A REALLY USEFUL TECHNIQUE


Ages ago us less modern quilters learned new techniques by watching Alex Anderson  and Billie Lauder on TV. Yes there was TV before You Tube! Billie has THE most amazing way of creating 2 nine patch blocks with each cut and construction. Some times when I am in between projects and I can't quite figure out what to start next, I make these units. Nine patch blocks are very versatile and making a lot of them is time well spent. Enjoy!

MORE MOORE CHAIRS


I don't know about you, but sometimes I am literally driven to put into cloth what I see in my head. I won't rest until I get to that certain place when you just know it is going to work..... or not. I am almost there and I am enjoying the process.

ANYONE UP FOR A QUILT RETREAT?







Sewing alone in your own space can be good.
But sometimes you need to escape the chaos.



Sometimes you need to get away with the girls!
.That's what quilt retreats are for. A lot of sewing, laughter, fun and food. Click on retreat information on the right side to get all the details. Did I mention PAJAMA PARTY?????www.http:/sewcalgal.blogspot,com

MOORE CHAIRS

I have not a clue where this is going but it had better be good since I've spent this afternoon creating it. I started cleaning the sewing room, got as far as the cutting table and came across a drawing of a chair, buried under some fabric I was looking for last week. You know how that goes don't you? Oh well, this is labor day so I won't belabor the point of procrastination. I think I'll make some more chairs.
