i haven't played with it until today and i think it's a keeper:)<br />

even though i usually don't work with hsts, i have been inspired lately by <a href="http://apriltwoeighty.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">brooke's</a> work, especially <a href="http://apriltwoeighty.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2015-03-01T15:20:00-07:00&max-results=10" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://apriltwoeighty.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2014-06-19T17:10:00-07:00&max-results=10&start=36&by-date=false" target="_blank">this</a>. also, i love low volume. i mean really really love. i took a class with <a href="http://naptimequilter.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">cheryl arkison</a> at quiltcon and it got me looking into her book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Month-Sundays-Friends-Projects-Friendly/dp/1607056968/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1369835541&sr=1-2" target="_blank">a month of sundays</a> and i want to know more of what she has to say about low volume. i love using low volume fabrics in my projects but i'm not always happy with how they look. it's like i have some preconceived idea and i can't recreate it in real life. i see it in others' work, but not usually mine. <sigh> so much to learn,</div>

<br />
so first off ... a lovely year of finishes. i missed january but i think i'm just going to make it under the wire for february. this picture is really nothing because i've barely begun on this project but it's something i promised my spouse that i would make for them:)<br />

these are the bee blocks for june so far. i plan on more sewing today so there may be more later:)<br />

i didn't make any q2 goals for <a href="http://shecanquilt.blogspot.ca/p/2013-finish-long.html" target="_blank">the finish-a-long</a> at <a href="http://shecanquilt.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">she can quilt</a>, but i do plan on some for q3 (i like the linky starts on july 8th)<br />
<br />
i am a member of the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/cheerdgs/" target="_blank">cheer</a> circle of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/dogoodstitches/" target="_blank">do. Good stitches</a> and my quilting month is september. i've been contemplating my design since march 27th <a href="http://thirteenquilts.blogspot.com/2013/03/rachel-made-my-day.html" target="_blank">(the day rachel sent me the email.)</a> i really want to use the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/73379597@N07/7990539971/in/set-72157633187850447" target="_blank">freewheeling block</a> by tacha bruecher from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Blocks-Quilt-Favorite-Designers/dp/1607054450" target="_blank">99 modern blocks</a>. my thought is that the correct and courteous way to do this is to ask her. her website (blog) is not working right now. is it inappropriate to ask her on twitter?<br />

<br />
my first entry is a quilt that i made as a wedding gift for my very best friend. it is the very first quilt that i ever made and actually finished. i decided to make it "2 sided" to be representative of the bride (on one side) and the groom (other side) and their union. the bride is an artist who loves stars and red. the groom is a jazz musician.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) plus quilt: this one has a one piece back and will not be bound (i think some call it the pillow case method. i use <a href="http://www.redpepperquilts.com/2011/09/quilt-without-binding-tutorial.html" target="_blank">this one from red pepper quilts</a>. i've used it for small projects but never a quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i think that is a feasible list to get done in a quarter.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
because i have a small blog and i would love to meet others like me :)</div>
<br /></div>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/73379597@N07/7602963324/in/photostream" target="_blank">bride</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/73379597@N07/7906757042/in/photostream" target="_blank">groom</a> sides of the wedding quilt are done. now it just needs to be basted, quilted and bound. still trying to decide how to quilt this one. any suggestions??? wedding is nov 3.<br />
<br />
i made a mug rug out of a few orphan blocks. just waiting on the binding. (hand sewing is not my strong suit)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/73379597@N07/7602944794/in/photostream" target="_blank">starla</a> is still just a top and a back. waiting to be basted, quilted and bound. (binding is ready tho:))<br />
<br />
bronwyn top is finished. working on the back and binding.<br />
<br />
groove qal -- top in progress. i got all the curve blocks sewn (finished last night). now to start piecing:)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/73379597@N07/7822591194/in/photostream" target="_blank">ny beauty pillow</a> is just waiting on me to finish binding<br />
<br />
plus quilt is still in fabric gathering stage. inspired by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jenib/7865889010/in/pool-1667554@N23" target="_blank">this</a>. i want to donate this one.<br />
<br />
and is seems like a million other projects are brewing in my brain. i am on a self imposed fabric freeze.<br />
as i'm writing this i'm realizing that i need updated pictures.<br />
<br />
so this weekend i hope to:<br />
<br />
start piecing groovy<br />
finish the back and binding for bronwyn<br />
more fabric gathering (from stash) for plus quilt<br />
and if i am really ambitious and/or time allows...<br />
baste wedding or starla<br />
finish binding on nybeauty and mugrug.<br />
<br />
and i almost forgot! block <a href="http://themodernquiltguild.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/chevron3.jpg?w=450&h=395" target="_blank">E from the second group</a> is one of my quiltcon blocks from <a href="http://themodernquiltguild.com/2012/08/30/quiltcon-block-challenge-chevrons-zigzags/" target="_blank">this post</a> from the modern quilt guild! camera issues prevented me from taking photos before i sent it out. i loved it so much i almost didn't want to part with it, but i have plans for something similar ;o. more pictures to come...meanwhile<br />

half bound... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i had a little problem getting the two ends to meet. i tried using<a href="http://www.jaybirdquilts.com/2010/01/perfect-binding-tutorial.html" target="_blank"> this</a> method from <a href="http://www.jaybirdquilts.com/" target="_blank">jaybird quilts</a> but it didn't work out so well. she makes it seem easy and it really wasn't. so i fudged a little and i think it will work. now i just have to hand sew the binding to the back. not really my favorite part.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i worked on other things as well...i cut the strips for the <a href="http://pileofabric.com/post/1001884-totally-groovy-quilt-along-with-prizes" target="_blank">groove quilt</a>. i'm linking up with <a href="http://freshlypieced.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">freshly pieced</a>.</div>

i actually got a little farther than either one of these pictures and as i looked at it, i realized that it did not lay flat. somewhere i stretched too much and my seams must be off because it's almost bubbly. uurrrgggh. so i slept on it (not literally) and decided that i couldn't live with it like that and i had to get out the seam ripper. i've removed each strip down to the number print which i think is the major culprit. so i'll remove those and then decide if i want to use same fabric or change it. grrr.<br />
i'll be linking up with wip wednesday at <a href="http://freshlypieced.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">freshly pieced</a>.<br />
