Craftin Mechanic: Tri Something New
http://craftinmechanic.blogspot.com/2014/09/tri-something-new.html
Monday, September 1, 2014. It's been forever since I have been here. I am still sewing constantly but have become a lazy blogger because of Instagram. I just finished my first triathlon that took 3 months to train for. I didn't even know how to swim when I started but now I love to swim. I learned don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone and push yourself. I had this stack of charm squares and thought I should finally sew them up into something. Labels: Finished Quilts 2014.

Margaret's Hope Chest: November 2013
http://margaretshopechest.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 22, 2013. Finish It Up Friday- Two More Finishes! The second quilt I finished is my December contribution to 'A Mother's Hope'. What I love about this quilt is that it was made from all donated material/blocks. The bright colored blocks in the middle of the quilt were donated and I trimmed them so they would be the same size as the white blocks that I had already cut. The border and backing fabrics were also donated! Three cheers for donations! Have a wonderful weekend my friends! 2 UPDA...

Margaret's Hope Chest: July 2014
http://margaretshopechest.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 13, 2014. This quilt was constructed by my mom. She made it from fabrics that reminded her of the housecoats that her mom wore around the house many years ago- soft, flowery fabrics. My mom thought of her 'Aunt' Thelm as she carefully fit the pieces together. ('Aunt' Thelm is actually married to my grandpa's cousin Herm which would make her my mom's 2nd cousin- made more sense to just call her 'aunt' because their families were so close). And so, a big milestone for Margaret's Hope Chest- -2...

http://margaretshopechest.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 27, 2014. More Quilts to 'A Mother's Hope'. Look at these BRILLIANT quilts which were delivered to the Mother/Baby program this week! Again, I will gush over how each is so unique and special, just like the moms who will choose one to become a symbol of hope in their lives. Please notice this quilt:. It is the first (of many) made from the log cabin blocks we collected earlier this year! A big thank you to those who donated these quilts of the last month. You make our mission a joy!

Margaret's Hope Chest: What's Been Happening?
http://margaretshopechest.blogspot.com/2014/04/whats-been-happening.html
Monday, April 21, 2014. I haven't written here in an embarrassingly long time! I have a laundry list of excuses which include my family is moving internationally yet again, the weather in Bermuda has been amazing this winter/spring and so we have spent as much time outside as possible, I have finished several personal projects over the past few months, and last but not least I am the busy mother of five small children! The backing was a piece of donated fabric as well. Yeah! I decided to take it apart an...

Margaret's Hope Chest: June 2014
http://margaretshopechest.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 13, 2014. Once again, I have been neglecting this blog! I can't believe how time is flying by me! We move out of Bermuda to Michigan a week from today. Perhaps I will blog more consistently there? My mom has been faithfully delivering a stack of quilts to the Mother/Baby program every few weeks. Each stack a unique gift of HOPE and love. Thanks to those who continue to support this program. This quilt was made by my mom with the log cabin blocks we collected last year-isn't it great? Taking ...

Craftin Mechanic: Out To Sea And NYC
http://craftinmechanic.blogspot.com/2013/11/out-to-sea-and-nyc.html
Saturday, November 30, 2013. Out To Sea And NYC. After all of the boutique craziness I was able to tag along on a business trip with my husband. It was my first time to NYC. So much to do in so little time. Cute front doors of the shop. There was inspiration everywhere in Purl Soho. I picked up a few of these beautiful felt bundles and a little fabric as well. My husband was very patient while I shopped. We had so much fun eating, walking, shopping and going to plays! Out to Sea by Sarah Jane fabric.
