Here they are! I went with the two-part format because I felt that there was just too much information that I had to cut in order to meet the 10 minute limit for YouTube (not criticizing, just explaining) so: Part One – - -[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiJllrOdrZ4&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0] I would love to know what you think!!

Funky Fuzzy Shortcut Quilt is DONE !
I just love that word – DONE! Whoooo Hoooo! This will be another donation quilt, even though I love it with all my heart, the thought that it might make a person happy and benefit a child is also one of the reasons I love it. BUT, until the CASA auction it is going to [...] Read more »
Stitch in the Ditch Video Dilema
I started quilting a 90″ x 90″quilt on my home sewing machine, and doing a “tutorial documentary” on it. Now I am stuck! I am a long winded teacher (and writer – you have probably noticed) and YouTube, my host of choice for now, allows 10 minute video length. You would think I could get [...] Read more »

Okay, this is just silly! I have been switching these squares around for an hour or more! I am giving up It’s just that the fabrics are so funky that no matter how I move the squares around, it’s always going to make some goofy match-ups. It is going to be a wild quilt! Tell [...] Read more »

Fabric Withdrawal
How long can you go without sewing or quilting? I have not sewn or quilted since mid October! I was starting to think that I was cured. Then it hit. Two days of not sleeping well, feeling out of sorts and then *fabric attack*! It’s worse than an allergy attack I want to touch it, [...] Read more »
Videooooooooooooo
I have been having both fun and absolute total frustration – what a combo! And what can cause that? Either quilting a perfect seam and then finding a pucker on the back (oh, yes that has happened to me many times) or a computer. Heh. So, I bought a video camera that I needed to [...] Read more »
Getting ready for Quilt Market
This is what happens when I am working on quilts…..hehehehe….and I’m not even apologetic about it! Every load of washing (at least I’m washing the dirty clothes!) gets brought up to the living room and then left there. That’s why I have about 7 laundry baskets…this is a lifelong habit and it makes me laugh. [...] Read more »
