TTMT #388 - jewells68 - January 26, 2021 - A New View


In which I celebrate another quilt top finish (YAY!!), talk about some Dinos that are paying a visit to Beartown (Whee!), show my progress on my knitted hat (made from Bernat Sox), and turn my camera around so you can see my design wall again! Also, snow fell in the high desert last night. (Boo... Hiss!) And so ends the productive month of January, 2021.

TTMT #387 - jewells68 - January 19, 2021 - Makin' Top-ies


In which I talk about the awesome productive week and 3-day weekend I had making Project Linus quilt tops and working on my great-nephew Brayden's quilt top. Cutting up donated fabrics really got my creativity flowing. I am really focused right now on finishing some languishing projects as well as just moving other projects forward...

TTMT #386 - jewells68 - January 12, 2021 - Cutting a Path to the Future


In which I show off my first Project Linus quilt donation of 2021 as well as share what I'm currently doing for my local Project Linus group as well as my own Linus stash-busting. Having pre-cuts on hand to grab when you want to make a quilt top "right now" is super handy, and really doesn't take that much time and effort... especially if you do it on your lunch break every day! Also, how do you like the new stucco color? I love it, it makes me think of cinnamon. No more pink pepto bismol house!

Project Linus donation # 1 of 2021


The stripe fabric was a sort of textured fabric... "shot" I think it's called? I am pretty sure it was a cotton/poly blend that was meant to look like linen. It was from my Mom's fabric stash. Probably meant to make a shirt for my dad but never happened.

Vicky, I'm pretty sure this Peter Pan fabric came from you! The dark FQ came from that box Susan sent a year or two ago, and the blue and yellow I'm pretty sure came from Amber years and years ago!

TTMT #385 - jewells68 - January 5, 2021 - New Year, New Projects


In which I talk about what's currently on the quilting frame, WIP color theory wall hanging, and a crochet blanket currently on the hook for Project Linus. I've decided once again not to make a goal/to-do chart for what I want to finish this year, but just keep plugging away at what is currently in my line of vision, and when that is clear, turning my gaze to another corner or bin in the Project Room and starting there.
