Posted on November 3, 2016 by quiltpaintcreate

I have no idea where October went and now here comes the holiday season. That means a few extra days off work to spend in the sewing room. We’ll see how that works out. Last month I finished the Market … Continue reading →

Posted on December 3, 2015 by quiltpaintcreate

Last month I changed to an abbreviated Short List with only three categories: Something old (UFO), something new and creative play. I’m much happier with fewer list items and completed three of the four items on the November list. The … Continue reading →

November Short List

Posted on October 30, 2015 by quiltpaintcreate

I did some soul searching about The Short List and decided that it had too many categories. Unless they are small, I seldom work on more than two projects a month and usually only finish one. Three or four projects … Continue reading →

August Short List

Posted on August 1, 2015 by quiltpaintcreate

I made progress in July, but didn’t finish anything. One project needs to switch categories and another needs to go. With a big sigh I’m dropping the Abstract category. Maybe next year. I did finish a UFO last month, but … Continue reading →

July Short List

Posted on July 2, 2015 by quiltpaintcreate

This is easy. I finished nothing in June, so the Short List stands. We had too much going on last month. Add mom going in the hospital and the refrigerator replacement and that killed any possible free time. Some months … Continue reading →

Stash Report And Poking At Things

Posted on May 24, 2015 by quiltpaintcreate

No fabric in or out this week. I’ve been poking around on several different projects. I appliquéd outside yesterday. The weather was perfect, not too hot and a light breeze. We haven’t seen many days like that this year. I … Continue reading →

Stash Out And Short List Finish

I finished the Sunflower Quilt yesterday.  The center looks a little washed out in the picture.  I can never get really good photos when it’s overcast. After auditioning floss to embroider leaf stems I decided I like the quilt better … Continue reading →
