- About Me
- I live in a small town in Ohio and we just celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary. We have 2 adult children and one granddaughter who's my pride and joy. I've been quilting for just about 9 years. I'm still learning (so don't look too close) but I really enjoy trying new techniques. Earlier this year, I was fortunate to have been chosen as a member of Quiltmaker Magazine's Scrap Squad. It has been quite an adventure; I'm learning a lot and having lots of fun!

I've started a mystery quilt using some neutral fabric I bought at CT quite some time ago on clearance -- don't even know what the collection was nor the name of the fabric. It is a white background with beige basket weave pattern. I need about 1/4 yard more or I'll have to make a substitution -- and since it's a mystery I don't know where would be a good place to substitute! My picture's not good but if anyone would be willing to sell a quarter yard or so, I'd be thrilled! Thanks!…

Help please, ladies.
Some time ago - okay quite a long time ago - the Golden Thimble website had a free BOM of Quilt barns. The pattern for the barn was the same on each block but there was an opening to insert a quilt block (as rural barns are often decorated). The quilt consisted of 9 blocks with 9 different 4-1/2" inserts. I have finished 8 blocks and in going through my UFO's I found them and thought this would be an easy quilt to finish up.
However.....I have misplaced…

The new Scrap Squad reveals have started. There was one in the magazine, one last week, and mine today. Take a look! One is a holiday quilt and it makes me feel all peppermint and sugarplums! Mine has an autumn palette....only one more pattern to go!

As many of you know, I was privileged to have been chosen as a member of Quiltmaker Magazine's first Scrap Squad 2011. Our term is almost up as we are working on our final project. It apparently was a successful first endeavor because the magazine is forming a new group for 2012. The announcement…
New Scrap Squad reveal

Today's the reveal day for my latest Scrap Squad Quilt. This one was really out of my comfort zone....not a pattern I would have normally done on my own. I guess that's what makes being a Scrap Squad member such fun! If you'd like to see the write up, go to http://www.quiltmaker.com/blogs/quiltypleasures/…

I was impressed with the quilt designs @ the show.
well what I saw, But I remember last year's & a great show.
My layer was 10.00 off--but you got a great deal on yours.
I don't do group trips well, energy level is a problem, will look forward to all the news from the Col. show~!
Hi Carol,
I know it's been awhile since hearing from me--lots of illness etc & I couldn't sign into CT or Ohio Quilter's for about a week...no idea why.
anyway, I read that you went to the Coshocton Quilt show.
I was there too, but didn't realize it closed at 5:00--so only got to look for an hour--boo hoo.
I did buy a layer cake & 2 charm packs from Neff's Loft. maybe getting there so late was a bonus on the items...really good deals...ha
I plan to do a scrappy quilt called magic squares...along the lines of a Disappearing 9 patch but less cutting.
ok hope all is well with you, sounds like u have been busing quilting
Love ya
Patsy
Sounds like a plan...let me know when you are available.
Hi Carol, Hope we can get together sometime this summer too. Why don't you come up some weekend and we'll spend the weekend quilting? Or just talking?

Hi Carol, Between Indy and doctor appointments I haven't done a good job keeping in touch with everyone. I spend more time on the computer answering emails, taking care of Indy, and going from one dr. appt. to another, that I don't get to sew very much. Last night I posted a message about a quilt retreat to Holmes County that I was just crazy enough to organize! Sometimes I could kick myself, but I really am looking forward to it. I love going to retreats, spending a weekend with other quilty friends in quilt country...what could be better?!?!
Indy recently was very sick...ate some peanuts/shells that the neighborhood squirrels left and then a helping of worms that were on the driveway after it had rained earlier that day. He quit eating and drinking for several days which resulted in an iv for 3 days to rehydrate him. Now that he is better he still goes outside and looks for things he can eat.
As for me...my feet, ankles and legs are swollen most of the time and I can't get shoes on most of the time; and I'm having problems with acid reflux and my throat. I'm still quilting and sewing, just in limited increments. Some days I forget about all the pain and sew all day. The next day I'm down for the count.
I hope you are doing well. I haven't been keeping up with the site but hope to do better from now on.
Hugs, Linda
I am told that there will also be a BED TURNING on Saturday ( at our quilt show) at 11 AM. They were putting up signs so I don't think they will change their minds. That will be good for you & buddies! I get to go over today and take a sneak peak. Can't wait.
Hi Carol..yes I am still job hunting! I haven't done my quilting of my top either,,just waiting for the right pattern,or better yet, my DH to do it for me. I have a short arm I bought years ago, but I am not very good at it either,,then my shoulder gave out, so he is better at it than me.
We are having a hard time with his job situation,,he isn't crazy about it,,but now he won't quit, and can't seem to find something that isn't a hundred miles away from home. but other jobs don't pay that well. I know he can't continue doing this job. he is in too much pain,,,but with me not having a job altogether, not that is is hard,,but there isn't alot out ther right now,,so it seems like he is stuck.
I have to put my thinking cap on with what I want to do next,,I am not going to do what I have always done, (hairdressing) cuz I hurt myself before. my worked my body when I was very small and now I won't put my body thru any more pain.I doesn't seem to want to work any more for me,,so I need to be careful on what I pick out for jobs.
sewing doesn't hurt it and neither does cooking so that is what I do. but now to find a job like that.!!!
I hope uou have a good time on your mini vacation,,I had my daughter in a dance recital for years we loved it.
thanks for the kind words,,for my quilt,,now if I could just get a job doing this I will be all set.!!
going off to start our week. talk to you soon. ~ Joanna
Hello Carol...Thank you for the kind words on my Weaver Fever Blocks. This is a fun pattern. It is really amazing that just one block repeated creates the "weave" pattern. Hope you do make one and when you do I would love to see a picture.
Hello there,,are you ok? I haven't heard from you in a while,,
Joanna
Great! I'm glad it worked. :D I did check out Gwen's page - she is an artist in more ways than one, WOW! I really got a kick looking at her work shop and quilting stand. (Lust!) :D What are "inchies"?
