FOTY 2011 – Mid December
I am trying different arrangements of triangles for show. The previous arrangements have left so much design wall space in the photos. It took me awhile to cut enough triangles for this photo as I concentrated on the Stepping Stones … Continue reading
Circa 1934 Stepping Stones
Some time ago, I checked a Pam and Nicki Lintott book out of the library. One of the patterns intrigued me. The other day, I stopped at the Granary in Sunnyvale and saw the Circa 1934 fabrics from Moda. I … Continue reading
A Few Things
I didn’t buy anything when I went on Wednesday night and Thursday, but Sunday I went back to PIQF and bought a few things. I didn’t take a picture of the inks. Didn’t have the wherewithall to do a lifestyle … Continue reading

FOTY 2011 Triangles – End of May
Here are so more triangles for FOTY 2011. I am not pressing and cutting them as fast since I am working on other projects, but I am working on them incrementally.

I bought a lot of food fabric fat quarters (say that 3x really fast) for my mom last spring while she was taking care of Super G and trying not to lose her mind. This is one of the blocks … Continue reading
FOTY 2010: Week of 2/14 Progress
This is what I was working with last weekend. Remember when the blues were a problem? Well, at the point I took this photo, the yellows and greens were giving me fits and I could tell the pinks were next. … Continue reading
