January OMG

It's been a while not only since I've posted, but also since I've really focused on my sewing.  This year I re-upped for another stint in Stash Bee after taking last year off.  I've also made a sort-of master list of projects to focus on this year.  For another post ...

January ALOYF Finish--Charm Topper

I'm really happy with this finish.  I started it about a year ago when A Quilting Life posted these pics.  I had a couple mini-charm packs hanging around, but I didn't get it finished in time for Sherri's parade, and it was set gently aside ...

Sewvivor - A Reformed Heath'n - Heather Karr

I was so excited when RachH announced that this year's edition of Sew-vivor is for quilters.  I've only been quilting since 2012, but this is where I've found my creative outlet.  I still enjoy myriad other crafts, but they've definitely taken a backseat to my love of fabric and quilting.

Modern Traditional Challenge

I stumbled across this challenge that was posted at the beginning of this month.  When I saw the theme, I had a couple of ideas about what I wanted to do.  I went to my LQS in search of the right fabrics and fell in love with Dear Stella's Spring Street.  I've been using Sketch for quite a while now as accents in my bee blocks and round robins.  I really like the feel of solid movement that the screen-like tone-on-tone lines create.  A lot of the time they have the same overall feel as quilters linen.

Swooning for Solids

Welcome to my contribution for the Kona Blog Hop.  I've been excited about this project since I signed up.

Many, many thanks to Madam Samm, our fearless leader who shares her love by organizing these amazing sharing opportunities.  Thanks also to Robert Kauffman, Amanda Murphy and Aurafil who have sponsored us this time around.  But biggest kudos go to Carol, who has been our tireless cheerleader for this hop.  She is great at communication, is filled with patience and and has been truly understanding and flexible.

PS ... Last Finish of 2013

A while ago, Rhett asked me to make a quilt for him.  I've had some trouble deciding what to do because he doesn't like busy patterns and does like plain colors.  Not a fun combo for me to work with :)  I know I'll get to it soon, but it certainly wasn't going to happen before Christmas. So, I went looking for Plan B.
