The Big Idea: April 2009
http://quiltthebigidea.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
A group blog for Design Camp quilters. Sunday, April 26, 2009. Details- finishing the edge. For a sense of scale: ach of the individual squares are 1-5/8 x 2"; this method would only be appropriate for a small quilt, one that wasn't going to be handled very much. Back side below. About the quilting: Top one is hand-quilted, bottom is machine quilted with invisible thread on the front. I've decided instead to do hand-tying at the corners. Sunday, April 5, 2009.

The Big Idea: June 2008
http://quiltthebigidea.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
A group blog for Design Camp quilters. Sunday, June 22, 2008. Here's my pastel project: each of these is a 9x12 piece of pastel paper, so the whole thing is 60x45". The idea is one I've been thinking of for a quilt for a while- midwestern landscape in late winter/early spring. Next I tried doing monotype prints. My intent was to get more "fabric" for stones, but the results were interesting enough to me in themselves that I haven't cut them up. These are each about 14x17". Thursday, June 19, 2008. Well, ...

A song composed of quilts, travel, family and friends. Sunday, March 20, 2011. And Claire went off early Saturday morning to Vet-a-Visit at MSU. 160;They had fun seeing the animals. Cubby. Said his favorite was seeing a horse on a treadmill. He wasn't interested in sticking his hand inside the see-thru cow though. He got a little stuffed cow and had a personal consultation with the vet. Most kids said their animals had broken legs or sore tummies. Cubby. Sunday, March 13, 2011. Here are the pieces pinne...

Fiber Rhapsody: Steampunk Bunny
http://lisabquilter.blogspot.com/2014/03/steampunk-bunny.html
A song composed of quilts, travel, family and friends. Monday, March 10, 2014. Here is a little Steampunk bunny that I fell in love with at the Kalamazoo Show. I'm sorry I didn't note the quilter but I really appreciate her work. The whole piece was tiny,. Maybe 8 x 8" or 10 x 10". When I think of Steampunk, the Robert Downey Sherlock Holmes comes to mind. My other thought is Jack the Ripper's East End of London. I haven't watched Dr Who but I think that fits this category also. This quilt is darling!

The Big Idea: January 2009
http://quiltthebigidea.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
A group blog for Design Camp quilters. Friday, January 9, 2009. Overcoming reluctance/fear to work on "big idea" projects. 2) Using a white 5x8 card marked with daily blocks for a month, I wrote down for Tuesday two things I wanted to work on that morning. And then I did them! Writing down the intention. Limiting the number of projects to work on in any one chunk of time. Deciding on a daily basis, not trying to make a plan for a week or more. With this in place, here's what I've worked on this week:.

http://lisabquilter.blogspot.com/2012/11/past-present-and-future.html
A song composed of quilts, travel, family and friends. Monday, November 19, 2012. Past, Present and Future. Past - Here's a quilt top 5 years in the making (60" x 60"). I finally finished it at Cindy's Up-North Quilt Retreat. Baptist Fans keep calling out to me for the quilting. I don't think I want to hand quilt it though. Not sure how I would go about it on the machine. Future - not very far away now-unless you're 6 years old - then it's forever! Love the quilt top. Baptist fans would be lovely. The Co...

Fiber Rhapsody: May 2011
http://lisabquilter.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
A song composed of quilts, travel, family and friends. Sunday, May 15, 2011. Little Brown Church in the Vale - not quite. Here's the church that is going into the tree quilt. I especially like the way the stained glass windows turned out. This is one of the filler blocks. There are three of these. There are also some four-patches and "fence" blocks yet to come. Sunday, May 8, 2011. Last week was the quilt show at Sauder Village. This is MacArthur's Attic, which was too large for the wall quilt catego...
