A blast from the past! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I have learned something about myself. Actually, I've known it for some time now. I can get up and work like mad all day. But if I have an interruption to my schedule, I'm a zombie for the rest of the day. Case in point, I had a trunk show yesterday morning, which went very well and was not far from home. Hello to all the members of the Busy Hands Quilt Guild in Cambridge.

Then I got home in time to join the Monday Sewing Group for a bit, and well, instead of logging off at the ...

UFO Day from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Our UFO club is pretty simple. You signed up and paid some money. Each month you attend the meeting (or participate via e-mail) if you're too far away. You pick a UFO and you make a commitment (which I diligently record in my new book) and you better have the homework done for the following month.

We got off to a rocky start in January because of the weather. But we had great attendance this past month and NO money so far has gone to the kitty. Yikes - we might be having water and crackers for our lunch in ...

My Rainbow Garden from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

This year, I decided to do something a bit different for one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts. Each month I made various blocks that represent things found in my garden in the designated color. I love seeing all these fun designs but I have never wanted a whole quilt made with the various block.

So this way, I had the joy of making each block and putting them all together into a fun quilt.

I enjoyed searching the internet for each block design. And many, I simply designed using graph paper and a pencil.

Some of my favorite blocs ...

End of the Garden Season from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I don't have a finished quilt to share this week but I did finish up my Rainbow Scrap Challenge garden quilt top.

Sorry about the glaring sunlight in the upper corner. There is only one spot in my fence that I can get a photo and I had to wait all day for the sun to pass. And I couldn't wait any longer to get this post written. (I am not gonna complain too much - it was a beautiful fall day!)

I had a lot of fun making the blocks for this quilt throughout the year. Once a ...

Oh Scrap! : October RSC Blocks from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

It is time to pull out those dark scraps for October's RSC blocks. I didn't used to like these colors in my rainbow quilts but I have grown to appreciate them - especially brown. It's warm color really blends well with all of the other colors.

I finished up my ten Bright Hope blocks in brown. I don't have any plans to make them in black but I might make some in gray - I need to think about what size I want this quilt to be.

So far I only have forty of these 6" blocks so ...
