Quilt Otaku: Visiting the country below Neverland

http://quiltotaku.blogspot.com/2014/06/visiting-country-below-neverland.html

Friday, June 13, 2014. Visiting the country below Neverland. We just got back from a week of running around London with the family. Did we go there only to visit Liberty of London. Of course not. Well, kinda, but there were a lot of other things to see and do. The kids had ideas of what they wanted to do and so did the adults. We found a pretty good happy medium where many of our top places were visited. Hello, is that London UK? Going there in August. Looking forward to your posts! Pamela, in Japan.

Quilt Otaku: The French General: EPP Hexagons, Rue Indienne, and Quilt Shopping in LA

http://quiltotaku.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-french-general-epp-hexagons-rue.html

Monday, December 1, 2014. The French General: EPP Hexagons, Rue Indienne, and Quilt Shopping in LA. If you like to sew and you are in the general (pun intended) neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, please consider a stop in at The French General. As part of your to-do list. After visiting there myself, I can hardly get the images of their delicious fabrics, colors, textures (think linen! Out of my mind. They have beads and trims as well as fabrics. S well as some glue to glue base to the paper. Your ...

Quilt Otaku: When the going gets tough, the tough get ear warmers

http://quiltotaku.blogspot.com/2014/07/when-going-gets-tough-tough-get-ear.html

Thursday, July 31, 2014. When the going gets tough, the tough get ear warmers. I ran into this photo I took back in 2012. It made me smile and I thought that it might do the same for you. Apparently it seemed like a good use of my time to make leg warmers for my niece and matching ear warmers for this Ugly Doll. I get these creative urges sometimes and in hindsight I do at times wonder what possessed me. Anyhow, I'm sure these things were appreciated at the time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Quilt Otaku: Hexagon Quilt: English Paper Piecing

http://quiltotaku.blogspot.com/2014/10/hexagon-quilt-english-paper-piecing.html

Monday, October 6, 2014. Hexagon Quilt: English Paper Piecing. These days I spend more time running around with the family and less time quilting so it's kinda big news when I finish a quilt top. I was not trying to make a huge quilt with this hexagon project, more of a small wall hanging. Now that I see it all together, I sort of wish I had made it bigger. It's rather cool. That doesn't mean the quilt is done, of course. My favorite part is still to come.the quilting part. View my complete profile.

Quilt Otaku: Viewmaster - the good old fashioned toy

http://quiltotaku.blogspot.com/2014/08/viewmaster-good-old-fashioned-toy.html

Sunday, August 10, 2014. Viewmaster - the good old fashioned toy. I realized how behind I am on mounting recent viewmaster film we have shot into paper mounts for the kids to use in their viewmasters. Let this blog post serve as a piece of string around my finger reminding me to take care of that in my ample spare time. Above is a photo of my DH and my dad each playing with their 3D film cameras. Does 3D 3D = 6D somehow? I really love this silly photo for some reason. August 14, 2014 at 1:48 PM. How to b...

Quilt Otaku: Somewhere Over the Rainbow Socks

http://quiltotaku.blogspot.com/2014/06/somewhere-over-rainbow-socks.html

Sunday, June 8, 2014. Somewhere Over the Rainbow Socks. I would say I'm over the moon with these socks but it's more like over the rainbow. It has not been super warm yet for me so I am still getting a chance to wear these at night. The baseball season ended just in time for me to finish them. I can knit plain socks without looking at my hands so it gives me something to do but I still see all the plays. I often wish I could sew without looking too. June 10, 2014 at 7:47 AM.

Quilt Otaku: Indian Summer

http://quiltotaku.blogspot.com/2014/10/indian-summer.html

Wednesday, October 8, 2014. It still feels like summer here in Northern California. We still need sunblock on the kids if we go out for a while during the day. It's been a busy time with lots of soccer games on the weekends and a little creative work for me on the sidelines. I am knitting a sweater that I am frustrated with because when I was working on picking up some stitches the yarn broke and now I have to go back and fix it. Let it be known that weak yarn is annoying. The Blood of Olympus. Otaku (おた...

Quilt Otaku: Pacitif International Quilt Festival 2014

http://quiltotaku.blogspot.com/2014/10/pacitif-international-quilt-festival.html

Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Pacitif International Quilt Festival 2014. Pacific International Quilt Festival. Is a quilt show that I like to attend every year. It's a short drive from where I live, so dropping in for a few hours is low hanging fruit and a serious treat for the eyes. This year was no exception. A highlight for me was meeting (In Person! Here's a link to all the photos I took at Pacific International Quilt Festival 2014. Oh right and if you missed the previous nine years. Thank you for the...

Quilt Otaku: Birthday Quilt - girl version

http://quiltotaku.blogspot.com/2014/08/birthday-quilt-girl-version.html

Monday, August 18, 2014. Birthday Quilt - girl version. I'm making a couple more signature blocks for some 6 year olds and a 9 year old who will celebrate their birthdays in September. By the time you are nine, you don't really want a birthday party anymore. I find that rather sobering. This whole growing up thing is happening at lightening speed. The girl version is out of Liberty of London fabric. One down, two to go. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Quilt shopping in Japan.
