Housewarming party

Posted on January 31, 2009 by Suzanne

Thanks for putting up with me and following me to this new site.

If you click on the POSTS link, right above my picture (gee, it looks like I’m looking at those links up there in the corner)… you can subscribe to my new blog in your favorite blog reader. (I like Google Reader, myself.)

And in your free time, if you could update your blogroll or link directory, I would really appreciate it.

And then, you can post a comment, and I’ll enter you in a drawing for a quilt (style, size, design to be determined). And maybe you could tell your friends, too?

I know you are probably shaking your head, wondering what on Earth that Suzanne is up to now. It will be come clearer eventually, just know that there is a method to my madness.

Really. There is.

Quiltin’ up a storm

Posted on January 30, 2009 by Suzanne

I’ve had 4 quilts on (and back off!) the quilting machine this week — it sure feels good to FINISH things. Well, “finish” as in “finish this particular step and then put them in the pile for the next step.”

I’ve uploaded a bunch of pictures to my Flickr Photostream, and because I’ve run out of steam for tonight, I’m just going to point you there if you’d like to see what I’ve been up to. A scrappy nine patch plus those Strip Twist QOVs from last week are the 3 that are photographed, the braid quilt was quilted today, but not photographed yet:

Quilt Photos

Did you know that tomorrow is the last day of January? How did that happen? Here are the photos I’ve picked for the last few days of my daily photo project:

The sky was such an odd foggy shade of grey and the trees were all covered with snowy ice:

You’ve seen this one:

And this one:

I waited until too late in the day to try to take Mark’s picture. None of the pictures I took were very great, and this one only looked decent after I went with the black and white. My goal was to get some pictures that show HIS eyes, but he wasn’t in the mood, and it was really too dark.

I’ve always thought that my eyes were my best feature, but my boys hit the beautiful-eye-gene-jackpot in that their DAD has really beautiful eyes, too.

Look at that dog’s tongue. Don’t you wish you could do that?

Talking with Will

Posted on January 29, 2009 by Suzanne

Will wanted to tell me about something that happened at school. I asked him if I could take some pictures of him while he talked. He said no, but I did it anyway.

How old are you?

Posted on January 28, 2009 by Suzanne

According to my husband’s driver’s license, he is 38 years old.

The 4 wheeler tracks in my front yard lead me to suspect he’s really only about 16.

Looking for

This:

Looking for

It’s by Robyn Pandolph, from a collection called Aubrey Rose. It’s from approximately 2004, when she was designing for South Seas Imports. It’s a tone-on-tone green and I need about 1/4 to 1/2 yard.

I have Googled, and tried Quiltshops.com, but all I can even find pictures of online are the focal florals, none of this tone-on-tone. I’ll give Missingfabrics.com a whirl next, but I thought I’d give this a try — maybe you have a bit of this hiding in your stash that you’d be willing to trade with me? (I’ll pay postage and trade you for comparable yardage of something from the shop or my stash…).

And of course, you probably want to know WHY I need this. Well, instead of cleaning (or writing patterns, or writing/drawing my book), I fell prey to temptation again.

Only look!

Another finished quilt top!

Looking for

Pattern is Peppermint Swirls by Fig Tree Quilts. Pattern calls for some words (jingle all the way) appliqued on it, but I don’t like what she did, don’t think it “goes”. Pattern picture shows it bound in red and I really don’t like that, but I only have about half of what I need in order to bind it in the green (it was a kit).

The blocks were together, I needed to add one more corner triangle, trim it, and add the white and green borders.

Having finished 2 quilt tops, I now I feel justified in starting something new!

Ha!

Suzanne aka EDG

p.s. i was going to write it as EDGirl. But then I worried that it looked like I was calling myself Erectile Dysfunction Girl.
