Today marks my 600th post!


A few days ago I realized that I was coming up on my 600th post. When I started this blog almost 3 years ago I couldn't imagine it would become what it has.


Some big moments over the last 600 posts.

Making my first dress.




Having my first tutorial on the Moda Bake Shop







Announcing that I'd be moving across the country.


Telling you about my book, Skip the borders.


Too many to list them all!!

So to celebrate I'm having a giveaway. I'm going to give my 6 new patterns to one lucky reader. Yummy, Varsity & the four I haven't even shared with you yet. {I will in just a few days!!}

My lovely husband cuts my fabric for me as I am still scared of the permanence of making those cuts and I am waiting for him to have some free time so I can work on a table runner for a newly minted homeowner friend and a pillowcase for my Mom.

Julie - I've read Marie Bostwich's stories about Cobbled Court Quilts - there are 5 SEW far. In the recent issue of Quiltmaker, a pattern is featured, Path to Cobbled Court. I've been working on this and am ready to quilt it. I was at a quilt store this week where Marie was giving a lecture and signing. I now have all my book signed and a beautiful label to put on the back of the quilt. These stories are wonderful books to read by a great storyteller and beautiful lady.

I'm currently working on a crazy quilt with fabric I've been collecting since I was in junior high. I'm chopping up the very uneven and poorly sewn I did through school and sewing it back together with new bits added in.

Congrats on 600 posts!

I just got done organizing patterns etc, I am getting ready to order Yummy from Pink Chalk Fabrics as soon as they post it Monday morning (they gave me a heads up when I asked.) Now I am getting ready to sew a "Pockets to Go" by Atkinson Designs to match the interior of my new Prius - it has a shelf down below the console and I don't want stuff just tossed down there.

Rachel said...

Congratulations on 600 posts! here's to 600 more!

I'm working on far too many things. A wedding quilt for a friend, a baby quilt and a wall hanging, and that's just the quilts...

Rosyquilter said...

I am working on my list of 14 quilts that are tops and need to be finished into useable quilts. So far have 6 that are quilted and bound so almost halfway! I piece all winter while we enjoy the Arizona sunshine and then return to the Pacific Northwest and wait for the sun to appear here so perfect time to turn flimsies into finished quilts.

at this very moment I'm making Black Apple dolls for two little girls arriving from Africa in a month's time--as well as making each of them a cuddle quilt to go with--of course :)

nclauri said...

I am quilting a D9P top. Hopefully I will finish it this week so I can start on my next top. I will be using a jelly roll for the first time. So I am excited. Thanks for the opportunity to win your beautiful patterns.

Wendy said...

I had grand plans to get started on curtains for my kids' bedrooms, but alas I am 39 weeks pregnant and ended up with high blood pressure, so no sewing for me right now!

mypridenjoy said...

Gee, where do I begin...I just finished basting three quilts, so machine quilting in definitely in my future. I also have completed cutting fabrics for two quilts and I'm working on a quiet/learning book for the granddaughter of a friend. I don't like to get bored!

I am working on trying to figure out which project to start on next....placemats for my mom, another quilt top, or recovering 2 chairs that we got today from my grandmother-in-law.

Naomi said...

oh dear, probably the last to enter. :)
I'm currently working on some little teacup blocks which will become coasters/mug rugs for an event at our church. After that, my 4 year old is rather desperate for a tinker bell and cinderella dress...way beyond my skill level, but I told her I would give it a try. :)

terrieannie said...

I am making a disappearing 9 patch in Papillon for a friend who is relocating to Denver soon...boo-hoo!

Margaret said...

Congratulations on all your accomplishments and your 600th post. I am currently making potato chip bags. They are so much fun. They are called potato chip bags because you can't make just one and they were right.

KatheG said...

Congratulations!! Love all your work and please keep it going. What am I not working on right now - cleaning. I just finished an outdoor canopy, back and seat cushion and a couple of pillows for a friend who has an older outdoor swing - that was a lot of work and need to rest before I start another 4 cushion covers for outdoor chairs for another friend. Thanks for the giveaway.

Andrea said...

Wow congrats. What an accomplishment. I'm currently working on a swoon quilt.

sue said...

I'm working on a wall hanging made from one of the blocks in Modern Blocks. It's mostly black which I have found difficult to work with!
