Breast cancer awareness quilt

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

There was a quilt pattern I saw made up of pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness. I haven’t found the one I was looking for, but I did find this one:

Fat Quarters

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

When I started quilting, I didn’t see the point of fat quarters. How could you buy so little of a fabric you loved???? I’m not sure what I was thinking. Fat quarters are wonderful – read cheaper. 

Browsing around the other day, I found a blog with a list of fat quarter blogs. I think I’ll make a mouse pad. The purse is adorable, plus the tissue holders! There are way too many to pick from. I’m hoping maybe I’ll have enough in scraps to make some of the smaller things.

Quick Quilts Issue

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

 

After months of saying their new website was going to be launched soon, McCall’s Quick Quilts finally did launch their new site. Much better design.

 

Bad part is that I’m not all that crazy about any of the patterns. I think I may just skip this issue.

Pillows!! I have way too many books on making pillows. Patterns coming out of my ears! For once I should stop collecting and start making. 

Check out this pillow by LucyKate:

Now that’s what I want to be to do.
