Episode 45 – MQG!!!

pq — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 22:04:19 +0000

I’m joining up with the Modern Quilt guild! A chapter just started here in Akron. The first meeting was this past week and it has some definite promise.

Don’t worry, I haven’t abandoned my traditional guild. I’m still a member though I haven’t attended in some time. I actually miss going, it just hasn’t worked out because of my crazy sleep/exercise schedule in the winter.

In this episode I also discussed my anemic wardrobe. Do you have suggestions for must-have pieces for effective mixing and matching?

Episode 44 – Happy Quilting day!!

pq — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 21:25:03 +0000

Today (3/17) is national quilting day! Oh ya, and Saint Patrick’s day, too.

You could hop on over to The Quilt Show to watch free episodes of the show and also to enter a contest for a new Bernina 550. Wouldn’t it be awesome to win that for NQD? (Free shows are available 3/17-3/18/2012.)

In this episode I also talked about a book I just got – “Quilts from the House of Tula Pink – 20 Fabric Projects to make, use and love”.

So what do you think about swapping out one of the charity quilts (replacing it with a quilt I would make from blocks I already have) so that I can keep it? Does that break the spirit of the challenge? Leave me a comment to tell me what you think!

Episode 36 – catch up: not the condiment

pq — Sat, 28 May 2011 12:15:55 +0000

Here is a pic of my crafty thrifting haul. The towel got all wrinkled when I washed it. I can’t imagine it has never been washed before so I can only assume that is normal. Did people iron their kitchen towels back in the day?

$4.60 thrifting haul

Birthday booty (or is it bootie? I’m talking about pirate booty not butt booty):

Episode #34 – Reviews & Stuff

pq — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 00:59:46 +0000

Today I reviewed two books

Built By Wendy Dresses (Wendy Mullin) and

Fresh Quilting – Fearless Color, Design & Inspiration (Malka Dubrawsky).

Both are awesome books! Loved ‘em. I am thinking of using the techniques in Wendy’s book to make The Girl a dress. She asked for a new one a few days ago.

Hey – ‘So we added Chickens’ – you won the Owl Quilt kit giveaway! I’ll be contacting you for your snail mail address. Congratulations!!

I also talked about the kid-size charity quilt challenge that I am issuing myself. You can read more about it here.
