Piece and Press: Yoga bag
http://pieceandpress.blogspot.com/2013/07/yoga-bag.html
Hamish is on a yoga kick lately, but sadly lacks appropriate yoga lifestyle accessories. So I set about making a bag for his yoga mat. I picked a handsome Parson Gray canvas print and studied up on free patterns and tutorials. Nothing matched my vision exactly, but several tutorials had helpful bits and pieces. There are three open pockets on the outside of the bag around the base. The bag and pockets are lined with quilting-weight cotton. For proportions and outer pocket, Modest Maven's tutorial. Hey I ...
Piece and Press: Happy Harvey Milk Day
http://pieceandpress.blogspot.com/2013/05/happy-harvey-milk-day.html
Happy Harvey Milk Day. Today is Harvey Milk Day in California, honoring the birth date of one of my heroes in the struggle for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights. We've come so far in the last couple years - it's hard to imagine the challenges Harvey faced when he won public office as an openly gay man. Harvey Milk. Photo by permission of Daniel Nicoletta. Two years ago I started a portrait quilt of Harvey Milk, based on this famous photo by Daniel Nicoletta. I finished in June 2011. The quilt...
Piece and Press: A pile of coasters
http://pieceandpress.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-pile-of-coasters.html
A pile of coasters. My mom was at my home the other day. She picked up a quilted fabric coaster I had made from an orphan block and said, "This is what I want." Well, there's no arguing with that,is there. I got it in my head to make some mini lonestars, cropped round and quilted. I wasn't sure how many I'd make. Maybe 4 or a couple more, I thought. Once I got going they came together pretty fast and I ended up making 12, enough for three game tables when my mom and dad host bridge night. I finished the ...
Piece and Press: Orb final, including quilting notes
http://pieceandpress.blogspot.com/2013/05/orb-final.html
Orb final, including quilting notes. I finished the binding on the Orb quilt the other day using the same hibiscus purple that appears in strips on the quilt top, only without the orange bits. The final dimensions are 51" x 51". And I had some helpers for taking photos yesterday. I'm still quite happy with the quilting on this one. I emptied several spools of orange and yellow thread. 1 I started by marking (but not sewing) the locations of the circles. I used two small bowls as circle templates. Categor...
Piece and Press: Howto: Binding little round things
http://pieceandpress.blogspot.com/2015/04/howto-binding-little-round-things.html
Howto: Binding little round things. I wasn't sure how I would finish the edges of my lonestar circle coasters. I liked the idea of double-fold quilt binding, but it seemed like it might be tricky, especially the curves and the relatively tight diameter. I decided to try it on one coaster, and then decide what to do with the rest. It turned out exactly like I wanted. I'll show you how I did it. Diameter * 3.14) 3". Go back to the 4" marked tail. Gingerly wrap the tail around the circle edge as if you ...

Peppermint Pinwheels - On The Design Wall: November 2014
http://onthedesignwall.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Amish: The Modern Muse. Awhile back, I mentioned. That I had submitted a couple of quilts to an upcoming show at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. Well, they were both accepted! If you live in the Bay Area, I highly recommend you make it over to check out the museum. I've only had a tiny sneak peak at the quilts in the Modern Muse show, but I know they're going to be wonderful, not to mention the stunning antique quilts that will be on display!

Tutorial: Quilted Mariner's Compass Floor Cushion. Awhile back, I made a floor cushion for my friend Kim. Featuring her first fabric line, Tidal Lace.

This is one of the only 'normal' photos. Taken of me within the last 4 years. I was at the 311 concert. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Doesn't every great story start out like that? Okay, so I'm really not a fan of writing about myself. I'm never sure what's relevant and what people really want to know. I don't really like labels either. Hmm. So now what?

Crazy Birds Studio: April 2015
http://sewbird.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Almost done with my Modern Maple Quilt. I just have to sew down the binding! In my last post. About this quilt, it was heading off to Sister Beth's house to be quilted. I was so proud of myself for getting the striped binding all ready to go. Unfortunately, I ended up not liking that binding. It was too busy for the leaves. Beth and I auditioned all of the solids, and decided on Kaffe's shot cotton "Sunshine". What a great shade of yellow! Linking up to WIP Wednesday. I bought ...
Oil and Thread: An apron with a gathered ruffle
http://oilandthread.blogspot.com/2014/11/an-apron-with-gathered-ruffle.html
Being a true accompt of the on-going exploits of a self-taught seamster and four iron ladies. Sunday, 30 November 2014. An apron with a gathered ruffle. Dear readers and follows I am sorry not to have written sooner. I really don't know where the time has gone. More responsibility at work plus regular weekend working, a new home with, for the first time, a garden? Big changes seem to have left little time for blogging and. The one other thing I would have done differently in hind sight was to make sure I...

74"x84". Photo credit Daniel Rouse. Creating art brings a tremendous amount of joy to my life, and boy howdy has that been important this year. I chose the subject because RuPaul gives me so much joy with his music, his podcast. And most of all with Drag Race. And this quilt brings me buckets of joy. I started with the inspiration of promotional photos for the Sissy That Walk. Would the shifting colors just look like a rash? Improvisationally pieced log cabin blocks. Photo credit Daniel Rouse.

Piece and Quiet
Tuesday, November 24, 2009. The name of this pattern is, "Boy Oh Boy". It was designed by a woman in Draper Utah, and I really enjoyed putting it together. I think I would make this pattern again, I love the triangles. This bedspread is backed with flannel, and was machine quilted with details pulled from the focus fabric. I love how it turned out, and it looks great on my son Carter's bed. I still have some fabric left to finish up some triangle throw pillows, that's a project for another day! Here's a ...

A journey in making cloth. Tuesday, May 8, 2012. I seem to have lost a lot of momentum. Posting a photo of my show quilt, Urban Oasis, now, two weeks after our Guild Show. I've been busy since the show because when I saw the quilt on stage, I realized it wasn't hanging flat. I wouldn't normally care. After all it is a bed quilt. But I've entered it into the Vermont Quilt Festival. The largest and oldest quilt show in the Northeast! Is there anything I can do? Her synapses were firing, she hypothesized th...
