Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
Shockingly, I am almost done with another journal. I ordered a new one so I will be ready and it took forever to arrive. I have been waiting to finish this journal cover so I could measure using the actual journal. It isn’t like I don’t have 30 around, but most have covers on them … Continue reading “Soon-to-be Journal Cover”

After I took FOTY 2013 off the wall and before I put the Russian Rubix up on the wall, I put the very few Field Day blocks up to see what I had. Well, it isn’t looking exactly as I expected or anticipated, though there are also not very many pieces yet. The pattern calls … Continue reading “Field Day. Hm.”
Nos. 15-18 were added and crossed off as I wasn’t feeling terribly productive and I needed a little pick-me-up. Some of the items below have been on the list for a very long time and are getting somewhat depressing. That push a month or so ago to work on things and cross them off the … Continue reading “September To Do”

I made serious progress on the blocks for this quilt last weekend. As I mentioned, I took photos Friday (a week ago). That really prepared me for knowing what I needed to do to make some progress. Finding the blocks, which had gotten stuff under a pile of fabric, was a really good start. I … Continue reading “Black/Grey Donation Top – Serious Progress”
I decided to join in the Design Wall Monday posts that people write and discuss. Why not? My design wall looks remarkably similar to the last time I posted about my design wall. I did note that I have made progress. Though we had some things to do this weekend, I decided to make progress, … Continue reading “Design Wall Monday”
I feel fortunate that I can contribute to a charity that helps people locally by using my sewing and quilting skills. I don’t think that contributing to charity should be unpleasant or painful and making quilts or quilt blocks is an awesome way to contribute. That being said, this year has not been the most … Continue reading “Doing More Good”

Six quilts finished this year already! Not the same as last year, but respectable. As I look at these lists, I can hardly believe that some of the projects, which I now think of as old, were not even on the first list I made. Crazy. Finished 2014 Quilt Projects Disappearing Pinwheel: Finished May 30, … Continue reading “Current Projects – June 2014”
I had these two blocks mostly cut out before I went to Grand Parlor, but didn’t get around to sewing them until last weekend when, after finally getting my sewing mojo back, I worked hard at avoiding the Petrillo Bag. These are the next two in the crosses section (Blocks 1-15 of the City Sampler … Continue reading “Tale of Two Cities – Early June 2014”

Last month I said that I wasn’t sure I would finish as many quilts in 2014 as I did in 2013. Famous last words. I finished two quilt this month! I am still reminding myself that it is about the process and also about what I am learning, and sharing with you. Finished 2014 Quilt … Continue reading “Current Projects – May 2014”
