A Stack Of Strips

Posted on January 31, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

This is one of those weeks when it’s hard to find the energy to do much of anything after 7:00 pm.  It’s rained I don’t know how many days in a row and I just want to sleep.  It was … Continue reading →

Stash Bits

Posted on January 27, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

There was fabric in this week, but no idea how much.  I tore apart most of the blazer and I’ll felt it this afternoon.  Once it shrinks I’ll count it as fabric in.  I’ve never felted before, and I have … Continue reading →

Gluten Free Apple Muffins

Posted on January 26, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

Sometimes I get food cravings for unusual things or just something different from what I usually eat.  That’s why I bought Hodgson Mill Apple Cinnamon Muffin Mix.  For once I made the mix within a week of buying it.  I … Continue reading →

Posted on January 24, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I made the trip to Goodwill on Sunday to look for a white wool anything that I could felt and use in the Shabby Fabrics Mystery BOM.  I was lucky enough to find this pale cream blazer.   I started … Continue reading →

Posted on January 20, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I thought for sure I’d have a bust this week with the class yesterday.  A little disappointing that it wasn’t meant to be, but now I can look forward to a bust later. I went through my stash and the … Continue reading →

Posted on January 19, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I’ve been looking forward to going to quilt guild all week just to have some fun and get away from the day job and housework.  I almost didn’t go because monster boy looked so bad when he woke up.  I … Continue reading →

Tough Week

Posted on January 17, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

We’re about done with this winter at our house. Monster boy is now on round three of the crud.  That meant another trip to the doctor today, who agreed my son was worse than when I brought him in last … Continue reading →

Owning The Short List

Posted on January 13, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

Another boring stash report with no fabric in or out this week. I finished a scrubbie, but I never counted the netting as fabric in when I bought it. Netting isn’t really fabric, which is probably why I didn’t count … Continue reading →

Gluten Free Snacking

Posted on January 12, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I think it’s time for another gluten-free food review. I continue to try new items, but I haven’t done a review in ages. I tried two different “bar” products, just for the heck of it. First was the Soyjoy soy … Continue reading →

Two Down

Posted on January 10, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I cut out the rest of the circles and fused them to the Circles and Curves top last night.   It looks a little bland to me, but I envision the quilting adding a lot to the top.  Not sure … Continue reading →
