Another month has gone by, time to check in with our efforts to use up the fabric in our stashes. To play, just keep track of what comes in and what goes out each month. There is no judgement when the sale table calls, an adorable print shows up in the quilt shop, a vendor’s …

Quilty Chat
Earlier this week, I had some quality sewing time, and made good progress on the Project Linus quilt on the longarm. I finished the quilting, and removed it from the frame. The quilting is a cloud pantograph in navy blue Signature cotton thread. I added a label to the back. Several readers asked last week …
The Colors of August
What are the colors of August? It is the only month that doesn't really have an identity, aside from being hot, or having the dog days to endure.

Spring Floral and McTavish Monday
I made progress on two things this past week. I had decided to do some McTavishing on the Spring Floral quilt, but after viewing the video, reading through the book, and viewing the DVD, I decided that would be too dense for what I had in mind. So, I quilted up the Spring Floral freehand …
The Scrap Basket
How many scraps of material have you saved? Do you have uneven pieces from cutting, partial yard leftovers, old clothes you can’t stand to give away because of the fabric or a pretty embroidery, bits and pieces of this and that? Do you buy 4 yards of fabric when the pattern calls for 3? “I’m …
