I took the pieces with me to Sew Day on a whim and actually made some progress. Mary C helped me to measure my head to confirm I actually have a teen head. I do! Once that was established, which I admit was holding me back from making progress, I decided to cut out the ..read more

I finished all the blocks for the Ombre Weave and think I will change the layout to highlight more of the Os that show up in the design. The red I added looks good. The piece overall isn’t as depressing as it was before ..read more

I sent two EPP Balls to a friend from work. She just had a new baby, but also has a 2 year old. I wasn’t planning on sending an EPP ball to them, but they are so easy to make and seem to be a popular gift that I just sent them along. The two ..read more

I was startled a week or so ago when I passed by a restaurant advertising its new hours. The sign read 9 – 11…. and that is all I saw. I had to stop and read the whole sign. I was upset that whomever put the sign up didn’t consider how it would look. I ..read more

I was able to look at all the Ombre Weave blocks on the design wall. I was somewhat surprised at how much brown and beige there was in the roll I bought. I never really cataloged the colors, but I always thought it was all the colors. Now I realize there are some significant hues ..read more

Many of the donation blocks I made in August went towards the bones of this quilt. I really like these QST quilts and think I want to try one without the striped fabric. I didn’t have enough of any one stripe, so I used two different kinds ..read more
