Honestly, I didn’t think I could get 4 quilts finished between mid October and before Christmas. Okay, so one was well on its way and by the first week of December it was with its new owner. But that still left a large lap sized quilt and 2 large wall hangings – 3 feet by…
Christmas is coming!
Our internet went out yesterday and it will be at least 2 days before it’s fixed due to the weekend so hopefully I won’t have too many misspellings… I’m on my phone. That means the obvious probably won’t line up. It’s been a pretty exciting week! I wanted to have a minimum amount of sales…
Finishing up 4 quilt tops
I must’ve temporarily lost my mind when I signed up for this. I have 3 tops finished with a 4th one almost ready and then my plan is to quilt them one right after the other…and then bind 2 of them and have facing on the other 2. Oh and have all of that done…
You know you’re in Texas when…
I was gone somewhere every night this past week so I’ve been playing catchup today on sewing the quilt top that I’m working on. The friend that I’m making this for had asked if I could put a few things in the white diamonds – I think she eventually ended up with about 10 things…
Posey Quilts grand opening!
Hear ye! Hear ye! Posey Quilts has officially opened its doors and is ready for business! We literally just finished up the website redesign which means many of the products are still being added (that’s a manual process, adding them each individually) but we at least have a start. We are starting off by selling…
Acres of diamonds
I remember in business school years ago one of the phrases we were taught about was called “acres of diamonds”. The phrase was created by Russell Conwell in the 1800’s and it meaning was each person can find their own “acres of diamonds” in their own back yard. Close to where they live, work, have…
Geometric Quilt
I should have big news the next time I have an update. Okay, I can’t wait. I’m starting a new venture. I’ll be selling digitized quilting designs for computerized long armers. Once I get about 1500 designs uploaded then I’ll also be adding in laser cut quilt kits. No time frame on that second part…
Blazing Star – finally quilted
Whew! I am finally starting to catch up with everything that’s fallen by the wayside for the past 18 months. I can’t remember if I mentioned this before, but I decided to go back to my alma mater for another degree. Silly me – I thought as a mature adult, I’d get the work done…
Cleanliness is next to happiness
Hi everyone! I’m finishing up my final semester and I’m ending on a really busy note. Each of my classes has a paper due typically each week. These can range from 4 to 20 pages each for 3 separate classes and then there are discussion boards and responses which account for another 2 + pages…
applique progress
I bought a jacket pattern a couple of weeks ago from Indygo Junction. You can find the pattern here. I had heard about rayon batik and thought that sounded like the perfect fabric weight for a summer jacket. Since I was at our LQS for the monthly machine quilting bee, I took the pattern with…
wrapping fabric
I finally decided my fabric had the best of me. I don’t have to have things completely spotless, but clutter drives me a little nuts. I’ve seen several people suggest that they wrap their fabric on comic book boards so I bought a pack of 100 and thought that would take care of the problem….
