June 25, 2009 ~ Today we talked about how to take your projects with you when you go on vacation, work, in the car, doctor’s office. . . wherever!!

First – Thank you to everyone who left comments this week.

Special thanks to Emily for sharing her wonderful project with us.  Leave a comment and let Emily know what you think.  I love the colors and the diamond design.  Emily got the pattern from a ’07 edition of American Patchwork.

I would like to learn how to dye fabrics – please pass on any good books you know about the subject.

I finished the blocks for the Facebook quilt block swap.  I did pick up the wrong kind of sweaters for the flowers, but I made them work.  I think they came out pretty good.

I will be on vacation, in the DC area, for the next week – returning on the 7th.  The next podcast will not be posted until then.

In the meantime – keep sending your comments and emails.  Work is giving me a new phone where I will be able to access email, internet, etc…. everything at all times!

Please send me your ideas for the Question fo the week – This week’s question comes from Patricia.

Stay inspired!  We will talk again soon!

Episode 10 ~ Pre-Washing Fabric

May 25, 2009 in Podcasts

May 25, 2009 ~ Today we talked about whether or not you should pre-wash your fabric.

I haven’t posted for the last three weeks because I had a terrible cold that had me in bed for five days.  Ever since then, I just hadn’t felt well.  Plus, I was overloaded with work that was keeping me very busy.

I did manage to finish two blocks of my frolic applique quilt and one more hardanger coaster.  I have two coasters left to go!
