Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
It feels a little weird to be posting this so close to the end of the year and the Year in Review post, but here it is anyway. Finished 2014 Quilt Projects Disappearing Pinwheel: finished 5/30/2014 Fabric of the Year 2012: finished 4/24/2014 Flower Sugar Hexagon: finished 7/1/2014 Fresh Fruit: finished May 3/3/2014 Infinity Quilt: … Continue reading “Current Projects – December 2014”
I haven’t fully committed to this quilt by not really sewing on it very regulary. Part of my ambivalence was that I hadn’t looked at it on the design wall, because I wasn’t really able to find a spare spot on the design wall for it. The other thing I have to admit to is … Continue reading “Field Day Zipper”

I have been sewing a little, but it feels like I have been riding a stationary bike: sewing for hours and not going anywhere. I need to change that and finish something. I know I shouldn’t be product oriented, but sometimes finishing something big gives the ego a good boost. The design wall looks different … Continue reading “DWM- Thanksgiving Week 2014”
I spent most of the day yesterday out with Kelly and making banana bread. The Young Man budgeted for $40 worth of bananas for his Eagle Project and then BOUGHT THEM!!! People ate bananas, but $40 is a lot of bananas and we had a about 20 left after the project. By yesterday 12 were … Continue reading “DWM – Mid November”
It seems a little odd to keep posting these photos of what looks like the same design wall week after week. Still there is some difference. You can see the blocks I am making for the project TFQ and I are working on. The octagons are still there, because I am still stuck on the … Continue reading “Design Wall Monday”
The first thing we did after Julie and I met Marie Bostwick for breakfast 😉 , was look at quilts. Mom and Miss Vickie met us near the beginning of the quilts and we got on with it. We had barely started looking at the quilts when I had the best quilt experience EVER. We … Continue reading “Houston Quilt Festival 2014, pt.2”
My design wall is shockingly similar to the last time. Fewer octagons. Similar black and grey donation blocks. If you zoom in, you can see the beginnings of the Modified Garden of Eden blocks I started after we went to PIQF. You have to zoom in, because all you can see are some grey triangles … Continue reading “Design Wall Monday”

A few days ago I talked about a project that TFQ are trying out. I think I am behind, because I didn’t get to sew anything until this past weekend. First of all, I know some of you are thinking “what the heck, dude, don’t you have about a bajillion projects in process?” Well, yes, … Continue reading “PIQF Inspired Project”
The title of this post is so boring I just don’t know if I can stand it. It says what it is and you can find it easily but there is nothing interesting in it at all. 26 Projects was a lot more interesting. I can’t believe it is October. January-Febuary-March seem like they were … Continue reading “Current Projects – October 2014”
TFQ came down for a visit and we went to the Pacific International Quilt Festival on Saturday. In the past we have gone in time for the Preview on Wednesday, stayed over night on Thursday and Friday and really indulged in quilt show ecstasy. TFQ was not able to come down for the last year … Continue reading “PIQF 2014”
As you saw on a recent Design Wall Monday post, I have been working on another piece of mosaic piecing. Finally, over last weekend, there was enough yardage to really make progress on another softie. I have had another owl on my mind and decided it was time to cut out the parts. I finished … Continue reading “Henry 2”
The FMQ Bag should have been on this list forever since April, but I have just put it on. I just started thinking about it and then I worked on it. To Do List: Quilt Christmas table runner Wash fabric AKA The Great Unwashed (I am guessing this will never be off the list, but … Continue reading “October To Do List”
