Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Asian…

August 20, 2018 by amy Leave a Comment

… and also something blue. I am so super-stoked to have finished this quilt top today. It’s a UFO from waaaayyyyy back – about 2013 to be more specific. I started it when I lived in Peyton, Colorado. “Something Old” is most of it. The red/brown/cream daisy fabric was my original inspiration. I loved it … [Read more…]

Sliding into 2018 Like…Woah!

December 25, 2017 by amy Leave a Comment

I love the week between Christmas and New Year. I enjoy reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the coming one. What’s amazing is that I’m not super depressed by all the goals I didn’t accomplish this year. The list is long, but staring at the face of a fresh, new beginning, I … [Read more…]

It’s Binding Time

November 13, 2017 by amy Leave a Comment

Today, I machine-stitched the binding to the front of my Positively Scrappy quilt. All that remains is a few evenings of Netflix binging while hand-sewing it to the back and the quilt will be cuddle ready. I love this quilt for many reasons, even though it’s probably not the most beautiful one in the world.  … [Read more…]

To Baste or Not to Baste…

November 6, 2017 by amy Leave a Comment

Can I hire someone to baste my quilts? Is that a thing? I want to do the quilting myself, but I do NOT love putting together that quilt sandwich. Today was the day to begin quilting Positively Scrappy, so I eagerly spread out my backing, batting and quilt top on my sitting room floor. I … [Read more…]

One Bite at a Time…

November 6, 2017 by amy Leave a Comment

The Chaos Continues I’m beginning to feel like this project will never end, so I have to remind myself of the question, “How do you eat an elephant?” The answer, of course, is, “One bite at a time.” Today I finished Section 12. I did Section 13 some months back, so I now have three … [Read more…]

Did You Know?

October 25, 2017 by amy Leave a Comment

Did you know the word quilt comes from the Latin culcita, meaning stuffed sack? Well, now you know. You’re welcome. 😉 I’ve been reading a lot about the history of quilting lately. Fascinating stuff. One aspect of our craft I really relate to as far as history is concerned is the necessity of it…the need … [Read more…]

Winning Color Combinations – Red and Brown

October 12, 2017 by amy Leave a Comment

Quilting inspiration comes from many places: a photograph, a shape, a memory even. For me, it almost always begins with color. One of the reasons I love fabric so much is all the scrumptious eye candy. It’s like a painting you can cuddle. In this series, we’re going to discuss awesome color combinations, and we’re … [Read more…]

Posies and Plaid

July 1, 2016 by amy Leave a Comment

Throwback Thursday This little lap quilt is another treasure from my Alaska days. The girls and I spent a wonderful year there while my soldier did an unaccompanied tour in Korea. Between hubby being gone and the bitter cold winter, I had lots of time on my hands, most of which I spent quilting and sewing. My … [Read more…]
