I know I posted yesterday, saying that today was going to be a post in my “Tips, Tricks, and Secrets” series, but unfortunately I’ve just been too busy today. Tomorrow though, I’m going to teach you how to make a fun and gorgeous Quilt Top in less that 3 Hours! Yes! Less Than Three Hours! Trust me, you’ll love it! And so will I!
Get ready for a super quilting secret! (Well, not that much of a secret, I’m sure someone already knows!)
For this quilt I decided to just stitch in the ditch to highlight the squares of themed fabric, and I think it worked out quilt nicely!

Okay, people of the internet, I need some help. So, My uncle’s father’s day present is a bit over-due, and I need to quilt it later this week. I was thinking about just stitching in the ditch to make the framed pieces of themed fabric pop! What does everyone else think?

Since everyone seems to love the E Card exploits of my mind as a quilter, and general shenanigans, I figured I would make more!

I’m sitting at my desk going over my schedule for the next two weeks. Trying to figure out when I’m doing interviews for this blog. I have two people lined up, and one of them in quite busy,, and then I’m trying to make some of my previous posts into series because of the positive response I’ve gotten thus far. I’m also going over some of my project schedules and website publicity work. I’m still trying to make this place popular.
