Posted on February 26, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I received my first gift from my Mystery Muse on Saturday. The poem is original according to the note on the back. I’m always amazed at how different the gifts are each year, although I do see a trend toward … Continue reading →

Posted on February 23, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

Getting Through A Sunday

Posted on February 17, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

No change in the stash this week.  I have five of the eight rows of what I’m now calling “Making Tracks” sewn together.  No plans to post another picture until the top is all sewn together.  Feels like there’s a … Continue reading →

Making Tracks

Posted on February 16, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I arranged all the blocks last night and piled them up for sewing.  I can’t say I cared much for it at first.  I rearranged the blocks about a zillion times and ended up with a design I could live … Continue reading →

Stash Report 2/10/2013

Posted on February 10, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

From A To B

Posted on February 6, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I finished making all of Block A and pressed them.  I think a WOC fabric will work well for the background.  I pressed it this morning before work so I could start cutting tonight.   Block B is simpler and … Continue reading →

Felting Results

Posted on February 3, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

The blazer felted up nicely, although I noticed it didn’t come clean around the cuffs. I can just cut that part off or work around it.  I ended up with more than a half yard of felted wool, but less … Continue reading →

February Short List

Posted on February 2, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I had a lot of success with the short list in January.  I finished three of the original four tasks, added four more, and finished one of the second four.  My list for February consists of the one item remaining … Continue reading →
