After the trip to Seattle, the guilt overcame me & I got caught up on my bee blocks thru August.
For PTQB, Katie sent vintage sheets, a solid, and the Amy Butler rose buds, requesting blocks similar to Oh Frannson!’s Mod Sample Quiltalong.

Also PTQB, Jody requested Drunk Love blocks to be made into a quilt for [...]

My bro came out to visit for a week & left on Saturday, July 24th.  On my way back from dropping him @ the airport, I parked the car and headed to the Long Beach quilt show.  What really struck me this year was the lack of exhibit quilts – wasn’t nearly the same number [...]

Like all good procrastinators, I waited until the last minute (or last few days) to torture myself with hand-sewing the binding on my latest quilt.
I actually received my quilt back from Margaret a couple of weeks ago, but let other things get in the way (like watching Glee).

Here’s a detail of her quilting – I [...]

This was supposed to be a birthday present for my mom…then March came & went, as did April.  So then I was going to divert it as a Mother’s Day present.  But seeing as how she’s going to get it right before Father’s Day, it’s officially become a “Just Because” present.

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 [...]

Are you out there??
So I can’t seem to get in contact w/my SMS giveaway winner, so if I don’t hear anything in the next couple of days, I’ll draw another name out of the hat.  Cuz there are a lotta people that were interested in the Hope Valley fabrics, and I want to make sure [...]

…I’m so boring, I’m so boring, you might die…
Sew-jo has been gone for weeks, I’m behind on some bee blocks, and all I’ve done in my free time is read.
*sigh*
But I need to get my groove back – I have to sew a binding for a quilt to give to a friend as a wedding [...]

Jacquie (yes, that Jacquie) just posted the blocks she made for me for my month of PTQB.  LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

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 [...]

I played catch-up on my PTQB blocks this past weekend… I was most horribly tardy on Sandy’s block for March – the dreaded cathedral window:

Ultimate verdict – one block wasn’t so bad to make…but I would never do an entire quilt this way.
Colleen requested some simple half-square triangles for April:

Easy peasy and a [...]
