Happy Valentine's Day!

The Striped Heart block. Originally blogged here in 2009!

Used in the Sweet Hearts quilt.

I wish I had time to make another one of these. I have a pretty stripe that will be PERFECT!

To celebrate Valentine's Day both the printed and PDF patterns are 20% off in the store just for today.

More Scrap Bags

Sorting, organizing, and blowing out fabric continues at casa twiddletails.

Pretty much everything in the store is on sale.

I'm also listing most, if not all, scraps on Etsy.

(I announce most Etsy listings and new markdowns on the Facebook page as soon as they happen.)

A New Round Robin - Winter Wonderland

Becky over at Patchwork Posse is hosting another row quilt Round Robin and I've been invited to design a row!

The theme is "Winter Wonderland".

Row instructions will be posted on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month, starting on January 28th and ending July 9th.
There will be a last post on July 15th with finishing ideas and prize winners!

Scrap Bags!

Major spring/moving cleaning has begun!

I've started listing scrap bags on Etsy and will probably continue doing so until I run out of scraps, which could be FOREVER!

2012 Completed Projects

2012 was most definitely a better year than 2011. 2013 may not be as productive.  I have a lot of life changes planned, which are going to take up a whole lot of my time, but will be SO worth it.

1. Granny Square Afghan, 2. Geese in the Forest Quilt, 3. Sand & Surf Baby Quilt, 4. Challenge Quilt, 5. Cherry Love Makeup Bag, 6. 3 dresses, a blanket, and 2 headbands, 7. SewConnected 3 Quilt, 8. Heart Cushion, 9. 12 Days of Christmas Quilt

New Project

I bought this lovely yarn in Houston. It's Silk Garden by Noro. I love the colors, but I'm a little concerned about how loose the "weave" is. I'm using the recommended needles but I wonder if I should switch to thinner ones. The only problem with that is that I probably won't have enough yarn then and this stuff is pricey!
