All the Things from Quilt Paint Create

This week has been a lot of creative odds and ends.

I signed up for a year of Craftsy for $0.75. No, that’s not a typo. I’ve had memberships before, maybe three or more years ago. The promotion came through a YouTube ad but doesn’t come up on the website. I don’t know when the offer expires.

I also finished one of those quick stash using projects.

I started the 21-day Sewing Room Declutter Challenge run by Karen Brown at Just Get It Done Quilts. Since I only have weekends to work on it, it ...

A Gorgeous Red Basket on Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Welcome to week 440 of Free Motion Mavericks. I hope that you've had a good week. I haven't done much until yesterday but I now have a pretty red basket to share with you.

Making A Gorgeous Red Basket

When I made the microwave fabric bowls in March for the Table Scraps Challenge, I promised one to a friend who said that they were so pretty that she wouldn't use it in the microwave because they might get dirty. Rather, she would use it as a bowl or holder. So, remembering this, I decided to make a ...

Conversations Guest Book on Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Welcome to week 384 of Free Motion Mavericks. I'm sorry that I'm a couple of days early, but I will run it until next Tuesday night. The last couple of weeks have mostly been about the Conversations exhibition and today is not an exception. I'm not getting ahead on my son's Version 2.0 quilt - but he's been very understanding

300^th Linking up Party

Motion Mavericks on Thursday, 5 June 2014, to fill the void after Leah Day stopped hosting her Free Motion Friday. I had a wonderful trip down memory lane going through all of the posts to get to the first, original Free Motion Mavericks post.

I discovered the Free Motion Mavericks linking party in March of 2015, at Muv's 36^th post. I was free motion quilting (FMQ) a wholecloth quilt based on ...

Open Letter to My Online Quilting Students… from Christa Quilts

Dear Valued Student:

I deeply and sincerely apologize if you have sought out my quilting advice or asked for help in an online teaching platform and never received a response from me. Due to this being completely out of my control, I am just now discovering hundreds of comments, questions, and conversations addressed to me that I never received until now (March 10, 2020). Many of these unanswered replies have kept you waiting for 1-2 years or even longer.

As I wade through a mountain of unanswered queries, I ache for those of you who simply thought I wasn’t ...

Learning to make a fabric basket from Quilting & Learning

I took some time to play this week. Since I've signed up to Bluprint (Craftsy) for the next year, I thought that I should actually make something. So here is my experience making a basket from Christina Cameli's Free-Motion Quilted Gifts course.

My first FMQ fabric basket

This is what Christina's basket looks like. Isn't it gorgeous?

Christina Cameli's Free-Motion Quilted basket

As you can see, my basket is shorter and not as firm. I learned a lot though and had fun making it

Four FOs and Two WIPs from Sew Simple Life

I have been knitting every chance I get, which isn't often since I have four kids and work full time. I am very excited about my first finish, which is the Reyna Shawl I was working on (free pattern on Ravelry here). This was my first shawl, and it's a Christmas gift, which I am very happy that I have finished on time. The yarn is Cloudborn Superwash Merino. I love it, its soooo super soft.

Next I started and finished not one but TWO winter hats for my kids. I bought the pattern on Craftsy here, after ...

Back in the saddle again from Susie Q Quilts

Well, hi there!

Has it really been a year since I last had something to say? I always have something to say but I think I forgot that you would like to hear about.

What have I been up to? New job, ugh, new position at same company, sorta. I don't know what is going at my company and don't' want to guess so that is enough of that.

What have I been up to lately besides remodeling kitchen and loving on grandbaby? Sewing crazy stuff...taking a Craftsy class called Stupendous Stitches taught by Carol Ann Waugh ...

Picture heavy catch up. :o) from Down by the river

http://www.visitcumbria.com/cm/crummock-water/

It has been quite a year with one thing and another and I am afraid my blog has suffered because of it. Thanks to everyone for all the nudges to get posting again!
Things are really looking up now and a lot of loose odds and ends should be resolved soon. :o)
So it's time for a catch up!

It was our Golden Wedding Anniversary in August and on the day itself we just went up to Crummock Water and had a picnic. We have been so fortunate to have had a happy,whole half century together.
