Pieced Backs
Not too long ago, Frances asked, in one of her podcast episodes, about making pieced backs and whether there was a tutorial. I didn’t look for one, but I knew I had a back to make soon (for the Stepping … Continue reading
Trip East
To those of you who live in places that require you to jump in the car and drive for 20 minutes every time you want an ice cream, a loaf of bread or some fabric, my idea of a trek … Continue reading
WIP Wednesday
Some of the blogs do a feature every week called WIP Wednesday where they show a work in progress. I don’t want to do that every week, but somehow this week it seems appropriate. This is the project that started … Continue reading
Three Quilts Return
These quilts returned to me by mail last week. I just couldn’t open them, because I haven’t finished the hand stitching on the others that I got back last month. Too much piecing and not enough TV watching, I guess. … Continue reading
Fabric of the Year 2010 Top & Back
As I mentioned in the Zig Zaggy post, I am working on finishing tasks for a number of quilts. One of the tasks I finished was the back of the FOTY 2010. The Zig Zaggy quilt back was miserable to … Continue reading
Tornado in the Workroom
I finished the Frosted Stars blocks as I mentioned, so I was a bit at loose ends for what to do next. I am planning to go out of town so I didn’t want to unwrap the Jelly Roll, which … Continue reading

Sunday Work
I felt a bit of freedom in my sewing today. I finished the Blue Janus back yesterday (have to write about that, yes) and didn’t have anything pressing to work on. That left me to see how I felt and … Continue reading
Merry & Bright Wrap Progress
TFQ came to stay last weekend. She and I wedged a visit in even though we had a family event in the middle of her visit. One of the things *I* like to do when she is here is get … Continue reading
Backs
I mentioned a week or so ago that I had spent some time doing rote sewing. Part of that day of roteness (is that a word?) was making backs. Above is the back for the Tarts. As I said previously, … Continue reading
Knitted Scarf Complete!
When we went to the North Coast, I also brought along this scarf, which I discussed before. I only had a few rows to knit before I was ready to bind it off. I knitted a few rows and started … Continue reading
Beach Town Finishing
Last Saturday and Sunday, I had a lot of time for the first time in several weekends to work on quilt projects and I completely tanked in that department. Most of the time I sat around and couldn’t figure out … Continue reading
Julie Tote
I spent some time sewing yesterday in between soccer and a movie. As a result, I finished the Anna Maria Horner Multi-tasker Tote. I keep thinking of it as the Julie tote, since Julie looked high and low and found … Continue reading
Facing Tutorial
I started out with Jeri Riggs’ directions, which Maureen pointed out to me. You need those directions. I needed some clarification and my additions to Jeri’s post comprises the info below. One of the things I really had a hard … Continue reading
Learning Something New
It is always a good day when I learn something new. Yesterday I learned out to make a facing, made a facing and am thrilled! Maureen, a quiltmaker whose work I greatly admire, was making a facing at the CQFA … Continue reading
