Yippee

Another receiving blanket. Another UFO... the cowboy print is a flannel and the saddle stripe is a textured cotton.

Price: $35.00 

Maine

See post further down about Lynn's sale... I finished this with the thought of seeing if anyone would buy it. I didn't quilt it, just attached to a flannel back. I love how I pieced the borders due to not having quite enough fabric to make the pieces "whole."

Result, a more interesing quilt. 

Paper Piecing?

Nope. This is one of my first "quilts" and I managed to come up with this without even knowing about paper piecing. But I still like it.

I sometimes worry that with being exposed to more quilts, patterns, and ideas, my stuff becomes more typical. Less original.

Othertimes, I think, it's all been done before.

UGLY!

This looked soooo much better on paper. When I drafted up this design I really loved it. But something was lost in the process.

UGH.
I'm shocked I'm sharing this with the general public. But I think it serves as a reminder that not everything goes as planned/invisioned... and who knows what I will do to it to try to remedy it... but I do promise to show the results.

For better. Or for worse. 

For Sale!

I'm finishing up a bunch of projects with the hope of selling some at a friend's "Christmas Craft" sale.

I'm thinking I will ask $70-80 for this one. I really like it and it will be hard to see it go. 

$34.00?

This is a receiving blanket size throw for a small child or baby. No quilting, just a cotton fabric sewn to a flannel backing. 

Think Pink!

I know, this may be a little difficult to visualize... but I have been commissioned to design a pink quilt for someone's friend who is celebrating their 5th year of being cancer free. The majority of the quilt will be the darker pink.

I hope it will turn out to be a very modern looking quilt.

Fingers are crossed. 

Right

Stain samples applied directly to the freshly sanded floor. I went with the darker one on the right. It looks more red in person than here. Due to the front bedrooms having different types of wood and pretty extensive damange, I was afraid to go any lighter.

I love how you can really see the grain of the wood.

I'm in love. 

Before

This is a shot of the end of the front hallway and the two bedrooms. These two rooms were the worse. They were covered in a seafoam green carpet... and plenty of what I can only assume to have been "pet" damage managed to make it thru to the hardwoods.

Each bedroom floor was a different stain than the rest of the hardwoods in the house. Odd. Maybe that is why they were under 1980's carpet? 

During

Well. I've loaded all my pixs. Ready to document the process... to discover, I never got around to taking an "after" pixs.

After one week and three layers of poly...thane, I am very happy with the results and would recommend these guys. A final result pixs will come.

Eventually.
