Now that the Public and Judge Winners have been announced it’s time to continue the fun with the Random Drawing and Public Comment Winners. I’ll start with the Random Drawing Winner. As always I headed over to www.random.org and typed in 31 for the number of comments I had and here’s what happened: 28. szuzu1969 […]

Bloggers Block-A-Palooza: Block 4 Gingham Pinwheel
I’m continuing to have a lot of fun with the Bloggers Block-A-Palooza. Yesterday the fourth block was posted on Cherry House Quilts Blog. I love the design she came up with and I had fun picking out my four fabrics. Here’s what I came up with: I combined batik’s with a commercial print to create […]
Fall in Love with Handmade – Trunk Show at the Glitter Workshop
Something truly amazing has happened today. My daughter Cedi wasn’t feeling well so instead of her and Capri going to Grandma’s for the day just Capri went and Cedi stayed home with me. Anyway – typically on my girl-free days I spend the day in my studio creating – that couldn’t happen with an under-the-weather […]
Project QUILTING – Zip City
Since I’ve taken myself out of prize winners I figured it’s okay to post my critiques before the public voting closes at 7pm tonight (don’t forget to VOTE and COMMENT so you can win too!) Judge 1: This piece is really fun. I don’t think it really matters how you hang this piece; it works […]

Quilter’s Block A-Palooza #3: Shoofly Geese

Names, Names, It’s all about the Name!
This really doesn’t have to do with my quilting/crafting life but I need as much advice as I can get. Here’s the story: So, I’m at 28 weeks today and of course – we still don’t have a name (and as a disclaimer, when we do get a name it won’t be shared until after […]
Time to VOTE for Project QUILTING’s – What’s in a Name Challenge
I am so happy to see that the creativity in this challenge didn’t scare many away – and we even added some brand new quilters! I personally had a lot of fun developing and creating an idea from something as simple as ‘a cities name’. Now, us quilters, get a little break but we need […]
