I have added a new page called EQ7 tutorials : The first one is on designing a Bargello quilt using EQ7 software. I hope that you find this tutorial helpful if you are trying to figure out how to design a Bargello quilt using EQ software.
This was a block of the month... sort of. Five years ago we got tired of doing the same old thing with our secret sisters. We decided to fill out a paper that told our favorite colors and what we would like to get from our secret sister. There were several diferent catigories to choose from. I chose to receive a block patern and material to go with...
Das Kissen für Snowboard Fans habe ich für meinen Sohn genäht. Er hat sich ein Foto ausgesucht, das vergröÃert wurde. Danach habe ich die Umrisse abgezeichnet und als Vorlage für die Applikation benutzt. Den Schriftzug hat Jonas, ein Freund von meinem Sohn gezeichnet. Sehr gelungen - oder!? Vielen Dank für die künstlerische Unterstützung ...
Leaves - I took the free motion quilting challenge, which for January was "leaves". I used variagated thread and put them in the place I thought they would be most appropriate on my AAQI quilt - the treetop. 8) Frances Moore's leaf tutorial was excellent. I played a bit with a practise quilt sandwich, then let loose on the real thing.&nbs...

The Blanketeer's have committed to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative for 2012. These quilts are only 9"x12". My goal is to make one per month. Here's my first attempt: The quilt isn't finished yet, this is just the unembellished background. It's going to be a clothesline quilt. Chris knit t...
It's done, it's done, it's FINALLY done! Only took three years. Three years of the Flynn Frame , falling out of the closet every time I opened the door. I like how it has turned out very much. Considering it was initially called the "Ugly Brown Quilt"; it turned out great! The prints in this quilt came from the donated fabric tha...
I finished Cabin Friends over the holidays. I'm very pleased with it, though working with so many browns and greys made me long to do a nice bright project. It was supposed to have snowflakes in the corners, but I wanted Christmas trees. They were really fun to embellish, though I should have waited to bead until after quilting. ...
I visited my Mom at her new house over Thanksgiving. I had the choice of either helping cook the big feast or re-purposing the old master bedroom drapes in the new guest room. I chose the drapes. I spent several hours shoehorning big valences into much smaller windows. It was the most rigged-up piece of work...
In the past 2 months since I last blogged I've completed 5 tiny cross-stitched Christmas stockings, 1 cross-stitched Easter egg, 1 handanger ornament, 1 big quilt, 1 small Christmas wall-hanging and 2 pillows. I don't have pictures of everything yet, in fact, I gave away 5 of the stockings and both ornaments and forgot to take ...
by Quilting Arts - Though I've fallen quite far behind in quilting, and haven't done much lately, I do subscribe to the lovely Quilting Daily newsletter, and found today's article quite inspirational. I'm one of these quilters who loves to start projects, but hates finishing them. That's unfortunate, since the quilting is my favorite part. At any rate, today's ...
Last night's sunset before the intense winds hit. So glad the roof didn't blow off. The clouds remind me of a Max Parrish painting. Wood stove safety - our indoor/outdoor cat, Oje, decided after having been with us for a couple winters now, that he needed to jump on the lit wood stove last Saturday night. ~SIGH~ Fortunately his wounds did not seem...
