I took forever to decide on a plan, then had to wait for the fabric I wanted to arrive, then held off posting pictures until I knew the idea would work. But, finally, a sneak preview of my Doll Quilt Swap creation. This is where those cute little blocks are ending up, along with some [...]

One more
Posted in Pillows, tagged patchwork, pillow on July 30, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Another pillow from the pink and orange… Lately I’ve be doing this more – using the scraps from one project to go right into a smaller coordinating project (or two), bypassing the scrap bin altogether. (Anyone else do that?) And in classic patchwork make-it-work style, I stumbled onto this bracket/corner design because I was playing [...]
Possibly the perfect summer meal…
Posted in Food, tagged food, local, summer on July 29, 2010 | 2 Comments »
In my humble opinion, this is quite possibly the perfect summer supper. No fuss, no cooking,no heating up the kitchen . Just good local, seasonal ingredients, slice and drizzle with olive oil. What are your favorite summer meals?
Favorite quilting

When I made this little pillow I didn’t have to think long to decide on the quilting pattern. This little squared off spiral is probably my favorite technique, especially for small projects that turn easily. So, I use it alot: Do you have fall back quilting patterns that you always turn to? (My patchwork pillow)
Monday commute
Posted in CSA on July 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I work full time in an office, and, like my job, but well, Monday’s are no one’s favorite days. But this is how my Mondays end: Flowers in the cupholder (and dirt on my hands from the great “early-tomato-easter-egg-hunt” aka Pick Your Own at the CSA) The flowers are always gorgeous, but somehow I particularly appreciate [...]
And a pillow

While I had the pink and orange fabrics out, I made a simple little patchwork pillow. And I foresee more orange projects in my future…
Justifying…
Posted in Fabric on July 25, 2010 | 5 Comments »
This is the danger of shopping online, I was hunting for a particular fabric for my Doll Quilt Swap project — and since I was already paying the shipping, and I’d been eyeing Tufted Tweets for months, added a bunch more fabric to the order and told myself it was completely justified. :)
My new favorite hand-project
Posted in WorksInProgress on July 24, 2010 | 8 Comments »
I haven’t jumped on the hexagon bandwagon, at at this rate, I may never, I’m enjoying these little secret garden blocks too much, to pick up another hand project. They’re a variation on cathedral windows. You start with the same folded background block, but you tuck the contrast fabric under the flaps of the background block [...]
Giving Thanks
Posted in Food, Local on July 23, 2010 | 2 Comments »
This is less than my full farm share this week (there’s also cucumbers and zucchini and green garlic, and I bought some local peaches and my favorite local bread while I was at it). I’m all for cornucopias and Thanksgiving in November, but when, all of a sudden we go from early season greens to a burst [...]
Quilt Photography
Posted in Quilts on July 22, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I love photography, I love quilts so quilt-y photography should be perfect, but the truth is photographing quilts can be kind of a pain. Not always, but it’s definitely not the easiest photography I’ve done. Sometimes, the light is right and the quilt is photogenic and the stars align and it all works out easily, [...]
