I’ve been working on my Facebook page for the better part of the day, updating all of my photos and links. Some of them still went to my old blog address. I wondered why I was still getting hits on that site.

While I’ve updating my facebook page for Eric The Quilter, I’ve been going through all of my old quilt tops I have already completed and the few I have that are almost done. This leads me to my next point, which is my next project. I loved this newer quilt almost above anything I have ever done, so I have decided my next piece is going to involve traditional patterns with a new twist.

Has anyone used Electric Quilt before?

I’m just curios as to what people have to say about it. I personally have never used it, but I do know someone who has it and raves about it. She told me that if I was ever going to be interested in selling quilt block patters (which I am), that I would need to get it. I know it would be a great upgrade from the way I currently design quilts. Currently I use paint and a grid pattern, so almost anything would be an upgrade. I suppose as my quilting gets more complex the graph paper just won’t cut it anymore.

So, that is the question I have to pose to the internet nation: What do you think of Electric Quilt?

Also: What generation would give me the most ‘bang for my buck’.

Thanks in advance!

Hello quilting world! I totally slept in, and I think it was much needed. I have been working on the current project quite incessantly, and I feel I needed a break, but now that I am well rested I shall go eat a banana, and start the quilting again. I should have everything done by the end of today including the boarder. So here is to hoping, and I’ll post as soon as I can!

Love you all!

So, I am loving WordPress and now I have my own domain. I feel like it was a smart move. I can monetize the hits, which means more money for quilting, and means I can eventually add the store link on here so I can sell stuff via this website. I am slightly bummed because the formatting is not as user friendly as Blogger was, but it was a trade off. So, here we are, with a new home, and eventually I’ll have some more people posting besides just me. I happen to know a quilting Maven who just might jump at the chance to pass on her knowledge through my blog. Can’t guarantee anything, but it is a possibility in the future, and I am very excited for it.

Speaking of new additions, I shall also be adding a gallery to showcase all of my work, past and present. This way everyone can track the progress of my works throughout time. I was actually talking to a friend of mine, the aforementioned quilting maven, as she told me how much my work has progressed from simple geometric patterns, to more complex patterns. She told me this while I was b****ing about how much more work this current quilt is versus most of my past quilts. She was right. I look at my first quilt and I see how simple it was compared to my current project. 

So here is to growth over the next year, and to making Quilting my full time profession and not just my hobby!

The Pieces have finally begun to come together. This makes me so happy, last night I felt so unmotivated by this quilt. Now after seeing it with a little more work put in, I am beyond thrilled by it. Still working on a name for it though. Maybe: Frozen Star Collides with a Sea of Blood.

Like I said the name is still a work in progress. Although for some reason, I’m really in the mood for some spring rolls now, so I shall take a break and see if I have the stuff to make some spring rolls, and if not… Then Ramen it is!
