Piece By Piece: June 2011
http://marilynpiecebypiece.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
June 27, 2011. What's Up and A Fun Day In Chicago. I was very nervous when I had to cut into the fabric to shorten it. I am not afraid when I cut into cotton fabric for a quilt but this was a different story for sure! Stephanie was very patient with me. I have a feeling she had to try the dress on a lot more times for me then she has ever had to for a real seamstress who knows what she is doing! This is a long post with many photos. In fact, this might be my longest post ever! How cool was that! If you a...

Piece By Piece: May 2011
http://marilynpiecebypiece.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
May 25, 2011. When it rains.just move. The other day I found myself with a free afternoon. What was I going to do? Well, to be honest there were a couple of things that I could have done, but I chose to sew instead! It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and the temperature was finally warm enough to go out and sew in my Summer Palace ( I first talked about my Summer Palace here. And then again here. Anyway, I guess I had better get back to what I am really writing about today! My little Green Alien...

Piece By Piece: A Secret Baby Quilt Revealed
http://marilynpiecebypiece.blogspot.com/2011/09/secret-baby-quilt-revealed.html
September 9, 2011. A Secret Baby Quilt Revealed. I realized that I neglected to post about this quilt top. I first talked about it here in this post. It was a big secret then and I just couldn't show it for fear of ruining a surprise. A friend of mine wanted to make a baby quilt for her first grandchild. I found the kit to make this quilt at my Guild's rummage sale and bought it for my friend. I don't think I have ever put so many borders on one quilt, but I love the way it turned out! Please do not copy...

Piece By Piece: August 2009

August 31, 2009. Ribbons Quilts and Flowers. Before I start talking about quilt related things let me warn you not to click on pop ups that tell you that you have a virus. As I stated in my previous post I clicked on a pop up that said I had 41 viruses. Yikes! It looked so official, but it so wasn't! With the help of a friend I believe that my computer is back to normal. What a headache! Now for a couple of quilt related things! I showed you a little glimpse of this quilt here. The border is more of a bu...

May 20, 2009. I told Char that this reminded me of a quilt. Hmmmmmm.she just laughed at me. I wonder why? Every year I just have to have a big red Geranium plant in front of my house. When I see the beautiful pink ones I think for just a minute about getting one of those beauties, but I always end up getting a red one. Why? I don't know for sure. Tradition? I did break a record though this year. The Geranium that I picked out was the second one I looked at. I believe Char was impressed! May 7, 2009.

Yes, Mickey is in there too! A Day in the Cinq...

Piece By Piece: Bow Tie Challenge Prep
http://marilynpiecebypiece.blogspot.com/2011/09/bow-tie-challenge-prep.html
September 2, 2011. Bow Tie Challenge Prep. I had a little bit of time and I. Needed to play with some fabric. In this post. I talked about joining in on Bonnie Hunter's Bow Tie Challenge. I am making my Bow Tie blocks in Indigo Blue and Soldier Blue fabrics with a Cheddar background. I found my missing blues and added them to the stack. Out of curiosity I counted the fabrics. I have 58 different blues that will be in this quilt! That number surprised me but made me happy. The scrappier the better! Oh, I ...

August 15, 2011. I Have To Join In Too! I have been trying to avoid this, but I just can't any more. I have given up. I am joining in. What am I joining? You are going to have to wait a bit for that I guess. First things first! I went out of town this weekend with my dear Hubby to celebrate our 24th Wedding Anniversary. I consider myself blessed to have him as my husband! Along with spending some time together, we did a little shopping too. I found a pair of these neat Crocs tennis shoes! I also purchase...

Piece By Piece: November 2010
http://marilynpiecebypiece.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
November 2, 2010. I love to knit them, I love to wear them. What I don't love is. Making one sock on the regular double pointed needles and then having to make another sock just like the first. It is kind of like de ja vou, like a been there and done that type of feeling. If it has been any length of time between the making of the two socks then I have to remember if I made any changes to the pattern on the first sock. Yikes! So far I have just knitted socks on the DPNs (double pointed needles) from the ...

July 22, 2011. Tillie's Treasure and Design Boards. I don't think I the only quilter who does this, but I tend to have more then one project going on at a time. I can't tell you when I started this quilt from the book "Nickle Quilts", but I know I have pulled it out more then once to work on it. The book authors, Pat Speth and Charlene Thode call these units Small Wonders. I agree! I can stack up the design boards on top of each other and have 6 blocks ready to sew at one time! I was so excited about the...
