Episode 46 – Mollie Makes

pq — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:50:32 +0000

Last week I took The Girl to JoAnn’s to get some fabric to make her stuffed animal vision: a caterpillar that converts to a butterfly. While we were there I was seduced by the siren call of a magazine: Mollie Makes. In spite of the $11.99 price tag and the sad lack of 40% off coupon it landed in my cart and I brought it home.

This is the cover that wooed me:

Aren’t those mice just super adorable? In another time I would have eagerly gotten down to making up some mice but these days it is extremely hard to turn my head from quilting.

Episode 44 – Happy Quilting day!!

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”.

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.

Episode 19 – Block Tool

pq — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 23:52:45 +0000

In this episode, I talked about:

The Modern Quilt Guild. I’ve seen it mentioned on Sew Mama Sew several times and meant to bring it up. Alert listener Carlyn reminded me about it. Are there any Modern Quilt Guild members listening? Send me an email or leave a comment if you are a member. I’d love to hear what it is like.
The Ladies’ Art Company Block Tool by Connie Chunn. What an awesome reference! It has a great variety of blocks and gives cutting sizes for up to 5 different block sizes.
The Quilter’s Newsletter had two patterns that I loved this month.

Have a listen!
