Why I Am Lazy & Stingy

December 16, 2020 by Amy Cook

It’s December 11th as I write this and I need a Christmas gift by December 14th. I happen to have a quilt loaded on my Q’Nique midarm. I thought it would be done with it by now, but who wants to bet I’ll be sewing the binding late into the night on December 13th. Because … [Read more…]

The Art of Piddling

December 8, 2020 by Amy Cook

I recently attended a quilt retreat. It was super-fun and while there I completed a few projects, including one long-term quilt. I was exhausted when I got home and could not possibly commit to another project right away so for the last few days I’ve been piddling. I don’t know or care how Webster defines … [Read more…]

Earth Song – A Finished Quilt

October 10, 2020 by Amy Cook

Or, in other words, A Quilt I Didn’t Quit, or in still other words, a UFO No Mo’. I just read through my first post on this little quilt.   As you might have guessed, I did procure a long-arm between the writing of that post and this one – a Q’Nique 15Pro from The Grace … [Read more…]

The House That Scrappy Built

September 3, 2020 by Amy Cook

I’ve always been enamored of house quilts. Houses and quilts seem such a natural pairing, both speaking to the utmost in coziness and comfort. I’ve made a couple of them before now and those, I cherish. After my latest one though, I began to consider how I would go about designing my own house quilt.   … [Read more…]

Another Quilt Is Born – The Full-On Scrappy One

October 28, 2019 by Amy Cook Leave a Comment

In a recent post, A Quilt Is Born, I talked about one of my bucket-list quilts, the giant gingham. I mentioned the one I made is moderately scrappy and I quite like it, but I decided to make a full-on scrappy version and a totally non-scrappy one to compare and contrast. Today, I started my … [Read more…]

A Quilt Is Born

October 14, 2019 by Amy Cook Leave a Comment

For months now, I’ve been working on a couple of projects that seem never-ending. This weekend, I wanted the satisfaction of a finish, so instead of doing what I know I should have done, which is to continue with my WIPs, I started something new. I did end the week with a finished quilt top, … [Read more…]

Another UFO Bites the Dust – A Story about Long-Arm Machines

September 30, 2019 by amy Leave a Comment

Y’all, I did something… I bought a thing, and I’m not sure exactly what it is. I’ve seen it called a mid-arm machine but I’ve also been told it’s a tiny long-arm. At any rate, it’s Uber-fun to drive. (Yah, it’s called “driving.” I didn’t make that up.) Meet Quita. (Because anything that costs this … [Read more…]

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…]

Accuquilt Block Design Contest

August 1, 2018 by amy Leave a Comment

Aloha, Y’all. I did a thing… I entered the Accuquilt Block Design Contest. Here’s my entry. If you sew with me, you know how much I love my Accuquilt Studio, right? So when I saw the contest, I was super-excited. There’s some stiff competition though. I would love it if you would take a moment … [Read more…]

My Cat…Asshole or Quilt Designer?

July 29, 2018 by amy 1 Comment

I’ve been working on this quilt for quite a while. I was going to call it “In the Stacks” because it reminded me of rows of library books. It was to be a gift for a friend who recently had a baby. My plan was set.   My cat had other ideas…   What an … [Read more…]
