smazoochie: December 2014
http://smazoochie.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. So looking back, I guess I had kind of a good year. 16 finished quilts - there were even a few small ones that I didn't share. Looking at the mosaic, first thing I notice is - What a lot of SQUARES! I don't know how that happened, normally, my go-to shape is triangles, but apparently 2014 was smazoochie's year for squares! I looked up the goals. I made for the year back in January - how did I do? Not so much. That is the top of my list again this year. See you next year!

smazoochie: November 2014
http://smazoochie.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. When our friends had their first child, a daughter, I thought about making her a quilt, but Life intruded and it didn't happen. Six (! Years later, they have had their second child, a son. Since this seems to be my Year to Make Quilts, I thought I would make the boy a quilt. And, well, I can't give the baby a quilt and not give big sister one, also. Right? So, two quick, cute quilts! Add lots of white! Sunday, November 23, 2014. Dorothy is a simple 16-patch - half Kaffe Fassett.

smazoochie: August 2015
http://smazoochie.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2015. My finished quilts kicked it up a notch - from 1 to 7! A mini and a lap-sized, made with on-hand parts were shipped to new owners before I made photos. Here's one in its new home. A big quilty hug to you, Mrs. O'Quilts. I tied the block corners. The Pop Art nail polish bottles are done - quick and cute. And a jelly roll race - not completely done, binding is on and hand-sewing is in progress. Then there is my Quilt of Shame. I am hanging my head. My reason - not my excuse! As I e...

smazoochie: March 2015
http://smazoochie.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 29, 2015. I found this little lap-sized quilt on Etsy and quickly snapped it up. It's from the 1960s, one of the decades in which not many quilts were made. The pattern is a simple rail fence. But the fabrics! Besides being bright, most of the prints have a woven texture. I think it is lots of fun and very groovy! Monday, March 23, 2015. Spring on the Gulf Coast. Fabric ones, of course, gifts for 2 friends. Made from this pattern. You are always *my* Best of Show. xxx. Monday, March 09, 2015.

smazoochie: May 2015
http://smazoochie.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 11, 2015. They are so satisfying! Easy, quick, pretty - and they are great stash busters! Even though the calendar says Summer is still a few weeks away, it is SUMMER! Here already. The AC has been running for some time now. We've gotten quite a bit of rain - good, we needed it - but it also bumps up the humidity and the mosquito population. The good news is: the magnolia are in bloom! Saturday, May 02, 2015. I'm in with the In Crowd,. I know what the In Crowd knows. I'm in with the In Crowd,.

smazoochie: October 2014
http://smazoochie.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 13, 2014. The lies that lying liars tell. Do you recall me saying that I was not going quilt with my wiggle-y walking-foot zigzag. Well, I lied. Never say never, right? Friday, October 10, 2014. I recently made a quilt for a friend who quilts. It was a milestone birthday for her. She is so adorable, she deserves a quilt every day of the year, but I just made her the one. Cool colors or warm? Blocky or overall pattern? And she loved it! Monday, October 06, 2014. Now that the quilts are fin...

smazoochie: My fabric diet
http://smazoochie.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-fabric-diet.html
Saturday, July 25, 2015. As with my physical health and eating habits, I want modest fabric acquisition to become a way of life, not a strict, short-term program - no fabric fasting, just manageable buying that I can comfortably live with. But, like my wise friend, RachaelDaisy. Says, "Moderation in all things, including moderation.". I've been to 2 quilts shows already this year: QuiltCon. The Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival. Well, it's just too hard to pass up! I wonder what I will do with them?

smazoochie: February 2015
http://smazoochie.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2015. I'm back from the second QuiltCon. I had not planned on going, but the possibility of meeting quite a few of my favorite quilters tipped the balance in favor of going. My gracious, good friend, QuiltingCyclist. Had a shareable room within rock-throwing distance of the Austin Convention Center - so off to Austin I went. Firstly, I had lots of fun! We chatted about her process and what is upcoming for her. I met Andres (aka Mad Tesla). Crazy talented, crazy smart and crazy nice!
