This Summer’s Favorites
Blog-tember Saturday, Sept. 3: Now that summer’s at an end, share a list of favorites from the season! For this post I thought I would use mostly pictures. I hope you enjoy. Looking back at my pictures you would think I spend all of my time on the mountains. While I try to get out […]
Current Goals
The Blog-tember challenge. Friday, Sept. 2: Share a list of your current goals. Complete the NH 4k footers. There are 48. I have 10 left. At least I hope so. I am writing this early, scheduled to publish on Sept 2. But I will be hiking Mt Washington. If all goes well, I’ll post pictures. […]
TSNEM – August 2016
August– Printmaking; fabric or paper I want to make a quilt for a fund raiser for the Baker River Valley Snowmobile Club. My idea is to use the signs along the trails as blocks. But how do I make those signs into quilt blocks. I don’t applique well. I don’t really want to embroider it. […]
FAL2016 3rd Quarter
I have two quilts plan to finish this quarter. One is from last quarter. I got the borders done but didn’t get it quilted. I have been washing the backing but can’t get it to stop bleeding. I have found a tutorial on pre-washing that I have used. It has been to hot to boil […]
FAL 2016 – 2nd Quarter
Again, I didn’t finish all of my 2nd quarter goals. But I probably wouldn’t have gotten any of them done if it were not for this challenge. I did finish the binding from the 1st quarter though. I got the 2 mini’s quilted, but I haven’t finished the binding. I know they are small and […]
FAL2016 2nd Quarter
I have chosen 4 more projects for the Finish A Long 2016. Again I have chosen 2 mini’s, an unfinished top, and a top needing quilting. The mini’s each need a border and quilting. I love the little nine by nine patch. I must make more of these. The sampler needs borders. Just haven’t figured […]
Finish A Long 2016

Add a Name to a Pantograph
I like to put kids names on quilts while quilting them. It makes the quilt more personal. I have one customer who is making quilts for her grandchildren. I have quilted their names onto each. I find adding words or names to free motion quilting fairly easy. The biggest problem I have run into is […]
TSNEM – January 2016
This is my first post for Try Something New Every Month 2016. January’s theme is quilting. Since I have tried just about everything I have wanted to when it comes to quilting, it was difficult to figure out what to try. I have been interested in the zentangle movement since it started. I just haven’t […]
