Theme-A-Licious April Update

I'm late posting the April Theme-A-Licious update. It was a crazy month from a personal standpoint and it translated to my lack of stitching. There was a lot of ripping out this month. Some (a fair amount) was due to chart errors and some was due to my own issues (out right corner wave border). Aprils theme was Amazon April - in other words work on BAPs. Here is Ann Dale as of this afternoon.

2012 Miami Valley Quilter’s Guild Show

This weekend my quilt guild, the Miami Valley Quilters’ Guild, held their biannual quilt show. I always look forward to going to the show. We see many of these quilts during the show-and-tell portion of our monthly meetings, but it is such a treat to see them all at once, up close and personal. We have many really talented quilters in our group. I love to examine the beautiful quilting. Absorbing all of the great color combinations is also

Trying out Denim – Again

I thought I would try and work on my mock cathedral quilt but I keep having problems sewing down the denim sides.  Maybe it's the thread that I'm using.  100% cotton.  But, the thread keeps breaking and having to manually thread a need these days in my 40s is near impossible to see.  I swear my vision changes every week. 

Today was no different on the vintage singer.  I test out the sewing on a scrap piece of denim and had a few problems

Bank Holiday?

I hope you are all outside enjoying the beautiful sunshine on this gorgeous Bank Holiday weekend :-)

Me? No, I’ve been working jolly hard. I’ve taken more photos for my pincushion tutorial which has now been re-written and published….maybe that is over stating it a little bit. Well, OK, I’ve put it on Etsy. Everyone was so positive about it when I first posted the tutorial, so I felt duty-bound to do something with it. We all have to earn a crust somehow! I’m also going to list the sewing kit pattern very soon. I know a lot of bloggy
