It’s Also the 8th Planet

I’ve been admiring Tula Pink’s Neptune line for awhile, but had never purchased any.  I recently saw a really pretty Neptune pattern in August’s American Patchwork and Quilting, and decided it’d make a great Christmas present for a certain somebody.  Apparantly a lot of people thought the same thing because all of a sudden, it’s a bit harder to get ahold [...]

Melly Would be Proud

I’m gettin’ there on the Civil War blocks. 

I’ve got all the squares cut, and 62 of the 9 patch done, just 58 left to go.  For the first 20-something 9 patch I made, I was just using scraps I already had around, so there was a lot of cutting little squares.  But once I received [...]

I love Michael Miller

I got these 2 prints the same time I got all the other fabric I ordered, but I thought they were so cute they deserved their own posting.

I didn’t know I loved Michael Miller so much until recently.  But I do really love him.

This is My Angry Face

Okay folks, rarely, if ever, do I post twice in one day.  But I am hot about something right now, so I felt the need.  Whenever I have a great experience with a crafty/fabric store, I have no problem posting about it and hopefully sending a little business their way.  So I feel it’s fair that it [...]

Shopping

So, I’ve had to do a lot of fabric shopping lately.  With the 3 swaps I’m in, it was inevitable.  It was fun, but I’m having to work the overtime to make up for it.  I showed you all the Halloween fabric I bought for the Spooktacular Swap.  I also had to buy a bunch [...]

Halloween’s Come Early

I know it’s only June, but I’m already working on Halloween.  Ever since I joined Jane’s Spooktacular Halloween Swap, I’ve been all about ghosts, goblins, and 9 patch squares.  Of course I had to do some halloween fabric shopping, and this is what I came up with.

With the exception of the left fabric of the middle picture, [...]

GFG

 

This is the stack of 30’s repro I’m *slowly* working through for my hexagons.  I’ve cut 3 of them so far.  3 of the pink ones.  And I’ve made about 75 hex’s so far.  75 sounds like a lot to me, but I figured up that I need about 3400, so it doesn’t sound like [...]

Got some new fabric in the mail today.  I had been admiring [...]

Thoughtfulness

I recently was fortunate enough to ‘meet’ Cathy No Blog through email.  She was needing some encouragement on a Safari quilt she needed to start, and I was needing encouragement on my hexagon quilt.  Anyway, we’ve been chatting back and forth about crafting, our projects, and life in general. 
A week or so ago while she was out shopping, she found [...]

*Fist Pump in Air*

ah-HA.  I finally did it.  I sat down and made my first hexagon.

And you know what?  It really wasn’t that scary.  So not scary, in fact, that I made a few more.  And then even joined them together.

These are just for practice.  I made them a few different ways.  A few I made with freezer paper [...]
