17 in 2017 and Other Misc. Stuff That I like to Chatter About
Growing Pains
I’m going to blather on today about a quilting issue I’ve been having for quite awhile. Last year I veered off into a very different {for me} way of working called Adhoc Improv. While I feel that it’s been an important shift as far the style …
AHIQ Start and 17 in 2017 Progress!
It never seems like there’s proper time to get a post written these days. Guess I’m spending too much time playing ‘Words With Friends’ with the family, catching up on my reading, or getting pulled away from what I’m doing by my husbands requests to ac…
A Reflection of the Past Year {Quilty-wise} and Essential Elements for 2017
2016 has been such a busy, scattered year for me. I’ve felt rather like a leaf floating down the currents of a river at times, totally at the mercy of all the elements. Now that we’re full swing into the holiday mode, I’ve found myself very reflective …

A Hand Stitching Post
Sometimes the hand work gets lost in the shuffle. We spend innumerable hours on it, but then hesitate to show off our progress. {It doesn’t magically happen overnight people!} This weekend finds me finishing up with not only the petals to my huge Folks…
Prep Work and Some Slow Quilting
I started the centerpiece for my Folksy Flower quilt. Just cut long rectangular chunks of black fabric and then used my rotary cutter to make the curved ‘petal’ end. All freehand of course. Why bother making an exact pattern or trying to be precise whe…
