I'd rather be quilting: July 2013
http://knockout007.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
I'd rather be quilting. A blog about my cats, geology and other stuff that I do when I'd rather be quilting. Wednesday, 10 July 2013. Today's post is to share progress on my current addiction.English Paper Pieced hexagons using Kaffe Fassett fabrics. It all started, as usual, down at my local quilt shop, Stitch. Broke into my Kaffe stash. I do love me some Kaffes. So rich and chaotic and bright! Before you know it, you're whip-stitching your hexagons together! Essential tools: my side table in the lounge...

Poppies and Daisies: January 2014
http://poppiesanddaisies.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 25, 2014. Now I can show you the finished project. It is another version of Gertie's Portrait Blouse. A little prim and proper, but will be sweet with jeans. The fabric is a piece of vintage cotton from Auntie Jenny's stash. Possibly Liberty. Gertie's original blouse has wee cap sleeves all-in-one with the bodice. I cut back the shoulders and drafted my own sleeves. I used darts instead of tucks to shape the front and lenghthened the blouse a fair bit. Saturday, January 18, 2014. I have...

Poppies and Daisies: November 2014
http://poppiesanddaisies.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. I'm out in the garden with Fergus and Mouse. We are prowling around the garden together. I pad pics are not up to par, but portability and instant blogging is fun. I've got to watch Fergus as he escaped yesterday and has no sense of keeping himself safe, unlike Mouse. Unfortunately the wee devil is very keen to go over the wall. The garden makes me so happy, even weedy and rampant. There are foxgloves taller than me. And just a few glorious blue delphiniums. Yesterday we went o...

Poppies and Daisies: July 2014
http://poppiesanddaisies.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 27, 2014. We are trying to get the front garden under control. Johnny pruned a big rose bush today, and did a great job. I'm hoping he'll help me with some more (hint hint). His dad was brilliant at pruning roses, and I think it might be hereditary. I'm having fortnightly 'cello lessons this term. I'm starting this week, but I have a sore little finger on my left hand, which is important for playing. I'm hoping it will be OK, but it didn't take kindly to gardening today. I planted several ro...

I'd rather be quilting. A blog about my cats, geology and other stuff that I do when I'd rather be quilting. Saturday, 29 September 2012. I have to tell you about my friend, Gabe. She is the reason I am getting back into my quilting and I'm delighted about it! Of course, Flash couldn't resist trying the baking basket out for size. He is such a show off! Links to this post. I am so excited! I'm a bit over pfaffing around with English Paper Piecing, so I'm keen to learn a fast new technique that will help ...
