Rainbows. Bunnies. Cupcakes. Clutter. Perfectionism. ADD. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. ADD post. Apologies to those who are easily distracted- this is a dump from my very own distracted brain. I was having trouble with slowness on my computer, and battery life on my phone. Umm, yeah. Apparently, having a dozen webpages open at a time will do that. So here is my list: Bookmarks that are currently open on my phone and my computer. Saw these awesome shoes on a customer in line at the store. I think this was me t...

Rainbows. Bunnies. Cupcakes. Clutter. Perfectionism. ADD. Saturday, July 11, 2015. Having said farewell to all my Oregon friends (miss you guys! Moved to California, and gotten a job at a quilt store, it behooves me to check out the local quilt guilds in my area. Lo and behold, there are four. To choose from. Such riches! I am committed to visiting each one, just to see what they are about, but I may have already fallen in love with one group- they were just so welcoming. Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild.

Piece and Press: Sunrise quilt
http://pieceandpress.blogspot.com/2013/04/sunrise-quilt.html
I finished a small quilt with those improv-pieced drunkard's path units I wrote about a couple weeks ago. The arcs are set in solid white, symmetrical on one axis, and a bit off center on the other axis. I quilted horizontal straight lines using 8 or so shades of orange, gold, and yellow. I quilted the first lines on a longarm machine, then filled in on my domestic sewing machine. April 22, 2013 at 12:53 AM. Great work with this. Corduroy comes to mind! April 22, 2013 at 3:40 AM.

Today I'm going to talk a little more about the Measuring Stars. Quilt - this time about the piecing of the star and the background facets. In my last post I mentioned that I started by making the 60-degree diamonds from mostly pink prints. I had cut a stack of 2 1/2" width-of-fabric strips almost two years ago for a project I later abandoned. But seeing that stack of fabric haunted me, and I decided to strip piece some diamonds, then follow where inspiration led. I ended up with a whole lot of diamonds ...

Piece and Press: March 2013
http://pieceandpress.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
It was a pleasure to be able to sew this weekend after several weeks off. I started with a little curved improv piecing, inspired by a gorgeous quilt pieced and quilted by Sue Fox. Sue started teaching me the basics of long-arm quilting last week (more on that in a later post). I cut and shuffled the fabrics, then sewed them together to make 10 blocks, roughly 10 inches each side. Then I set the blocks using the two gray woven fabrics. The top measures approximately 48x64.

Fiber reactive dye for a tea-stain effect. I'm starting a quilt project with prints in a range of reds, and a range of off-whites and tans, but I had a hard time finding fabrics with compatible color tone. I want all the fabrics to have an aged, muted tone, like they were all French General prints. Fabrics printed by Moda with an aged, French countryside personality), even if the prints are not all French General fussy. The first thing that came to mind was Penny Sew Take a Hike. I pulled out all my fabr...

Munchkin's subject is Eleanor Roosevelt. First lady of the United States from 1933-1945, delegate to the United Nations, and architect of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For his "plate" Munchkin chose to sew a baby blanket to show that Eleanor was born with the courage of her convictions. He searched for an appropriate symbol for courage, and chose the Tabono (oars), an Adinkra. Symbol from West Africa. The symbol represents confidence, strength and perseverance.
