Sketching #110 #2
I realized that I already drew a response for ‘Beckon,’but I must have had a reason for keeping it on the list. I do like this one better than the first. I didn’t include a lot of detail. I might … Continue reading
Fabric of the Year 2012 – Late June
In addition to sewing I have been cutting. All of the pinks in the Pink Donation Quilt have a square in the piece on the left. There are a few from some fabrics I bought in the last little while. … Continue reading
Sketching #108
I am back trying to post the abundance of Creative Prompt Project Responses I drew a week or so ago. This is abundance. I always wanted a cornucopia, so I thought I would try and draw one. Drawing things with … Continue reading

Signed, Sealed & Delivered
I went downstairs this morning to get some water before I started my day. I hadn’t see the mail from the day before and it was sitting on the dining room table. I glanced through it and noticed two handwritten … Continue reading
Pink Donation Top
TA-DA!!! Yes, here is the pink donation top. It will go off to Jennifer and Deborah the Charity Queens of Awesomeness at the next BAMQG meeting. As you might remember (since I know you memorize all of my posts), there … Continue reading
Corner Store – Late June Progress
After not having much time to sew, as described previously, I spent a lot of time sewing over the weekend. In fact, aside from a quick trip to dinner and a movie with my favorite date and a few other … Continue reading
Block-a-Long Sampler Quilt
I thought I would make up an example of one way you could put the Block-a-Long blocks together in a sampler format. This layout looks a lot more complicated than it really is. Remember each block is relatively easy. Of course, … Continue reading
Encourage to Create
Two new books. I haven’t had time to do more than glance through them, but for some reason, I wanted to let you know that I had a couple of new books. Color Magic for Quilters is all Sandy’s fault. … Continue reading
Art Gallery Scraps

Wayne Thiebaud at the John Berggruen Gallery
There should be a reality show called Vendors Behaving Badly. It couldn’t be any worse than the reality TV shows on channels today. When copious amounts of caffeine and chocolate didn’t work, I took myself off to the John Berggruen … Continue reading
26 Projects – June Update
This list is really funny. I want to scratch items off of it, but I don’t want to rush through them either. I find that, now, I pick up a project and intensely work on it until it is finished. … Continue reading
More Donation Blocks
I am working steadily on the pink donation blocks. I have all 16 finished, though I just had 12 finished when I started writing this post. I have the Corner Store on the portable design wall, so as soon as … Continue reading
Workroom Chaos
You know what this means, right? Yep, the 9000 was in the shop. Bleah. Or so, I thought. It wasn’t really bad, though. I took the 9K to a place I used to take it to. The owner is a … Continue reading
