Posted on February 28, 2018 by quiltpaintcreate

The Tiniest Finish

Posted on February 20, 2018 by quiltpaintcreate

It doesn’t get any smaller than this. I finished the bird cross stitch today. It wasn’t even on the February Short List. The fabric measures 4 x 4, which gives you an idea of just how small that bird is. … Continue reading →

No fabric in this week. I went back and looked and I haven’t added fabric since the end of July. I hope I didn’t just jinx myself. I finished the Bouquet quilt for modest usage. It’s only 30” long. Finishing … Continue reading →

The Sale Haul

Posted on February 7, 2018 by quiltpaintcreate

No fabric in – yet. There is a sale at my local quilt shop today and I think I’ll brave the snow to go. The shop rented tables to people to sell stuff they no longer want. The shop also … Continue reading →
