Hey cyber homies! How are you guys doing? I am trying to finish the basket quilt that has become just a monster... but it won't let me! As you recall from my former whining, I quilted the background with a tiny pattern...don't ask me why...I'm just crazy. So, I was going to leave the inner border plain and just do a cross hatch in the border. But now I'm thinking that I need to double the cross hatch and add a pattern to the inner border. I have tons of other things to work on and need to get this finished and on eBay. Why am I like this? Ack... I also found this on Pinterest which I think is very interesting, especially now that I'm trying to sell quilting: I'm not sure who should get credit for this cause I can't read the fine print on the bottom right which is where the maker's name probably is. Again, I wonder why people will buy paintings for a lot of money but not quilts. I know that the stars in the quilting field get good money for their quilts but I am not in that category. Oh well, I have one commission (thank you--you know who you are!) and have the blocks finished for another top. So I'm busy. That's a good thing. What are you up to? What are you working on? Something fun I hope! Well, I'm off to work. Have a great Tuesday! XO from Bev

This morning on the train I decided it was time to write that post I've been meaning to write for a long time. Spurred by a increasing frustration with people's general lack of understanding of cost and 'real cost' (be it an 'expensive' handmade item or a cheap $15 tshirt) I want to share with you how we price our goods, and why pricing correctly is extremely important. Read the full blog post over here at the Ink & Spindle blog. Enjoy! x

If you've been following me for a while, you know how much I love to add extra Embellishments to my work. They are usually vintage/found beads, trim or stones from around the world. I love that they add to the story of my pieces, beyond my own designs. Adding fabric is definitely an an unconvention

One of the things I love this week was getting a photo of a wren. I've often caught sight of them down by the pond because I think they like the heavy shrubbery on three sides. There is a meadow there as well and loads of grasshoppers which I know wrens are fond of. However, it was right in front of my kitchen window that I managed to grab two quick shots of this little guy while he was checking out the decaying plants. In the third shot I took he was a complete blur. This was my redworked wren from that Crabapple Hill Designs series, Flight of Fancy. Perhaps I've shown you all of them now. We don't have the banks of sumac here like those that lined the farm driveway, but there are a couple of bushes. Amazing reds this time of year. Before I forget, the header photo is one I took a number of years ago. Hudson's Farm puts pumpkins on a cart in this field every year and you are on your honour to pay for one. You can see the cash box there on the left by the big pumpkin on the end. Remember I started a Medallion quilt back in August. I have been working on it a little. I set up the next round which are Spools and have 7 of them sewn. Every little bit moves it forward I figure. I may have more time to devote to it as my Dreamy Hearts quilt is a finish! It was my October OMG at Elm Street Quilts. I'm happy with it and it is now tucked away to be a Christmas gift. It is very soft and warm and single bed sized. Recently there was a great little blog hop hosted by Carol at Just Let Me Quilt. Sewists shared their patterns for quick little quilty gifts you can make. Two of our Thursday Likes group shared their work at these posts, Pieceful Thoughts and Life in the Scrapatch. And I love this too. Lena generously shares her free pattern for this lovely Moon Flower block at her Lena Pugacheva Art Quilts site. Lena also hosts the Friday link party, Creations, Quilts, Art. Just love this too- both the hands and the message. The photo is by Newfoundland photographer, Ned Pratt, and is used by Nonia, a non profit organization that has been selling hand made goods by Newfoundland and Labrador women for over 50 years. These are the hands of one of those women. I know by working with wool and fabric I am doing what my mother, both grandmothers and the one great grandmother I knew as a child did. That great grandmother had snow white hair, sewed quilts by hand but it was her gold tooth that fascinated me. I'm thinking this morning about how the fate of humans all over the globe may well be in the hands of scientists and researchers. They are working tirelessly to achieve the perfect concoction of a vaccine for us, one that will be safe in and of itself and also protect us from this awful virus, a monumental task. I am very thankful for them, their knowledge, unceasing labour and care. Here is a link to a Q & A with one such American researcher talking about how their quest is going. Also love these meet ups on the net;- Not Afraid of Color, Creations Quilts Art, Paying Ready Attention, My Quilt Infatuation, Confessions of a Fabric Addict, Alycia Quilts, Traffic Jam Weekend, Viewing Nature With Eileen and Quilt Fabrication.

For my very first blog post, (I am a blogging virgin....) I am sharing an item that I made this week. I belong to the local Quilters' Guild and each month we have a work day, where we bring our sewing machines and either work on our own projects or make a project to sell at our quilt show in April. There is nothing like a room full of friends, sewing machines buzzing, with all of us chatting up a storm. This week, our very own, very talented, Linda G., led us in creating this tote for our travel iron. This little beauty will be perfect for carrying our iron to classes and workshops. It is lined with that silvery Teflon ironing board fabric, and when open, it doubles as a pressing surface. I will be donating this one to the Guild, for sale at our Quilt Show, but can't wait to make one for myself. Fast forward... I have finished making my own tote. It's red, of course. And you can see how it unfolds and opens up for pressing. It's perfect! The tote opened up for pressing purposes.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Good Friday. I have enjoyed spending the day tidying up around the house and getting it a little back to normal after 2 weeks school holiday! Also took some time to photograph & list the new delivery of double fold bias binding that arrived yesterday. Two new designs ~ polka dot & blue/green floral ~ have been added to the existing stock of cherries & strawberries, pink gingham and petite flowers in navy. The quality is divine, they're a dream to sew with and all designs have a decorative lacey edge. Available in the online store.
