I think I can keep sewing… 2 things down off my immediate to do list…
First, I finished my mini-quilt for the Modify Tradition Swap.
And in true “Michelle’s a Ding Dong” fashion, I’m pretty sure I wrote “Modern Tradition Swap” on the back for a label.  D’OH!

But since I can’t seem to get past the Interlaced [...]

Hey folks, I signed up for another swap – the Modify Tradition swap (there’s a little button over on the sidebar).  Have you read the MT blog and checked out the Flickr group?  Pretty good stuff in there!
I just want to make sure my partner has some info about things I like… 

Hey Partner,
In the interest [...]

Time for a VQB update – the 3×6 Bee Q1 went extremely well.  I put in a request for black/gray/white blocks to be used in a small wall hanging for my poor blank wall in my living room.  My group was more than sufficiently up to task, and these are the blocks I received back:

Remember this block I made for Aimee for AQB2?

Well, I decided the Interlaced Star was going to be my block for the 3×6 Bee.  After a tiny bit of trial & error, I figured out it was more helpful to make via paper piecing – it really helps eliminate a lot of the distortion caused [...]

So the Doll Quilt Swap is a bit of a rollercoaster ride…  Last week, I had speculated my quilt was lost in the mail…turns out my partner was a bit lost herself – as in, my swap mama lost contact with her and declared her MIA. 
Thankfully, the group is super organized, and my mama had [...]

It’s been a week since I sent off my mini for the Doll Quilt Swap #8.  I haven’t heard from my partner yet whether they liked it…or even received it.  That person will get to me in due time, I suppose.  I haven’t received mine either – the post office better not have screwed anything [...]

Time for an update on the virtual quilting bee blocks I’ve done.
I’m not sure I’ve mentioned on this blog that I’m in a Facebook-based VQB, which is a refreshing change from Flickr, because I can upload a whole bunch of photos without having to worry about that 200 free photo limit.  Anyway, that group is [...]

So hopefully by now, you’ve seen my little inspiration mosaic I’ve posted here on this blog and in the Flickr pool.  And hopefully you’ve been browsing thru this lil ol blog of mine, and are getting a sense of what I like.  I apologize for all of the house nonsense, but it’s pretty much consumed [...]

Michelle and I are doing a private owl 9-patch block exchange…and we’re both taking our sweet ol’ time with it (or maybe it’s just me).  But I’m getting there, and may be done this week, but I think work will get in the way (in fact, I’m blogging 3 posts on Sunday night, and letting [...]

Beth/ModernJax is hosting… 
6 or 12 of Oh Fransson!’s scrappy hedgerow blocks…plus an extra for a charity quilt, if you feel so inclined.

Beth – I want one of your blocks!
Christmas is (by far) my favorite holiday, but I don’t have a throw quilt or anything yet in my pile of decorations.  I’m not a [...]
