Quilt math. And colors. Lots of both. Will resurface soon!
So much everything. Good. Change. All that. This ended up very cryptic. I’m ok with that.
Here’s May. I went back to a slightly saner color palette with this one. Here’s a shot with the five blocks together. I think it’s pretty darn cute. The background white/ivory/bone/whatev...
Here’s April. I started this after some more wonderful colors showed up and as a result, I went a wee bit crazy with the colors. I was somewhat afraid of how crazy it was going to look and that it wo...
This is something I’ve wanted to do since about a month after the business started. How many years later now? But it’s done. I’m sure there are a million tutes out there for making ...
I’ve held off doing this month’s Aurifil block because I’ve been anxiously awaiting this box of loveliness. It should compliment the existing Aurifil 12wt that I have just wonderful...
Real life rainbows today. No, it’s not over-saturated in Photoshop. That’s actually how red they are. And a never-ending blue sky. My little photogs-in-training. And a couple rainbows in ...
Rainbows… make… everything… better. (Fabric: Kona. Maker: Me. Reason: Will share later. Are those pieces as small as they look?: Yes.)
PDFs: Up. Here. Paper: Packed. Poor Mailman.
We wrap up the new pattern roundup today with something completely different. I’ve never done a mini-quilt pattern before nor have I done an embroidery pattern before. But now, I’ve done ...
I’m going to go out on a limb – and based on pre-orders – and say you guys are somewhat fond of this pattern. One of the challenges of making the quilts and photographing them is ke...
Today we visit Ascend. Believe it or not, this quilt was drawn way back when. Like living-on-the-other-coast way back. Since then, approximately 3,284,882 zig zag quilts have been made in one form or...
Seattle. This city is all about water — whether it’s falling from the sky, in the Sound, Bay or a lake, or frozen on the mountain you’re skiing on. I’ve been craving anything ...
Introducing the Spring 2012 patterns! The short version: Patterns are available for pre-order now and are expected to ship April 2nd. PDF versions will be available for purchasing and downloading sta...
These quilts once lived the posh life of a cover quilt — made with precision and pampered through photographs and Quilt Markets. It’s now time for this quilt to find a good and loving hom...
Now that Kate Spain has shared her identity as “The Designer” in my previous posts, I wanted to connect a few dots for folks who are confused about apparent discrepancies between what I p...
A statement will be issued shortly.
Pixel Play — set to be release in August 2012 — is a collection of patterns perfect for families and kids — from the family room, to the bedroom to the nursery — for boys and ...
This has been a long time coming. I need to separate the two. There’s just too much negative/stressful everything surrounding work these days (and the fact that I call it ‘work’ is ...
My lack-of-arthritis self is really enjoying this project. I haven’t stitched like this since I was, um, a lot younger than I am now. Here’s March. Same as the past couple months with col...
We start off with the Seattle MQG sew-in. Always a nice time, though not the place to go if you want to actually sew We tend to talk. A lot. Due to my incredible dislike of hauling my machine anywher...
I really need another Leap Day. Perhaps we can have 30 days? Next time, ok? So I actually finished this weeks ago. It then went into the to-do pile for pictures and posting. Where it sat. For the nex...
The last time I showed a full-out picture of scrap buckets was after sorting them so I could sew up the projects for Scrap Republic. While I didn’t write the book just to get rid of scraps, I m...
I hope all your husbands clean the toilets today! Heart made with my lovely and over-used Kona Chips.
This quilt goes way back in time. The lovely Allie from Robert Kaufman sent the kit and pattern my way and it arrived at the house the day the movers started packing the truck (serious torture, eh?)....
Is coming…
Statement from Amy Marson (Publisher, C&T Publishing) As Emily mentions below C&T Publishing has agreed to take on an education initiative encouraging our authors to give attribution to fabri...
Last summer I got the Celiac Disease label slapped on me (along with some other allergies). It sucks, but it’s deal-with-able, so I deal with it. The suckier part is the at least 5 years (? may...
Over at Stitched in Color. Plus, you can read all about me and my insanity. Good stuff. Pivot in Scraps
My January block. (Post and pattern here.) I kept the color scheme basically the same but used ones that will match my setting pieces and theme. I can’t wait until next month…
