Found this on labels
I came across this post over at Monkey Do, talking about labels. Thought I’d share! How do you label? Pigma Pen on a white square? Embroider? something different?
Simple, pretty, and relatively easy
I bought a layer cake of “Honey Honey” by Kate Spain for Moda a couple months back, because I wanted to design a pattern for a layer cake, since that seems like something people tend to do. I wanted a big design to show off the different fabrics in chunks, and settled on what I […]
Albany/Saratoga Springs/Upstate NY–looking for a modern quilt guild?
Hey. There’s a Modern Quilt Guild that meets in Saratoga Springs, NY, the first Saturday of every month starting at 10:30 and going to 4. It’s a low-key sit-and-sew at K&C Framing and Fabrics, where we all bring our own machines and tools, and just hang out, sew, and be inspired. If you’re interested in […]
Testing Labels
I figured I had all these labels, and I do a ton of laundry since I have two kids under 5 (soon to be 6, yikes), so why not just do a test? I cut a piece of practice sandwich I had around, which typifies some of my quilting (poly thread, cotton blend batting, cotton […]
Fun with a new-to-me technique of the week
This one is a simple one, but it was one that got me thinking of a all the different ways it can be applied. I had originally drawn a sketch of the tree of life quilt that I wanted to do so that it would be 80″ x 80″, but after talking with my client, […]
wow–*real* lace
Remember that part in Gosford Park where the servants made fun of one of the lady’s dresses because the lace was cheap machine-made stuff? Poor girl. Well, here’s a site (in Russian) with a collection of handmade laces from the time period. No wonder they mocked that poor woman.
Technique of the week 4/26/13–fast-piece applique
I have a commission for a queen-size raw-edge applique quilt featuring a tree of life. It’s to be organic-feeling (you know, since it’s a tree), and I want it to have some texture to it as well. I also have a big quilt planned with some very large gradual curves, and am looking at different […]
