Posted on September 30, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

I can’t believe we’re talking October already.  That means the holidays are just around the corner.  Definitely not ready to talk about the holidays yet. With the new month comes the new Short List.  I finished one of the two … Continue reading →

I didn’t buy or use any fabric last week.  I made a couple more blocks from the charity kit, which was the full extent of my sewing.   To see what everyone else accomplished last week, whether sewing or buying, … Continue reading →

Posted on September 26, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

At Saturday’s quilt guild an industrious member made quilt kits and put them on the charity table for people like me that can barely make time to sew.  I took one (of course), thinking I could do some mindless sewing … Continue reading →

Posted on September 19, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

  Not quite, but almost. I’ve decided the only sewing I have time for is handwork, so I dug out a project from days gone by.  I believe this is block #14.   It’s time to admit that my life … Continue reading →

No fabric in or out last week. Most my time went to setting up for another round of selling mom’s stuff.  I got rid of some bulky items that would have been hard to store, which made me happy.  So … Continue reading →

Persevering

Posted on September 13, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

In spite of yet another incredibly crappy week, I finished a project on the Short List. I’m thrilled that something leaves the list AND I get to start a new handwork project.  It doesn’t get any better than that. I’ve … Continue reading →

A Little Paint Makes a Difference

Posted on September 8, 2013 by quiltpaintcreate

  I spruced up the butterfly and painted the places where the white background showed through with green.  I thought the white might bother me once I finished quilting and it would be harder to fix later.  Can you see … Continue reading →

I finished the largest sections of the Christmas bow, including all the beading.   I moved on to the smaller sections.  I’m making progress by stitching on it in the morning before work.  I kill five minutes here, ten minutes … Continue reading →
