If all things go [...]

Happy Monday, Everyone! I hope you had a good weekend, and am looking forward to another new week. I had mentioned to you that I got a bit carried away when designing a quilt using the Northcott Twilight Garden fabrics. Upon completing the applique of 224 leaves on the quilt top, I [...]

Our fall foliage this year isn’t exactly glorious in appearance. I am speculating that it is due too much rain. You know how each year everyone seems to have their own theory as to why the leaves aren’t turning beautifully as in years past, haha. Nonetheless, we are no lacking in the number of leaves [...]

There is light at the end of the tunnel for those who are crazy enough to stick it out. I have managed to prepare all the leaves (all 224!), and have started applique-ing them on the blocks:
I am on schedule even though my week has been leaf-ily uneventful. That worked out well as I just [...]

ONLY!
Good day, everyone. Thanks for the positive comments on the Northcott’sTwilight Garden fabrics. Some of the brown fabric is being used for making leaves — 224 of them! As you can see, I still have 196 to go from the latest progress picture (note that I had to hand-baste the stems down [...]

Happy Monday, everyone!
I have embarked on my next quilt for The Quilter’s May 2010 issue. This is a rather new experience for me in that I will be working with fabrics tending to be more masculine. These are from Northcott’s “Twilight Garden”:
I am especially in love with this brown:
I will have more pictures of my [...]

The following pictures were taken before the quilt was shipped out. The log cabin after my own heart is one that has sweet flowers blooming all around it:
Of course, I would want cobblestone walkways in the midst of the blooms to welcome my guests:
And cute fanciful fences around my log cabin:
This quilt takes on a [...]

Here is a quick update on how I have quilted the Log Cabin quilt. I decided that [...]

… log cabin quilt! The applique is finally completed (click here for previous post):
The swirl-iness seems to break up the “block-iness” of the log cabin blocks, giving it a swirly twist. I like it!! This quilt is scheduled to appear in the March 2010 issue of “The Quilter“:
And now, onto quilting it I go! This [...]

I thought I would be able to show you snippets of my Log Cabin quilt! I totally under-estimated the time needed to applique on the quilt top. In other words, I am running behind. But here are a couple of sneak peeks of my work in progress:
This quilt is due early next [...]
