These are the two hand pieced blocks that I made last week. Different sort of look. Not so cheerful, but not depressing, either. I am not sure what I was thinking when I put the two dot fabrics in the same block? I thought I wasn’t using dots in this piece. Oh well. It is a scrap quilt, so who cares?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
More dots.

I went to Britex<\/a> today to get some fabric for pants. I was on the second floor and remembered that they have quiltmaking fabric. While the girl was cutting my pants fabric, I took a quick peek at the quilt fabrics. Lo and behold! They had dots! Hooray! I picked up the two above. They also had the Robert Kaufman Tropical Pimatex dots<\/a> in both sizes. I have enough so I didn’t buy any, but it was good to be reminded that they are downtown and do have fabric. DUH!
\"\"<\/a>I also stopped at the Container Store and found these project cases. I have been thinking about something like this since I read Be*mused<\/a>‘s piece on the scrapbook project cases she found (I looked for the article, but couldn’t find it and can’t find her search button either-DUH!). They are 12 1\/2 wide and 17 and something long. I bought two of them just to see how they would work. I filled up one with the Cross Blocks (Flowering Snowballs) + the fabric for the center pieces, which I don’t want to “put away” and never be able to find it again.<\/p>\n

I was told today to look at other kinds of art besides quilts to see what I am inspired by. I have some books. I guess I will look at those and see what I see.<\/p>\n

I am still thinking about black and white line drawings in a new visual journal. I haven’t done anything about it yet.<\/p>\n

The photos of some of the quilts to which I linked (to Artquiltmaker.com<\/a>) in the past week looked really crappy and I was embarrassed after I posted them. I took 4 quilts including Ocean Ave, Get the Red Out, the Punk Rock Quilt and the Mary Whitehead quilt to be photographed. I want to put better pictures on my website.<\/p>\n

The latest baby quilt, which my mom made and I paid to have quilted, is done. It has to be picked up from the quilter soon. She is quilting the Nosegay next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
