Quilting with Karen: Arrowhead Block Tutorial
http://quiltingwithkaren.blogspot.com/2012/01/arrowhead-block-tutorial.html
Sharing and searching for new experiences in quilting. Thursday, January 19, 2012. The Arrowhead block is a very simple block to sew as long as you are careful to sew SCANT 1/4" seams, you cut accurately and you match seams carefully. This block finishes at 8 ½”. I. Lay the square on your cutting mat as shown in the photo at right below, with the unsewn sections at the top right and lower left. Cut the square in half diagonally through the sewn corners. Be sure you do not cut through the unsewn corners.

Sharing and searching for new experiences in quilting. Friday, February 18, 2011. A Short Film Diversion. Today I saw this wonderful animated film on The Daily Blog (The Quilt Show's blog) and thought I would share it with all of you. It is a Canadian film made in 1996 by Gayle Thomas, an animator and director, and uses traditional quilt blocks in animation to music. Check it out: http:/ www.nfb.ca/film/quilt.

Sharing and searching for new experiences in quilting. Monday, June 6, 2011. A Few Flora and Fauna Photos. This is not quilting related, but thought you might enjoy a few flora and fauna photos- how's that for a little alliteration. Thought you were back in high school English class, didn't ya? My friend, Patty, and I took a trip up to the Wild Animal Park- sorry, the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park- a few weeks ago and got some good exercise walking all over the park. Why did they change the name? I have be...

Quilting with Karen: Portrait of a Friend
http://quiltingwithkaren.blogspot.com/2012/03/portrait-of-friend.html
Sharing and searching for new experiences in quilting. Saturday, March 17, 2012. Portrait of a Friend. Recently I finished a long overdue gift for a dear friend in Pennsylvania. I thought she would get a kick out of a whimsical portrait. I decided that a tote bag would be the best option to show off the portrait so I designed a bag for that purpose. The back of the bag has a large pocket and the sides are cinched with some cute bows. The "eyes" are Velcro circles that act as fasteners for the shades.

Here are the "after" photos. Bookshelves and pattern notebooks. Pattern envelopes and pattern instructions and tissue pieces. Now all I have to do is keep it this way! If you have a organizational or storage tip please share it as a comment. We can all use new ideas. Now on to the next goal! Block of the month.
