Baby quilt made from a pattern in Kim Brackett's Scrap-Basket Surprises book.
A billfish encounter is exciting — especially with one that’s smaller than your pinkie finger.
I just finished another top from the Saturday Strippers group. I think it is the first time I have actually finished the project, in the st...
This is Sheri's Nova Quilt and it is a pattern you can find in Kim Brackett's book Scrap-Basket Sensations. Sheri made this quilt out of her batik scraps and I have this one on my 'to-do' list as my batik scrap basket is starting to overflow too! I chose the pantograph Taro for this one and used Quilters Dream Blend batting. The thread is a light beige So Fine thread and the backing is a beige wide Stonehenge. It can be quite tricky getting pictures of quilts on the snow after a fresh layer has fallen and every time you try to lay the quilt down the fluffy snow flies into the air and covers the quilt. Not to mention all the marks you leave in the snow as you try again and again to get the quilt to lay flat. Well I guess this was my lucky day as when I went to lay the quilt out the wind blew in just the right direction at the right time and the quilt gently floated down on the snow without disturbing anything!! It was a 'Magic Carpet" moment with a perfect landing!
As gnocchi are known to be ornery, the key to getting pillowy lightness with these Italian dumplings is to add only enough flour to bring the dough together. The first thing you’ll notice with this dish is probably the rich sauce, then you’ll bite into the sublime dumplings.
Here is part 8 of the Just Takes 2 project. I am happy to report I got all my blocks done before May 1st when the next set of instructions come out. Part 7 had included the layout for the set of blocks done up to that point and I just now got around to laying them out to take a look at how it is shaping up. You can see I have a hole in mine...that one block is suppose to be hand pieced and is still waiting to be made. I think seeing this all laid out might just motivate me to get it done. I'm not sure where my recent blocks will go in the layout but here they are with the rest of them. The jury is still out whether I like this project or not. I'm definitely working out of my comfort zone color wise and I usually don't like to make sampler quilts! But I really like to try new things and it is using up a lot of my hand dyed scraps so I won't judge it until it is all done.
