Where The Time Goes

Posted on June 28, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

This has turned into one crazy summer. One of my direct reports at work resigned, giving only two days notice, and was gone by the time the person that is covering her work came back from vacation. I’m still cleaning … Continue reading →

It was one of those weeks at work, which seemed to take up every bit of time and energy I spend on the fun stuff. Today I’m heading out to my mom’s house (more not fun stuff). I have a … Continue reading →

No fabric in or out this week.  My challenge project isn’t far enough along to call it done, but I do have some clothes on him now.   More clothes to come, plus arms and a face.  For the time … Continue reading →

Roc-lon Challenge

Posted on June 8, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

A road trip isn’t complete without a stop at a thrift shop or two.  At my absolute favorite Goodwill in Delaware, Ohio, I bought Sew A Circle Of Friends by Anne McKinney……for $1.   Let me be clear about something.  … Continue reading →

Quilt National 2013

Posted on June 5, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I went to the exhibit with a friend last weekend.  If you live anywhere near Athens, Ohio and you’ve never been to The Dairy Barn, it’s definitely worth a trip. Nothing took my breath away this year, but we both … Continue reading →

The only fabric in this week was the Roc-lon.  I used 1/4 yard making the iPad cover.  The net of all that was 1/8 yard out. We were on the road to Quilt National this weekend.  I didn’t buy any … Continue reading →
