January Short List

Posted on December 30, 2012 by quiltpaintcreate

No fabric in or out last week. I didn’t have the energy to go to the quilt shop sale, and I didn’t need anything. I’m probably better off for that. The numbers for the year are OK. I would have … Continue reading →

Posted on December 28, 2012 by quiltpaintcreate

I don’t know what it’s like where you live, but around here everyone is sick. There are a couple different bugs going around. Some people have the headache/nausea thing going, while others have the cough/congestion version. I can’t remember a … Continue reading →

Around the Blocks

Posted on December 19, 2012 by quiltpaintcreate

I’d Rather Be Sewing

Posted on December 13, 2012 by quiltpaintcreate

This is what took up most of the last two nights.   I didn’t find all of the ornaments.  Putting them in several boxes must have seemed like a good idea when we took the tree down last year, but … Continue reading →

Posted on December 9, 2012 by quiltpaintcreate

What is it about the holidays?  This week went so fast.  I know I was busy, but I have no idea where the time went.  I pinned some blocks on the still nameless quilt and worked on the Fig Tree … Continue reading →

Short List Update

Posted on December 6, 2012 by quiltpaintcreate
