So…Now What?
•
I’ve been contemplating where to go from here and gathering fabrics for three different quilts that I think will be good to work on next, and I started one of them over this past weekend. Here’s an overview: Å i Lofoten This tiny village on the Lofoten Islands is named…

Where Did Summer Go?!
•
It’s not that I haven’t been working on quilts – I definitely have! It’s that summer is always a little shorter than we think it’s going to be when we’re looking at it in June. I was laid off in June, and I told myself I’d use the time of…

Simple Yet Evocative
•
A while back, I said I was still debating the sky fabric for the Gimsøy quilt. I had a couple of options, but the one I was leaning strongly toward had a hole cut out of one corner and wasn’t going to be big enough. I knew where I’d gotten…

•
A few weeks ago, I said that I wanted to finish those four quilts before I speak to my guild in September. The College Fjord quilt is done. The Acadia sunrise quilt is now almost done as well. Let’s take a look at what I’ve done. There were two questions…

Label Your Quilts!
•

The Border Debate Continues
•
The debate about borders continues. This time, it’s the Acadia sunrise quilt. This is where it stands now: I finished sewing the horizontal strips together several days ago, and I put it back up on the design wall and just could not figure out what to do next in terms…

College Fjord is Done!
•
Sewing buttons on with a machine is SO much easier and less painful! I really wanted to get it done before a year had passed since I took the photo (June 23, 2024), and I just squeaked it under the wire. Just as a reminder, here’s the original image: And…

Catching Up
•
It’s been a while. In late February, I discovered that there was an issue with my website’s hosting service (although I didn’t know exactly what the issue was at the time). It took several months to resolve, and I have had to recreate my entire website over the last week.…

Another Bargello Takes Shape
•
I am SO not doing another bargello. Now that I’ve (mostly) got all of the pieces together for the Hus Ved Havet quilt and definitely have it all hung up on the design wall, I am DONE with this bargello idea. I am going to love both of these quilts…
