Just wanted to update before the big holiday weekend engulfs me completely. Too much to do and not enough time to get it done in! Finally managed to finish the applique border on my Improv. Woven Basket. It finishes out at approx. 73″ square, so I thin…
May AHIQ Update
Finally Some Improv. Progress
It’s improv. time of the month again! I have three projects in the works, one of which I showed progress on the other day. It’s down to the applique border work for my Improv. Big Basket quilt {made out of strings} and the quilt top probably …
A Quilt Top Finish and the Current Improv. Play on the Wall
It’s AHIQ time again and I’ve been stitching and stitching, trying to get Chunky Crossroads to a quilt top finish. I sewed as much of the applique as possible before attaching the borders to to the main part of the quilt. So much easier to de…
My AHIQ Make-Fabric Geese
So this 28’x 28′ scrappy piece has resurfaced after about a two year nap. I’ve almost tossed it a time or two and then reconsidered. Nah… There’s just something about it that makes me wonder.Make-Fabric CenterpieceWonder if it could be the start to s…
The Latest AHIQ Stuff Going On Around Here

February AHIQ Play
For some reason I experience a lot of resistance to starting my ‘improv.’ quilt projects. Yeah, yeah, I wing it all the time with applique, but that’s different. Applique improv. is easy peasy.*wink So even with lots of ideas percolating in my br…
Another Play With Improv.
I’m sure you’ve heard it before, but I’ve got to say it again. I’m simply terrible at keeping up with BOM’s, Linky Party’s and QAL’s. Please don’t take offense if you have one I keep skipping. And what beautiful irony that I have my own monthly linky p…
A Long Ramble About My Comfort Quilts and Also Some Improv.
I cut out these flannel strips about the middle of December and have been slowly sewing them together ever since. It’s been good mindless sewing for those crazy times when thinking is an impossibility. Sadly, they get quite tedious to work on at times….
Struggling With a Different Process
I need to approach what I’m doing from another angle occasionally. Have a different starting point and look at things from a fresh viewpoint. I guess that’s why Kaja and Ann’s AHIQ series is so interesting to me.My starting squaresI…
