Despite the threat of flash floods and mudslides, my best friend and I made it safely to the Leavenworth Quilt Show. It is the first quilt show I'd ever been to and although we were much younger than anyone else there, it was really fun. This was the view as we walked in. I would say there were around 150 quilts displayed. Although many of the quilts there were not my personal taste, they were all beautifully made and easy to appreciate. The majority of the quilts were art quilts or … [Read more...]
WIP Wednesday: Summer Sickness
Hey buddies. So I skipped last Wednesday's post because I wasn't feeling well and didn't want to follow up my photography post with a bunch of questionable-at-best iphone progress pics. But I'm still feeling bleh, so I'm going to put my pride aside for the sake of documentation :) First up is my EPP project.

Photographing Fabric – Depth of Field
I was so excited to read that Plum and June are hosting a new monthly Quilt Photography Workshop linkup! It's a great way to get a monthly challenge and continue to improve on my photography skills.

I can't think of a better morning than taking some fabric photos. This is my pull for my picnic game … [Read more...]

Perhaps it's the promise of fall and thoughts chilly nights under a quilt (or ten!) that has brought on this onslaught of inspiration. Here are a few of my current projects and a few more that I'm starting this week: Picnic Quilt If you saw my weekend post, you got a sneak peak of my scrabble block! If you ever want a taste of losing it, sew together 225 1.5-inch squares into a board game layout. I have been not as … [Read more...]
Weekend: In Progress
It’s a Wrap! Baby D Chevron Quilt Finish
I wasn't kidding on Wednesday when I said this quilt was going to have glamour shots taken. I almost wish I could have staged an amazing 80s glamour set, but this quilt is a bit too modern for that kind of foolishness. There is something about quilts outdoors that gets me everytime... throw in an old building and a field of long grass and I'm basically never leaving. And what fun is a quilt photoshoot without a dog photo-bomb?! … [Read more...]
