Me-Precision Piecing?

December 8, 2011

It’s been a long time since I have done precision piecing! This has been increasingly obvious as I have worked through my Saw Tooth Star piece. Saw Tooth Star-how hard can that be? It’s one of the easiest blocks to piece! I’ve been making new blocks for my Saw Tooth Star because I’m not happy […]

Work In Progress–With a Little Help

December 1, 2011

After seeing Jan Soules’ work in last week’s River City show, I was inspired to retrieve these colorful Saw Tooth Star blocks from my dusty UFO pile. I pieced these oh-so-imperfect blocks about 5 years ago. They are um, widely varied in color shall we say, and a difficult mix to make into something cohesive. I […]

Yet Another Learning Curve-Done!

The fabric is silk noil, so […]

Yet Another Learning Curve, Sigh

November 7, 2011

I am committed to showing my learning curve on this blog. You don’t always get what you want (Rolling Stones in the background, giggle)! Case in point, I began working on this piece and ran into some…issues. It’s based on a childhood memory I have of Lilly of the Valley surrounded by ferns in my childhood home. I’m […]

Pioneer Quilters Guild Show

November 6, 2011

I visited the Pioneer Quilters Guild Show and Boutique on Friday. I made quite a haul at the boutique-did I get any Christmas presents?? Heck no, but I got some great stuff for…me! Right when I walked in this quilt caught my eye. It’s a great mix of Kaffe Fassett, batiks and other colorful fabrics. […]
