#APQResolution Project for February
I’m happy to say that this month’s UFO for the American Patchwork & Quilting UFO Challenge has only been a UFO for a year (or maybe two?) and even better yet, it’s something that I made for myself. It’s a travel sewing kit from the tutorial on the “lots of …

Creative Play Date
Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s also Creative Play Date Day. I’m not feeling very creative today because I am still getting over the plague that my daughter brought home from school so I decided I would just play today. For me that means working on personal quilts rather than professional ones, …

#APQSResolution – June
I know, it’s July. But, I just put the finishing touches on my UFO for June for the American Patchwork & Quilting UFO Challenge. This piece was a machine quilting sample from years ago that just needed a binding. It got one and now I can donate it to my …

2016 Projects – #APQResolution – April
It’s an embarrassment to me just how many things in my UFO drawer only require 5 – 10 minutes worth of work to finish them. This month’s UFO needed a hanging sleeve and then needed to be hung. The quilt itself has been finished since 2008? 2009? And now, it …

2016 Projects – #APQResolution March
This UFO really embarrasses me. It was inspired by the view of a neighbor’s tree from my third floor quilt studio window in a house we sold in 2009. I made the quilt in 2008. (Yes, that’s eight years ago. Or at least 7, because I might have made the …
