Quilt Finishes

I've finished machine quilting the little flower quilt and sewn the binding on, so it will be mailed out today to cheer someone up :-)

The star log cabin is finished and mailed out. Sorry for the bad photos, it was such a big quilt I had a hard time finding a good place to photograph it.

I put a corgi label on the back.

There's something wonderful about making a soft, warm quilt and then giving it away! Speaking of that, I'm off to make a few baby quilts.

Here's hoping that you have time for fiber/fabric today,
Judy

A Little About Me

I'm a quilter/knitter/spinner/weaver who enjoys interacting with other creative people from all over the world.

Being outside to enjoy the Idaho scenery means that quite often you'll find me cycling along the Boise River, hiking the foothills with my two dogs, or skiing when there's snow.

Creating unique things with my hands is very satisfying to me so I spend a lot of my time quilting, weaving, knitting, spinning or dyeing/painting yarn or fabric.

My hope is that I can be a blessing to others by sharing the work of my hands.
Take care,
Judy

A quilt will warm your body and comfort your soul.

A day without smiling is a wasted day.

"Let everyone mind his own business, and endeavor to be what he was made. Why should we be in such a desperate haste to succeed and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." Henry David Thoreau

Enjoy the little things in life. One day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

"If it isn't fun, it isn't worth doing." Wharton Esherick

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Reinhold Niebuhr

"The magic was in the act of crafting beautiful, usable items for myself and others. Investing time and energy in making a pillow, quilt, or scarf seemed like the gift that kept on giving."Malka Dubrawsky

God stitches the fabric of our lives according to His purpose and perfect pattern in order to shape us into what He wants us to be.

"The label thing is dangerous, because when you think you're a 'whatever-your-label-is,' then you have to be a 'whatever' expert. And when you're an expert, there's no room for error. There's no chance for discovery. There's no 'anything-is-possible' because the expert has explored all the possibilities and the expert knows exactly how it should be done. Gone is the magic. Gone is the spontaneity. Gone is the mistake that often becomes the best art."Nancy Slonim Aronie

About dyeing: " I really made the most progress when I decided not to fear failure. This freed me to pour with abandon and my results were bolder and more exciting to me than ever before." Sandy Sitzman

"The only place where housework comes before needlework is in the dictionary." Mary Kurtz

Our lives are like quilts-bits and pieces, joy and sorrow, stitched with love.

Those who sleep under a quilt, sleep under a blanket of love.
