Crazy Shortcake
Yesterday evening I cut, pressed, layered and pinned my quilt squares. (about 2½ hours) This afternoon I added the decorative stitching (also about 2½ hours).

Purple Quilt
I am not very good at naming quilts, and this is going to belong to someone else anyway**, so I’ve been calling these my purple squares and now they are the ‘purple quilt’. I finished it up last night and am shipping it out today, to be in the quilt auction for Catholic Social Services…

Color
Quilts are all about texture and color, but so are a lot of other things. I read webs and blogs daily and today Seth Godin posted a link to a web designer who has put up a page of suggested color groupings. These are color themes that the company suggests for web sites but as…

Fabric Postcard from a Friend
I did a small favor for the list-owner of Stashbusters on Yahoo! and look what she sent me!!! A fabric postcard! It is sooooooo cool 🙂 I have a stash of Peltex and Timtex and I just might have to try making a few of these. My bin of tiny scraps would be perfect for…
