    Chunkies and Quilting

    September 15, 2008 - By 


    I got a couple of chunky books put together finally. I was thinking that all of the pages would fit in one book but my O-wires weren’t big enough, hence the two books.

    My other current project is my recycled flannel and denim ragtime quilt. Much to my surprise, it’s going together quickly. I have all the pieces cut and am assembly line sewing them. With any luck I’ll have the whole works finished by the end of the week.

    Charms, beads and quilts, oh my!

    March 2, 2008 - By 

    After nearly a week of no arts or crafts I was starting to go through withdrawals.

    There has been quite a bit of chatter on the Yahoo groups I belong to about charms lately. I made these since ones today from some MahJong tiles I had laying around.
    My only question is: Do I have these in the proper direction?

    The next item I played around with was some more paper beads. I had used up almost all I had made before. They are so simple and very addictive to make. Now I really want to make some smaller ones. I’m thinking if I get some coffee stirring straws, they’ll be thin enough to make some small beads on.

    I have also started cutting fabric for a quilt. I’ve made an all flannel quilt using this pattern but this time I am planning on doing flannel on one side and denim on the other. Today in celebration of a 16lb weight loss…I cut up 3 pairs of jeans to put to good use in the quilt!

    UPDATE: 26LB WEIGHT LOSS NOW!!!
