Six Months Later

Posted on July 28, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

No fabric bought or used this week, but not because I didn’t try. After the no quilt shop fiasco I decided to start a handwork project.  It was either that or go crazy bored.  Getting a start on anything handwork … Continue reading →

Shopless

Posted on July 27, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

It rained the first two days of our vacation and part of the third.  We usually get lucky and only have one day with rain, but this year it wasn’t meant to be.  With so much time indoors I finished … Continue reading →

Books for the Road

Posted on July 21, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

It turned into another hectic mess of a week.  That combined with oppressive heat did not a productive week make.  I didn’t use or buy any fabric this week. I have some time off now, so if I don’t sew … Continue reading →

No fabric in or out this week.  I had big plans to sew yesterday, but the past week caught up to me and I slept the day away.  I must have needed it. I pulled some fabrics for the next … Continue reading →

Everything That Could Go Wrong…

Posted on July 13, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I took a mid-week trip to my mom’s house to get some service people in to fix things.  Some things are easier to schedule during the week.  It seemed like a good idea at the time. I even left the … Continue reading →

In Memory of Diz

Posted on July 10, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

When I was in college I waited tables at a truck stop to pay the bills.  Not long after I started working there, several more waitresses were hired.  I became good friends with one of them.  Her and her husband … Continue reading →

Stash Report 7/7/13

Posted on July 7, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

No fabric used or purchased this week.  I’m pleased to have added less than two yards of fabric so far this year.  I’d like a higher “used” number, but that will come. The strips on Confetti Breeze are all sewn … Continue reading →

Breezy Fourth

Posted on July 5, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

  The nice thing about mid-week holidays is that I don’t have to spend five or six hours in the car going someplace.  I had a chance to catch up on a lot of small things, including some sewing.   … Continue reading →

July Short List

Posted on July 3, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I completed one item on the June short list.  I can live with that since I finished some non-quilting projects that I’ve wanted to get done for a long time.  I find my quilting goes better when the other areas … Continue reading →
