Corner Store Progress
I think this project will progress in fits and starts. I made the new blocks (on the right) while I was piecing the Flowering Snowball. I used the Corner Store blocks as leaders and enders. Such a useful, productivity improving … Continue reading
Flowering Snowball Top & Back
Sunday was a nice day. It was Mother’s Day and, though nobody in my house said anything specifically, I did whatever I wanted and didn’t have to do too many chores. I received a depressing, if very true card and … Continue reading
Flowering Snowball – Chunked
I thought I would work on the Corner Store as my next project. It was calling to me during the dark time while I pieced the Renewed Jelly Roll Race. As soon as I turned my attention to it, it … Continue reading
The Beginning and The End
This photo shows how this project started. Well, really it started as a Kate Spain Terrain Jelly Roll, but then I sewed it into a quilt top using the Jelly Roll Race idea and it ended up looking like a … Continue reading
Over the Hump
Process, for me, can be a killer. I want everything to move smoothly along until I finish, then I want to hang the quilt up and move to the next project. When that happens, though, the project is often boring … Continue reading
Jelly Roll Race – Weekend Work
It is at this point in the process where I just want someone to take me out of my misery. Obviously, I am being dramatic, but really, I don’t want to do this project anymore and I wonder why I … Continue reading
Renewed Jelly Roll Race Progress
After cutting what seemed like a zillion diamonds last week, the picture(left) is what resulted. There are a lot of diamonds. As I mentioned, about 158. It would be nice if that left corner was filled with diamonds as well. … Continue reading
Jelly Roll Race Background
I have been hard at work figuring out what to do with the Jelly Roll Race background. I tried the Ta Dot Grey as someone suggested. I love that fabric, but think it fights with the fabrics in the actual … Continue reading
Renewed Jelly Roll Race
This is the piece that I started with. As you might remember, I wasn’t very happy with it. It doesn’t have enough interest to continue with it as a quilt. Still, I suffered through all of those long seams, so … Continue reading

Fabric of the Year 2011 – Update
The Fabric of the Year 2011 top, back and binding are finished and ready to be sent to the quilter. As you may know from my previous post, I ripped out the first inner border (which meant ripping out all … Continue reading
FOTY 2011 Update
I was going to say “HOORAY!!! I finished the FOTY 2011 top!”, jump up and down and encourage us all to dance together. But. No dice. I starting ripping out the border on Monday, because it screamed at me. The … Continue reading
FOTY 2011 Update
I made really good headway on FOTY 2011 over the weekend. If I had not gone to BAMQG, I would have finished the top, but socialization is a good thing. The photo on the left shows where I left it … Continue reading
Doing Good
I am really enjoying making these 16 patch/postage stamp blocks for the BAMQG Charity Quilt project.The beneficiary of our quilts is the Lucille Packard NICU. Apparently, they use the quilts (and other kinds of blankets) to cover the incubators and … Continue reading
Stepping Stones Well Underway
The Stepping Stones top is done. It is quite large and my quilt hanger was not able to hold it to its full width. I am pleased with how it came out, though I think I will add a quilting … Continue reading
Stepping Stones Progress on BDSI
Monday was the Boxing Day Sew-in, which was organized by Sandy and contributed to by various other podcasters and quiltmakers. I have to say that I jollied myself along to get involved and am glad I did, because I had … Continue reading
