Projects Completed Since July 2012

Back to Work on My Overflow of Projects in Process

I did finish quite a few of my projects that I had setting around, but I still have many more. Some are from 2004, yes from 2004. Not because I didn't want to finish them, but because life got in the way and they got stuck back in a corner and forgot. Some I just got bored with at the time. 

Today I am working on a quilt for my grandson. Tiny little squares from 30's reproduction prints. There will be well over a thousand squares. What was I thinking? It will be worth it in the end.

New Day

It is spring and so new beginnings are coming. For me it will be a continuation with new additions. I have decided to work on my type of art with a twist. I am writing tutorials, I am going to be adding my some guest artists on occasions, I will have a new web site to be announced here when I am up. I am blessed because my brother has his own server and my sister in law and he both know a lot web design, internet etc. I know the sewing and business end. Both of them are crafters also.

I am asking that all quilters, crafts people, jewelers, etc learn how to get along. Learn how to share your craft. I feel that this genre has become so nasty. After reading many blogs lately people are attacking other for getting our ideas out in the public. Here is the deal If you don't want your ideas out there don't post them. Plain and simple. How many computers do you think they are on? The surface design issue, please what does Moda fabric and Kate Spain expect.  As far as completely new designs how many are there really? Go back and look and look at older designs, quilt, fabric, art, clothing, etc. Just my humble opinion.

 

         Have a beautiful day!

I Am Moved In

I am moved in, and finally started working on projects again. Not without issues. Half of my things are still packed and in the garage, but that is okay. This will truly give me an idea of what I don't need, or what I need to replace. I discovered I had more fat quarters, cuts of fabric, than I had of fabric. Some of them are totally random. What was I thinking?

Anyway, want a peek at what I am working on. I will let you see if you promise not tell.

A Christmas Present. Can you guess what it is?

A star Dotee doll I made for a trade.

Not Done. It's a Christmas Present! Needs borders and quilting.

                                                                    

So really I have been trying to work. I hope you like the work.

By the way I LOVE Tennessee

Happy Crafting and Keep Smiling 

I Am Moving

Memi and I are getting ready to move to Tennessee in late June. Since the middle of April Memi and I have experienced some changes in our lives. I am sad to leave Pennsylvania, but I am looking forward to my new life in Tennessee. Memi will adjust in time as long as she has her mommie and her sleeping bag in her chair. 

As I pack though, I get tired easy, sooo......
I have tried to work on some projects. I haven't made much headway as my table keeps getting buried and buried again. I am hoping that this weekend I can devote to working on my projects, and not so much packing. I have been acting like I was leaving the last of May.
