Thank you Janice! I think I fixed the blog link by just redoing it. Cheers.

Betty Jo, the link to your blog doesn't seem to be working, but I did read your post by going to your website. Congratulations on receiving a ribbon for Canterbury Knight; it's a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us. You are truly an inspiration.

Here's my weekend blog. post. Happy weekend everyone.

Terry I just noticed that my comment on your last blog didn't seem to show up. Don't know what I did wrong this time but I was happy to hear more about your trip and the chickens.
The chicken quilt you've been working on looks so similar to the real ones at the window that I think you have a good headstart on how to make a wonderful quilt. And I like your cute selfie! There. I think that covers everything I said.

I finished a small embroidery "gift" project. . .49 times! You can read about it here!

I'm off to check Nancy's tutorial and Betty Jo's finish!

Nancy, Nicely done tutorial. Can't think of anything myself now, but maybe later. It's very clear and easy to understand.

Hi all -

I just wrote a new blog post that is a tutorial on a quilt-as-you-go technique for adding borders to a finished quilt top. If interested, you can take a look at it here.

I'd like to add more tutorials to my blog, so if you have a technique you want me to demonstrate, just let me know. I'll see if I can figure it out and write it up. I love trying to figure things out!

Thanks!

I just published a new blog post : Spiral Galaxy Completed and a Few Thoughts. The completion of the galaxy quilt has cleared the way for me to now make the quilt my oldest son designed for me. It's a little scary to make...LOL...It's related to the knights of the round table and has a celtic design border. The border is the most difficult thing to figure out how to make. I'm not sharing the whole design, but I will probably share little bits here and there. I had the background he designed, which is castle walls, printed at Spoonflower. I will be detail quilting that and adding a lot of interesting, but perhaps difficult, appliques onto that background and then the celtic borders. My goodness! He gave me the threads and fabrics too. This was my birthday present in March and I have been chipping away at digitizing some of the required machine embroidery objects since then. I also have to dye a piece of Radiance cotton/silk, because Kaufman doesn't make a dark enough green. He gave me prepared for dye Radiance.

He just might, Betty Jo! I think it would be a fun quilt to make. . .just won't be putting it on my to do list any time soon. One chicken quilt at a time! tee tee!!!

Terry, I double dog dare you to make a David Taylor-esque chicken quilt from the three girls on the window as inspiration. I'm sure you can do it. I bet if you got in touch with him he'd even give you some suggestions.

Carla, I agree about ala David Taylor!!
