so, our quilt guild participated in the big modern quilt guild’s michael miller challenge. we received some madrona road fabrics in the blue/yellow/black colors and we were allowed to use any solid or any other madrona road fabric. furthermore, to kick off our guild’s new relationship with senior services, we decided to make wheelchair quilts […]
quilt
twenty twelve review.
thought i would take a few minutes to look back at what went down in 2012, in terms of quilting and sewing and cakery. it’s always fun to see it all laid out in a nice little grid format. it makes me feel like i actually accomplished some things… anyhoooo… here’s the quilts. 1. Front […]

mug rug mania.
ok. not really mania. but, “some mug rugs” doesn’t have the same ring to it. oh. and i promise. this is my last post today. anyhooo… i made this mug rug for isaac’s teacher assistant. the back was these bikes: and this one for his teacher. with little apples clothes on the back: i made […]
zipper pouch swap.
just got home from our triad modern quilt guild christmas party. we had an ornament exchange and a zipper pouch swap. and lots of food and fun, of course. first, i drew kim (the incredible bag lady and amazing quilter) johnson… i was intimidated and at a loss for what to do. i knew she […]

the not-so-top-secret-anymore christmas quilt
