DARE TO BE CREATIVE! Wednesday, January 28, 2015. Keeping it on the "Q.T." Quilting Tip # 1. Recently I was selected as a member of Quiltmaker's Scrap Squad. Monday, we received our first quilt assignment. I decided to Google the word SCRAPPY -. Consisting of disorganized, untidy, or incomplete parts:. No one wants a quilt that is disorganized, untidy or incomplete. So how do you use scraps in a quilt and keep it organized, tidy, and complete. Well here is Q. T. # 1. I began by going through my scraps an...

Treasures-n-Textures: Wishing You a Happy Valentine's Day

http://treasures-n-textures.blogspot.com/2015/02/wishing-you-happy-valentines-day.html

DARE TO BE CREATIVE! Friday, February 13, 2015. Wishing You a Happy Valentine's Day. A few years ago I found a bag of vintage Valentine cards at the Peddler's Mall in Campbellsville, Kentucky. When I got them home, I realized that they were all for Mrs. Howell. Evidently all the students gave Mrs. Howell a Valentine. Many were teacher Valentines but these two were generic. I hope each of you has a wonderful day filled with chocolate, flowers, and LOVE! These are so sweet! February 14, 2015 at 3:24 PM.

DARE TO BE CREATIVE! Friday, July 11, 2014. This was my project last weekend. It is Anita Goodesign's "Tote-ally Tote-able" Tote. I just love the way this project turned out. Don't you love those leather handles with the leather flowers and buttons. I purchased the handles at the Arizona Quilt Guild Show in March. I knew I'd find a place to use them and they were perfect for this project. Thursday, July 10, 2014. I recently completed this quilt. The inspiration was the fabric below. Dare to Be Creative.

DARE TO BE CREATIVE! Thursday, February 26, 2015. Keeping It on the "Q.T." Quilting Tip # 3. It's past time for another "Q.T." tip so here is next "Keeping it on the Q.T." tip. Tip # 3 - Audition your fabric before you start sewing. If you audition your fabric before you take that first stitch, you will save your time and hopefully eliminate using your seam ripper. Below is an example of how auditioning your fabric will help when making a quilt. Selecting the fabrics I would use for the quilt. I did end ...
