I posted about this quilt a few months ago. At the time I thought it was the ugliest quilt ever made. As it turns out, it is the most favorite one I’ve ever made. I went on an Artist’s Retreat to Santa Fe in November, having just finished the top. I showed the blog […]

I picked up this fabric somewhere. I have so much in my stash now that I forget. I’m pretty sure that I bought it at a little boutique fabric store in Salt Lake City. A few fat quarters and some remnants. At first I thought I would cut up some random pieces and mix […]

I have been practicing with my new Free Motion Quilting Foot. I take one fat quarter ( 18″X22″) and make a quilt sandwich and just go for it. I was just messing around but when I filled up the whole square, I thought ” This is almost the size of a pillow” Why not make […]

I bought these two fat quarters in Salt Lake City last summer. Anything with a Paint Horse on it is instantly mine. I’m just glad this time it was only $6.00 worth of fabric. It was speaking to me…… “Pillow Time” A nice little afternoon project on Thanksgiving weekend. “OK guys, I’m going upstairs to […]

I chose to use some black “sashing” to accentuate the blocks. “Sashing” is basically cutting 3″ strips of black fabric scraps and framing the blocks like window panes. It’s a fun and mindless […]

Creative Everyday Challenge Art Everyday Month I feel like a cheater. I bought these wild quilt blocks from my custom quilter. She bought them from her mother, who bought them from a craft sale. I did not pay $20 for them. It was more like $10. I would never have the patience to put […]

After my recent epiphany that quilting is like Canned Soup (artistically speaking, of course, for myself only) I know I can do this myself and it will taste better. I purchased one item. A Bernina Free Hand Quilting Foot for $40. Then I watched a couple videos on YouTube. This is our maiden voyage. I am in […]

In June I blogged about my non-process of putting this quilt together. Fiber Art 10, My Muse Was In The Room I was so excited about it at the time, then I let it sit for three months before I took it to my Custom Quilter to finish. I am in a quandary as to […]
