Skip to BLOG SUBSCRIPTION-2. Skip to PW FOLLOW BUTTON WIDGET-2. Skip to PW BOARD WIDGET-2. Classes & Lectures. More Student Work (and a bit of my own). June 28, 2016 7:42 pm. In Nevada. The two images here are from one student who did two of the class projects and is working on a third that she promises to send me when it is done. Two New Quilt Pictures From a Desert Quilter. Now onto my latest workshop: I taught my Animal Totem class to the Westside Quilters Guild. Some of my latest small quilts. I have...

State of the Craft: More Adventures with Scrap Strips
http://stateofthecraft.blogspot.com/2013/05/more-adventures-with-scrap-strips.html
State of the Craft. Further Adventures of a Boy Quilter. Tuesday, May 07, 2013. More Adventures with Scrap Strips. I was pretty pleased with Green. The second of my "sew a bunch of strips together and call it good" quilts. It and its earlier cousin Purple and Blue. Were great ways of burning through fabrics that were ugly or just not to my taste, or of which I had long, skinny pieces not likely to be of much use otherwise. Purple and Blue. Here is what happens when you start working with the concept of "...

State of the Craft: A Wedding Quilt for 2010

State of the Craft. Further Adventures of a Boy Quilter. Wednesday, August 29, 2012. A Wedding Quilt for 2010. Then, I pretty much stopped quilting for a year or so. And then I picked up my project list last fall for the first time in ages and was all like "OMG! I forgot about Joey and Daisy's wedding quilt! The primary design considerations were:. That it wanted to be "symmetrical-but-not-too-symmetrical.". That it wanted to consist of a short series of values in a single color. View my complete profile.

State of the Craft: April 2013

State of the Craft. Further Adventures of a Boy Quilter. Monday, April 29, 2013. Quilts for Ann and Gandalf. Since last week's post about the quilt I made for my parents, I've finished two additional pieces. That makes it sound like I'm pouring time and energy into the craft and making extraordinary speed, but actually what's happening is that I keep deciding to do something and then discovering that I've already done it. A neat trick, you will admit. Serial number 21, a wall-hanging sort of deal:. And d...

State of the Craft: October 2010
http://stateofthecraft.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
State of the Craft. Further Adventures of a Boy Quilter. Monday, October 25, 2010. I got very small quilt in the mail this summer from my quilting buddy Jennifer! I know she is not the first person to do this, but I was impressed both by the zippy little miniature and by how well it worked. There was nothing to stiffen it - it just used regular batting - but the intrepid employees of the USPS endured whatever rain, snow, sleet, and hail necessary to get it from Keystone State to Beaver State. Sweet!

State of the Craft: January 2011

State of the Craft. Further Adventures of a Boy Quilter. Thursday, January 27, 2011. Two More Gift Quilts. I gave two quilts for Christmas this year, both of them StormQuilts. SQ#13 started off more or less on a lark. But as it developed I realized that it was both very warm and very wide, both qualities treasured by Mrs.5000. So after I finished it in early December, it mysteriously disappeared until it emerged from under the tree. Whereas SQ#7 ended up square, SQ#6 is a more practical rectangle. No...

State of the Craft: July 2012

State of the Craft. Further Adventures of a Boy Quilter. Wednesday, July 04, 2012. Eight Quick Childrens' Quilts, Part II. Last month, I wrote about making a short stack of childrens' quilts and giving the first few away. Last night a third one found its new owner, who quickly got tangled up in it and crashed to the hard floor on the back of his head. I thought this might lead to mixed feelings about the new blanket, but no, he seemed to like it. In particular, he liked the frogs. How Sweet. Babies.

State of the Craft: Purple and Blue
http://stateofthecraft.blogspot.com/2010/05/purple-and-blue.html
State of the Craft. Further Adventures of a Boy Quilter. Friday, May 28, 2010. Here's my first finished piece in however long. I don't really have a name for it, other than Purple and Blue. It's officially Quilt #57 (although it's probably about the 70th quilt I've made. Long story). It measures 69" x 90". And it looks pretty flat and dull here - my wife ran off for the week with the good camera. Labels: 57 - Blue and Purple. Its Finished Its Finished. May 28, 2010 at 8:17 PM. June 1, 2010 at 4:50 AM.

State of the Craft. Further Adventures of a Boy Quilter. Sunday, February 24, 2013. An Unexpected Tinkering With Fabric. I've been quilting again for the last week or so. It has been quite a while. It's a good thing, because I probably have enough fabric stored up to make a quilt face along the lines of the above every day for the rest of my threescore-and-ten. And I like making something kind of cool out of scraps. I have to admit, though, that the "What are you going to DO with them? 21 - Anns Quilt.
