Macaron Quilts: March 2015
http://macaronquilts.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Fabric Selection Made Simple Series. Monday, March 30, 2015. My first quilt rejection. I got some bad news the other day. Disappointing is a more accurate adjective, actually. I submitted my first quilt to an art competition. And it was rejected during the first round of jurying. Truthfully, I've been trying to brace myself, because I didn't really expect it to be accepted. But, I'm still disappointed, and I've still definitely shed some tears. I asked my friend Cynthia. Friday, March 27, 2015. This week...

The Linen Fox: 13 Quilts: Ode to Camille Roskelley
http://thelinenfox.blogspot.com/2015/05/13-quilts-ode-to-camille-roskelley.html
Wednesday, May 27, 2015. 13 Quilts: Ode to Camille Roskelley. I have a list so long of quilts I want to make, a hoard of fabric that grows with each trip back to the US, and a serious case of Quilter's ADD - that often I find myself at a loss for what to make next. Problem solved! Instagram is THE social media outlet; it's quick and easy and voila! You snap a picture of your quilt and done! I think for this journey, I'm going to blog and IG. Is this adventure going to teach me anything? And who knows wha...

The Linen Fox: Quilt #2: Retro
http://thelinenfox.blogspot.com/2015/11/quilt-2-retro.html
Sunday, November 15, 2015. Back to the point. Retro in Navy Penny Dots. Yes. Isn't that the great thing about quilts/quilt patterns/quilters? You can take one pattern, and it totally takes a life of it's own, depending on it's maker. My hiatus from the Simply Retro book will end after January. My plan is to jump into a APQ Tone-It-Down Quilt along, and then maybe in February hit Quilt #3. The Holidays are upon us, and while I don't have a boat load of stuff to do, it's enough to at least fill a canoe.

The Linen Fox: My Word for 2016
http://thelinenfox.blogspot.com/2016/01/my-word-for-2016.html
Thursday, January 14, 2016. My Word for 2016. I remember choosing my word for 2014. Intentional. We had just moved to Brasil. I had a 6 month old and a 2.5 year old, and I felt overwhelmed. Like I was just going through the motions of life, and my only job was to stay afloat and keep the kids alive. Intentional seemed like a good choice. My word for this year is GROW. Of fabric. I love making quilts, and that will never stop, but I feel like it's time to take this gift and do more with it! I'm also happy...

Thursday, October 22, 2015. Pattern Testing: Constant Sunshine. I had the chance to pattern test for @simplybekah. Most of us know her, and her kindness, and unwavering support and encouragement for the quilting community. She has written her first pattern, Constant Sunshine, and it. is. gorgeous. It reminds me a little of Swoon. It has 9 big blocks, which I LOVE, and it looks great when you add in coordinating solids. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bella Skill Builder Pt 2.

The Linen Fox: September 2015
http://thelinenfox.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 16, 2015. Simply Retro Quilt #1 - Swell in Hello Darling. There are a lot of reasons I began this sewing journey through Camille Roskelley's Simply Retro book. Most of them fall in the "fan girl" category. Other reasons include simple things: She makes awesome patterns, that are easy to follow, even if you are new to this quilting game. Her fabric is GORGEOUS. AND there are so many quilts on my list, I need a focus; a place to start. The quilt went together very quickly. The only...

The Linen Fox: November 2014
http://thelinenfox.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 13, 2014. Sewing and quilting gives me a lot of time to think. Most of the time it's about all the other stuff on my "To-Do" list, or duties around the house that are being neglected because I would rather sew, but anyway. I was thinking the other night about all the little nuances that quilters have. Here is my list.Because quilter's have lists. Now the saving of scraps isn't necessarily odd, but the crazy part of this habit lies in the size of the scraps. How small is too small?
