Quilt Island: June 2014
http://quiltisland.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 13, 2014. As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been cutting my scraps into strips as Bonnie Hunter teaches in her workshops and books. I found this Sister's Choice quilt block on her website at quiltville.com. I love this block but I need to pay a bit more attention to my piecing next time. These two blocks came out about 1/2 inch different in size. Not good. Not good at all! The Easy Angle makes cutting and piecing half square triangles really. No kidding, I love it!

Quilt Island: New Pursuits
http://quiltisland.blogspot.com/2015/07/new-pursuits.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2015. My life has changed over the last few months and for the better, I'm happy to say! My friends at my last job gave me a gift certificate for a local nursery and I was able to buy lots of flowers for hanging baskets. I cleaned my sewing room and put many fabrics on my bookcase. I cleared out a lot of old fabrics . And took them to our annual auction at my Back Roads quilt group. Say no more, already used many times. And then some odds and ends for $2. We rolled out ink. Westering ...

The Blog of Studio 791. Ideas for Keeping It Fresh. Thursday, March 26, 2015. Some people bodysurf. Some people kitesurf. Some people windsurf. Some people channel surf. Some people web surf. I like to library surf! My county has 29 libraries within its borders, and I can order any book I want from their online catalog to be picked up at my nearest branch. Instead of relying on that service, though, I like to go to the other branches, further away and less familiar to me. This is such a fun and quirky bo...

The Blog of Studio 791. Ideas for Keeping It Fresh. Thursday, December 26, 2013. Favorite Projects of 2013. I spent some time last night going through my blog posts from the past year, giving myself a chance for a little retrospection. I thought it would be fun to collect some "blog favorites" over the year to share with you. Today, I am highlighting some of my favorite projects from 2013. I didn't keep up with my Christmas in [Insert Month Here] series. I made back in September. Some cute little "object...

The Blog of Studio 791. Ideas for Keeping It Fresh. Thursday, April 30, 2015. I have a thing for typewriters. If you visit my Pinterest board called " Typewriter Love. You will see that I love pictures of typewriters, pictures of authors working at their typewriters, mixed media art featuring typewriters, font created by typewriters, jewelry that includes typewriters, rubber stamps that create images of typewriters, keys that come from typewriters. You get the idea. I'm just not sure! We have stayed in t...

The Blog of Studio 791. Ideas for Keeping It Fresh. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. 2015 iHanna International Postcard Swap. I mentioned in an earlier post. That I am participating in i Hanna's international postcard swap. Again this spring, and wanted to share with you the cards I will be sending out into the world this time around. For my next step, I glued down some of the old cancelled checks I purchased from the Allentown Paper Show. Finally, I used my "new" old typewriter. My cards, then, are an attempt to ...
