Crazy Quilt Course Task #7

Posted on February 10, 2021 by quiltpaintcreate

Another task done. This one stitched up quicker because I didn’t have to search for my supplies, there was less stitching and I was familiar with the stitches. The purple curve is done with a boatload of very tiny chain … Continue reading →

Sunday Stash January 24, 2021

Posted on January 24, 2021 by quiltpaintcreate

Little involving fabric happened here this week. I managed to get a freak infection that both blurred my vision and made sitting anywhere near a light extremely uncomfortable, all while feeling fine. Things are returning to normal, but there were … Continue reading →
