bored and boring
I like to show pics of new supplies…new exciting exotic supplies. But these things I picked up this weekend are a very accurate representation of what’s going on around here so what the heck…
Bland pancake. Absolutely nothing is new. Same cold snowy weather, same stuck in the house with a toddler suffering, same no house for us anywhere story, same old.
I am doing some paper piecing. A slow pokey project for a slow pokey life.

maybe not quite so small
I finished the first doll quilt. I’m in serious love with this quilt that Jen showed from the Tokyo International Quilt Festival and so I thought I’d try a teeny tiny version of it. At first I

ok Katie, no peeking beyond this point. (I know she won’t. She’s the good sister. The one who only halfheartedly helped me dig through closets for hidden Christmas presents when we were kids.)… More
a pojagi artist
I discovered, through a comment left on one of my pojagi posts, the work of this wonderful pojagi artist – Jung Yul Park. Her work is so beautiful I had to share. The grey one is incredible and here’s a little sunny yellow to get you going this morning.

I speak for the trees
I finished up that baby quilt I was working on this morning and it just came out of the dryer all nice and crinkly. In the end I decided to forgo the tying and french knots plan. I kept trying it, different colors, different yarns and it just wasn’t working. It wasn’t nearly as dramatic as I’d envisioned and it made the quilt too folky instead of the more modern look I was going for. I moved the trees around … More
