Posted on October 13, 2016 by quiltpaintcreate

So far this week hasn’t been very productive. I quilted the other side of the Market Bag, which went better and faster than the first side. I even trimmed away the extra backing and batting. I took a picture of … Continue reading →

No fabric in this week. I finished up the liberated piecing blocks by putting them together in a small quilt the size of a placemat. This piece is my creative play for the month. I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll … Continue reading →

Breakthrough

Posted on August 20, 2016 by quiltpaintcreate

Stash Report And The List

Posted on August 7, 2016 by quiltpaintcreate

No fabric in or out this week. I started quilting the Raffle Block by outlining the appliqué. I will quilt heavily in the open space to make the appliqué stand out. The quilt is small, so maybe a finish next … Continue reading →

August Short List

Posted on August 4, 2016 by quiltpaintcreate

A QAYG Moment

Posted on June 11, 2016 by quiltpaintcreate

I finished quilting the tumblers using a QAYG method. I don’t know that I’d do it this way again. I used something similar to a stitch and flip method, but with really big sections instead of rows. The quilt was … Continue reading →

Loose Ends

Posted on February 6, 2016 by quiltpaintcreate

I’m very excited to have finished the quilting on Bouncing Bubbles. I felt reluctant to post a picture because of all the thread ends, but decided to go for it. I’ll bury them all when I’m hanging out with my … Continue reading →
