Hi quilters! This is quilt number two of my "ten quilts by December" challenge and I loved working with these colors! Peach is a color I rarely use and now I wonder why? It's kind of delicious looking. I kept thinking about ice cream and cobbler and all things that are sweet and creamy the whole time I worked on it. I have the same reaction to Christmas fabrics but there's more Allspice involved..lol.. Anyway, my co-worker has a 1930's theme for her nursery so who better to show up for…

So friends, I lost my brother Phil this past July. Super sad but at his funeral I got to see a bunch of family I should definitely see more often. My nieces and nephews (Phil had no children) all commented on how much they love the quilts I post on facebook. I was in the process of designing a quilt for Phil because I knew he was becoming ill....I just didn't make it soon enough. I guess because I'm a girl I made my sister's quilts and their daughters quilts first intending to get to my…

Hi Karen just here to introduce myself and welcome you to MQP. Glad you enjoy the Zebra a few gals here said they were going to Lancaster for the quilt show as one took a picture and sent it to me. It looked great!
Some times we are not sure where to visit on this site but I wanted to let you know that I have a group of gals and I that are doing several different quilts the Blooming Nine and the Jewel Box quilts. We are posting pictures with our choices of fabrics and progress. Carla Walton has done several of the Blooming Nine so she is our administrator. Come on over to view what we are doing at http://myquiltplace.com/group/batik-strip-swap/forum/topics/projects-and-pictures?xg_source=activity.
To do the Jewel Box we have a Batik Strip Swap going on and we are using those strips for the Jewel Box. We just started a Charm Square Swap of either a Batik or 100% cotton at http://myquiltplace.com/group/charm-square-swap?xg_source=activity today to use with our Jewel Box Quilt project. Just come on over to join and then you can decide if you want to swap or just do the quilt projects.
I'll have a Easter fq swap coming up soon gf....hope to see you in it... :o)
I've done a nice wedding ring quilt for my daughter 7 yr. ago and never got a picture of it. It's still beautiful & used daily. Maybe I should borrow it for a day & get photo.The pattern wasn't as hard as the old-fashioned template one, you do a little bit of strip piecing, and no applique. (But you DO have to sew in those melon-shaped pieces to centers.) Not a beginner's quilt, but definitely worth the learning curve. Maybe I'll do a new one with a tutorial for next yr.'s fair, (or the yr. after).
I'm glad you've found something on my website worth reading! I really enjoy what I do and am blessed to be able to share it with others.
Hi Karen....do u live in TN? This is so exciting meeting people who live in your state..
Thank you Karen for accepting my friend request. I look forward to swaps.
hi Karen, I loved reading your entry on June 5 about "Hoarding". I've been trying to cleanup my hoarding/packratting of quilting supplies, esp. fabrics, and other crafts. I need to stop going shopping and go through my STASH, use what I have. I got into the habit of buying because its a GREAT SALE, GREAT PRICE, and now my closet is overflowing out the door. I need help, encouragement, advice, etc. Thank you for your article, love all your quilt creations!
beautiful quilts!!!
Hi, Karen, Thanks for checking out my new websitewww.quiltasdesired.co (soon to be .com) and my Facebook page at Quilt As Desired. I waited two years to get the website, and I am so excited! If you are just looking into a brand new website, and you don't have a lot of experience, but want to customize, I got the .co one at Vistaprint. In one single day, I chose a logo, designed business cards, and got the website up using the same designs. It is a bit slow to update, but very user friendly and not enormously expensive. You can try it free for 30 days. No, I don't work for them or get a kickback :-). Thanks for commenting on my quilts! Hope to hear from you again. I love this website, as well!

Hi Karen, Thanks for your comments about my Craftsy Blocks. None of my fabrics are scraps. I've been buying any blue to navy with white and/or cream fabrics I can put my hands on so that I can do these block. Yes I agree that January and February blocks were very difficult to make. I however the ones I liked making the most were March. I love english paper piecing. Quiet a few of my blocks were made using this technique. I am also currently making a block that uses this technique as well. Any way thanks for commenting. Julie Beard
