This week I had to catch up on three weeks worth of quilt along instructions after being on vacation. I follow Crazy Mom Quilts’ instructions for week 3. I carefully lined up stacks of 3 strips into 4 rows to make the cutting faster. Then I made my first square by following instructions for week [...]

Quilt Along, part 3

June 16, 2010

According to Crazy Mom Quilts’ directions, I began to sew my printed fabric strips to my solid fabric strips, and pieced together my center square. I was a bit too particular about which fabrics were chosen for the center square. I like how it turned out, however it probably wouldn’t have mattered which fabrics I [...]

Quilt Along, part 2

June 10, 2010

Following along with Crazy Mom Quilts this week, I cut out all of my fabric strips for the quilt top. First, I copied and pasted the directions into a printable form to make things easier. Then, it only took maybe an hour or so to iron and cut everything. I don’t really know, I wasn’t [...]

And On and On

In part 2 of this story, I told you about how Kate became the worship leader for Imagine Me Set Free. I left off with her desire to make some sort of CD for the women at the conference, and wondering how on earth that would happen. All we knew at that point was that [...]

Quilt Along

June 5, 2010

I’m participating in my first “quilt along” with Crazy Mom Quilts. Her quilts are some of the ones that inspired me to start quilting and sewing again. So, I’m not surprised that it is her quilt along that has captured my attention. In preparation this week, I’ve chosen 20 fabrics to use in my quilt. [...]

Digital Designs are back!

May 28, 2010

Finally! Pulley has made it possible to integrate my digital files into my Big Cartel store. This is SO MUCH EASIER than dealing with my own merchant-type store. About a year ago (maybe longer), my (certain “cart” style) site crashed for no apparent reason, and no one could tell me why or how to fix [...]
