When Cows Fly

When Cows Fly I think we've established several things about me here: That I can't could stop buying fabric anytime. ANY time. That I have a lot of ideas for projects that I may or may not ever finish. That I really like chocolate baked goods. That I am capable of turning the simplest project into a major psychological inquest. If you... Continue reading "When Cows Fly..."

Vintage Ocean Waves Quilt Block Pieces

Vintage Ocean Waves Quilt Block Pieces I believe I've mentioned before that I find old fabrics and old, unfinished quilt blocks to be incredibly inspiring. I just love the colors, the patterns, the textures, the... dare I say it, possibilities. So I couldn't pass up this bin of vintage unassembled Ocean Waves quilt blocks. I got these for a rock-bottom price, because they are kind... Continue reading "Vintage Ocean Waves Quilt Block Pieces..."

Vintage Double Wedding Ring I absolutely adore vintage quilt blocks. And for some reason, I tend to gravitate towards buying unfinished quilts, like these never assembled 30's-era feedsack pieces. These are the curved bits that make a Double Wedding Ring quilt. The fabric is absolutely gorgeous. I intend to make the quilt, someday, but in the meantime, just being able to look at...

Iris the Womberscootch

Iris the Womberscootch I promised you a mysterious artist, and I'm going to deliver. By way of introduction, let me tell you about Iris. She's not really a pet. More of a companion. Iris is a Womberscootch. When Iris woke up this morning, the first thing Iris said was, "I want to go outside." Unfortunately it's been blustery and stormy, so I...

My First Quilt: Trip Around the World

My First Quilt: Trip Around the World This is my first quilt. I didn't make it, I bought it at the mall. There's millions of them around. I had started a rail fence quilt back in college, but bogged down with work, school, life and otherwise, I packed it in a box and stuffed in the attic. That was in 1991. That summer I graduated from... Continue reading "My First Quilt: Trip Around the World..."
