Stash and UFO Combo Report

Posted on September 30, 2012 by quiltpaintcreate

Posted on September 9, 2012 by quiltpaintcreate

Gluten Free One Time Buys

Posted on September 7, 2012 by quiltpaintcreate

I’ve had a good run with trying and liking new products.  I think the manufacturers have a clue now, but here and there they still miss. Before I start in on why I won’t buy these two products again, I … Continue reading →

One Corner To Go

Posted on September 3, 2012 by quiltpaintcreate

I love three-day weekends with no travel plans because I have time to sew.  The quilt is still in four sections with only one small corner of piecing left.    The kit calls for one plain border with each side … Continue reading →

September UFO

Posted on September 1, 2012 by quiltpaintcreate
