Making Scrap Quilts from Stash http://blog.maryquilts.com Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:52:49 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Another outing with Susan and Wendi http://blog.maryquilts.com/2010/09/02/another-outing-with-susan-and-wendi/ http://blog.maryquilts.com/2010/09/02/another-outing-with-susan-and-wendi/#comments Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:52:49 +0000 Mary http://blog.maryquilts.com/2010/09/02/another-outing-with-susan-and-wendi/ Breakfast first and after Susan showed us her current quilt in progress made with vintage blocks, we went to SR Harris and Quilted Treasures Quilt shop. I thought it was very fun to cut my own fabrics at SR Harris!

Sorry for the blurred photos…I was using the cell phone.

I did this last year and it’s by the same woman who does the Christmas Journal class that I participate in each year. September is going to be VERY busy so I’m using a simple iPad app this year rather than Photoshop Elements.

Last year’s journal

You saw these photos last night but I used them for my first page today.

Maybe…. http://blog.maryquilts.com/2010/08/31/a-new-bike-maybe/ http://blog.maryquilts.com/2010/08/31/a-new-bike-maybe/#comments Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:55:46 +0000 Mary http://blog.maryquilts.com/2010/08/31/a-new-bike-maybe/ I’ve been having trouble riding the distances I want and Keith and I have trails we want to try out around Minneapolis that are just too far for me so we’re going to look at a “hybrid” bike this weekend. It has pedal asset that will help me ride longer and get up those hills without causing my arrhythmia to kick in. It won’t be as much exercise as my current bike but actually if I’m going longer distances it might be…..

But I’m heading home today and I’ll work on them while I’m waiting and on the plane.

It’s on my list of quilts to make one day. I’m still playing around learning to use the TouchDraw app on my iPad.

In the meantime, Mom decided she wanted to make a version of the new quilt I drafted on Thursday so we did a little fabric shopping this afternoon. She wasn’t sure which background she wanted to use so we came home and I cut out some of the blocks so she could see both options.

Which would you choose?

It’s called Touch Draw and look what I did on the plane!
