IRISHLAKEQUILTER: What's On My Wall and More.........
http://irishlakequilter.blogspot.com/2011/01/whats-on-my-wall-and-more.html
Snippets and quilts, family, pets and friends. Thursday, January 27, 2011. What's On My Wall and More. What is on my "wall" today? This picture shows the start of a 4000 piece quilt that I am making for Michael's girlfriend, Jen. Since the photo was taken, I've increased the number of blocks to over 30 (there are 200)in the quilt and I may reduce that to a number less than the 200. These little blocks take a long time to make and accuracy, as I'm learning rapidly, if of utmost importance! Watermark templ...

IRISHLAKEQUILTER: September 2008
http://irishlakequilter.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Snippets and quilts, family, pets and friends. Thursday, September 11, 2008. Not a thing comes to mind for a title on this post. Summer is winding down, much to my dismay. Everything is coming all at once and my blog has taken back seat. Do I make kits and put them all together and schlep those to and fro? I try to do the latter, but that elusive piece of fabric is always at the other end! Retreat - it's that time already! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

IRISHLAKEQUILTER: Christmas
http://irishlakequilter.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas.html
Snippets and quilts, family, pets and friends. Sunday, December 26, 2010. We awoke to 8" of new snow this morning - totally surprised us all! We jokingly laughed at the predictions that had been on TV for the past few days because it had not hit us by last night. It is truly gorgeous out there! A cardinal or a deer amongst the trees would make a wonderful Christmas card photo for next year. Here's a shot from a few days ago. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Snippets and quilts, family, pets and friends. Monday, June 30, 2008. Sunday mornings are meant to be low-key, quiet and relaxing.right? E sewing machine (his birthday present to me for my 34th) and brought it home. It is rusting in places, but I am a firm believer in persistence. I doused it with WD-40, got out the Q-tips and some rags and went at it. It isn't very good yet, but it runs! Links to this post. Thursday, June 19, 2008. A few days ago I told you about the challenge that Mary. In the picture,...

MainStreetMagpie: thoughts
http://mainstreetmagpie.blogspot.com/2010/07/thoughts.html
Collector of all things shiny. Thursday, July 8, 2010. No pictures today, I need to find my card reader. I was thinking about the baby quilt that I just finished and is now hanging on the back of a chair waiting to be gifted. It looked really awful as I was pushing and shoving it around the needle to quilt it. Now it looks beautiful. I love the soft shades of browns, the wrinkles and the poofies. What has changed? Not the quilt. Is it because I'm not looking so closely? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Collector of all things shiny. Thursday, June 24, 2010. It's quilted and bound. just have to check for loose threads and it's done! Look out Harriet Hargrave, here I come! Maybe in another 50 years or so. The fabrics are organically grown and not dyed, the top quilting thread is organic. I used a conventional backing and bobbin thread because all I had left of the organic fabric was the plain off white. My machine quilting is not up for that yet. Links to this post.
