I think one of Lisa‘s idea’s with One World One Heart was to show off different artists’ work. It worked for me. I was checking a comment (some of the comments look just like spam – bleah!) on the OWOH post and was taken to Roc’s blog. As you know, I am a wannabe visual … Continue reading “Roc’s Blog – Inspiration from One Heart One World”
I did the One World One Heart blog round robin thing, as you probably noticed, back in February. I had hoped that people would take some time with their comments, and join the CPP. I see a lot of new readers, but not many commentors and no new CPP participants. That is ok with me … Continue reading “Artquiltmaker Giveaway”
Our Internet connection at home slowly came back up over the course of the week. Hooray! We had one computer working early in the week, but the WiFi wasn’t completely up and running until Thursday.

Dolores, a member of CQFA, faithfully arranges a retreat every year. Every year it is better and better. I had in my mind that I would make her a pencil roll as a thank you.

I know I am not even most of the way finished with FOTY 2009, but I am on to FOTY 2010. I guess I have to keep moving forward. I mentioned that I was thinking of making a diamond one patch. I looked at the diamond ruler that I have at home and decided that … Continue reading “Ideas for FOTY 2010”
I spent Sunday, and a few minutes on Saturday night, finishing up the FOTY blocks so I can take them to the CQFA Retreat. When I return from sewing bliss, I hope to have the quilt top ready to show you. I really like the warm colors in this group. Some of the darker colors, … Continue reading “Last of the FOTY?”

If you thought Sew Creative was good, you will love Calico Creations. We found Calico Creations accidentally on our way to the post office. I had seen the listing on Google, but thought it was a chain upholstery shop. There is a decorating/soft furnishing shop with a similar name near me so I ignored the … Continue reading “Calico Creations, Mt. Vernon, Wash”
