Carrie Hall's Sampler - Pattern 4 Topeka Rose from ...random bits of everything...
This block was fun and easy to put together...but I'm finding as I go along, I'm running out of good background fabrics. :\ Either I can keep trying to use from my stash, or I'll have to break down and... -
Carrie Hall's Sampler - Pattern 3 from ...random bits of everything...
Pattern three of Carrie Hall's Sampler is actually 2 blocks - Rose of Lemoyne, and Currants. I really enjoyed making these smaller blocks. And please don't notice that one of the berries on the Currants block is actually off the... -
Carrie Hall's Sampler. from ...random bits of everything...
So, lately I've been feeling like I haven't been getting much accomplished. I watched the movie, "Julie and Julia", and decided to come up with a challenge to motivate me. You see, I've been hoarding fabric for years. My mom... -
Yellow Duck, finished. from ...random bits of everything...
So, that quilt that followed me home back in May? With the cardboard box acid stains on it? Turns out, I don't think those were cardboard acid...I had tried soaking it numerous times in just Biz, and no luck. As... -
Blue Moon of Kentucky, finished. from ...random bits of everything...
Finally got the quilting done on this one. :) I always seem to forget how long the pin-basting takes. But it gives me a good chance to go over every inch of the quilt and clip any errant threads. :) -
Handkerchief Butterflies from ...random bits of everything...
So, years ago a lady in my guild made a quilt using vintage handkerchiefs folded and appliqued to look like butterflies. I liked the idea, but never got around to making one. I talked about it, and both of my... -
Blue Moon of Kentucky, cont'd from ...random bits of everything...
The center is all pieced now! Just have to add the borders! :) It's coming along nice and smooth. -
Blue Moon of Kentucky from ...random bits of everything...
This quilt has been in the back of my mind since I first saw in it American Patchwork and Quilting's August 2007 issue. I just loved it. But I had all these other projects going on and just couldn't get... -
New project that followed me home. from ...random bits of everything...
Okay. I really don't know what possesses me to take in other people's UFOs. :\ I think it's a total sickness. But when I saw this poor thing at an estate sale today, with a plastic baggie full of fabric... -
Rose Garden , finished. from ...random bits of everything...
Well, that took longer than I anticipated. This pattern was really fun. I was surprised at how quickly the sashing went together...may recycle this for other block settings in the future. The only problem I ad was the fact that... -
Rose Garden - almost done from ...random bits of everything...
Just a little bit more quilting, and the binding and I can cross this one off the list :) -
Another Rose quilt?! from ...random bits of everything...
You would think that after if took me 3+ years to finish my other Rose themed quilt, that I would shy away from another. But I found this kit + pattern on sale at Cotton Patch Quilt Shoppe. They seems to have something on sale every week.
Any guess on how long this will take me?

Crazy Utilitarian Crib Quilt? from ...random bits of everything...
Picked this little one up at a sale yesterday. $1. It was really stinky. It brightened up quite a bit with a soak in Biz. I'm guessing it's a crib quilt based on the size...but maybe it's just the remnants of one that was bigger once?
-
Secondhand Roses, finally complete... from ...random bits of everything...
Wow. That didn't take long, or anything.. So, a loooong time ago, at an auction, I ended up with eleven appliqued rose blocks. They were NOT what I had been bidding on, but they had been thrown in with what... -
Snow Trails, complete from ...random bits of everything...
I also finished my Snow Trails quilt. I know I said I was going to work on it with my mom, but time slipped away, and I didn't really have time to work on it, as I had left it... -
Civil War Stars from ...random bits of everything...
I have finally finished this one. I bought the quilt the last time I went to the AQS show in Paducah - WAY back in April 2007 from Reproduction Quilts. I've been telling myself lately, "no new projects/fabric purchases/kits until... -
Quilting completed... from ...random bits of everything...
Finally finished the quilting on this one...I never thought I'd complete it. I definitely think this is the last time I attempt a king-sized quilt...it's just too hard to try to machine quilt myself. Part of the delay finishing this... -
Tiding over from ...random bits of everything...
My beloved Janome Memory Craft 3000 is back in the shop. :( Three visits in less than 2 years. Usually when I have stressful situations, it calms me to go fabric shopping...but there's that little thing I told myself recently... -
Liberty Lily from ...random bits of everything...
Finally finished my "Liberty Lily" quilt. This was a kit purchased at Quilted Moose in Gretna, NE. Pattern from the book Women of Grace & Charm by Barb Adams and Alma Allen. -
in which my kitchen earns its keep from ...random bits of everything...
Tonight I decided to make 3 things at once. Normally, I don't cook. I know I get a lot of crap from people teasing me that I don't cook much, but honestly, it's not that I *can't* cook, I just... -
perspective from ...random bits of everything...
sometimes in life you come across old things or memories, and they stop you in your tracks. you think, omg, that used to be such a important person/thing/event in my life. but in hindsight, you see how really foolish/trivial/lame it...
