I have been on such a productive quilting spree lately that I’ve been terribly remiss about stopping and actually documenting it. In the seven weeks since I finished Squaresville (and there will be an extensive photoshoot for it, I promise), I’ve pieced the entire top of Amy Butler’s Midwest Modern quilt (and didn’t take [...]

Quilting Progress Report: Pookie Edition
My last quilting progress report was two months ago; I had just finished binding “Merry Go Round” and piecing the top for “Prairie Gothic”. Since then, I’ve finished… nothing. Nothing at all. But I have had a lots of irons in the fire, and have been expanding my pipeline of projects well [...]

Ugly City, Under Construction
Quite a few months ago (March, I think?) we went to a quilting convention and expo. We thought it would be super-dorky, but it turned out to be a bacchanal of beautiful fabrics and quilt patterns and marvelousness; we emerged with our life savings greatly depleted but our fabric stash greatly improved. One [...]

We’re Hammering ‘Em Out Here At Maple Hoo
WOOO HOOOO!!! Another finished quilt!
This one is my Jellygirl quilt, made with Tanya Whelan fabrics (mostly Ava Rose), and I’m excited to report that it took me something like a total of seven weeks to finish. I can’t believe how awesome and quick this craft is! Quilting RAWKS!
I am so [...]

Schnookie’s Progress Report: Jellygirl
After Little Miss Threads-of-Fire finished her Nest quilt like two minutes after starting it, I felt the pressure mounting. I needed to get a quilt project done, or all my fragile feelings of self-worth would be shattered. Well, that might be an exaggeration, but I did really want to keep pace. I’ve [...]

Progress Report: Nest
The first progress report of 2009 is a joyous one! The progress I’m here to report on the quilt top for “Nest” is that… drumroll please… it’s finished! Woo-hoo!
I completed the last long seam last night and pressed it this morning. I’m over the moon with happiness for how it turned out. [...]

Progress Report: When Witches Go Riding
One week of working on “When Witches Go Riding” has passed, and I have quite a bit to show for it:
In the past, I’ve struggled with what fibers to use on Prairie Schooler charts. I always did Christmas charts in DMC because of the need for a true Santa Claus red. But for [...]

Progress Report: MFBville Week 11
No, Gentle Reader, I didn’t skip a week of progress — I merely omitted a week wherein I did almost zero stitching. Sigh. It was terrible. I just hit one of those crazy weeks where looking at a chart, let alone threading a needle and figuring out where it needs to go, [...]

Progress Report: MFBville, Week 9
With “November Windows” packed up and sent off to the framer, it’s back to MFBville for me! I’ve now worked on “Village of Hawk Run Hollow” for nine weeks, and have almost four squares finished. The latest one is the blacksmith square. You know, the one with all the stupid-amount-of-color-changes horses? [...]

Progress Report: November Windows
After three weeks of working (two of stitching and one of ripping), I’m pleased to announce that I have finished the “November Windows” piece! Woo-hoo! This brings my 2008 Finished Pieces count to three! How pathetic. But, still, I have an adorable little wintry piece to show for it!
I’m super-pleased with [...]
