You Quilt?: April 2012
http://martinquilts.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 29, 2012. I made my first garment this week. Well, sort of. The little one had a sock hop at her school and wanted to have a real poodle skirt for her outfit, so I gave it a try. I have to say I am very pleased with the result. With the help of this Circle Skirt tutorial. As a starting point it really was quite simple. So, here are the obligatory cute kid photos! She was overjoyed at how well the felt spun for her! Friday, April 20, 2012. It's not a totally new work, I did it back in. As on...

You Quilt?: November 2011
http://martinquilts.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 6, 2011. Sunday afternoon play time. I'm between projects and waiting for Ang to finish her part of one so I can finish it so I had some time this afternoon to play around and experiment. Nothing too exciting, just playing with scraps again and trying out some ideas. These little experiments are helping me sort out some visual ideas and work on some basic techniques without being worried about messing up on a serious project. Still not thrilled with zippers though. New Toy, Old Project.

You Quilt?: January 2012
http://martinquilts.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 2, 2012. So, it's 2012.hmmm. Well, I'm not really sure how that relates to this blog, but I'll work it in somehow. I never know just how to start these posts and it just seemed like I should say something about the new year and all. Ah, wait a minute, too easy. This January marks one year of this cheesy little blog. It also marks 1 1/2 years I've been trying to quilt. Ok, guess that is about it. Oh well, this is the You Quilt? Blog version 2012. Not new, and not necessarily improved.

You Quilt?
http://martinquilts.blogspot.com/2012/04/hi-all-ive-submitted-quilt-to-right-in.html
Friday, April 20, 2012. I've submitted the quilt to the right in the latest Quilting Gallery Weekly Contest. It's not a totally new work, I did it back in. October, but it fits the theme of Squares and Rectangles pretty well, or at least for how I see "squares.". Anyway, if you have found your self here from the contest, thanks for coming by, poke around, leave me a note. If you haven't voted in the contest, go vote! April 20, 2012 at 3:11 PM. Fantastic work, great colors, good job, youve got my vote.

You Quilt?: September 2012
http://martinquilts.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 3, 2012. Hey there, I'm back! So, obviously it has been a while, but whatever, I've got something new to babble about. I'd been wanting to do something with old clothing, so I grabbed some old shirts and jeans and started cutting. (That sounds like I took them straight from the closet. I didn't, these were set aside a while back.). I ended up with this odd, modern, random design. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. 15 minutes play.BumbleBeans Inc.

You Quilt?: July 2011
http://martinquilts.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 16, 2011. I don't know whether I like it, but it is what I meant. One consideration I had was that I wanted this to let as much light through as possible, so that led to smaller colored blocks. The purple one really doesn't look as dark in real life as it photographed. Still, it is a bit out of character with the other. But, overall, it is what I imagined and I am pleased I was able to create what I imagined and it was fun. Ain't that the point? Now, to work on my design skills. Since I'm ...
