Friday, May 1, 2015. Cutting and more cutting. I tend to like to have quilt tops ready to sew when I feel like working on them. However, I dislike cutting the least of all aspects of making a quilt. So I have been busy cutting on pieces for quilts. Multiple quilts. I cut all the pieces and make a sample block, and then store them. These are the two that I cut out this morning.

IRISHLAKEQUILTER: What's On My Wall and More.........
http://irishlakequilter.blogspot.com/2011/01/whats-on-my-wall-and-more.html
Snippets and quilts, family, pets and friends. Thursday, January 27, 2011. What's On My Wall and More. What is on my "wall" today? This picture shows the start of a 4000 piece quilt that I am making for Michael's girlfriend, Jen. Since the photo was taken, I've increased the number of blocks to over 30 (there are 200)in the quilt and I may reduce that to a number less than the 200. These little blocks take a long time to make and accuracy, as I'm learning rapidly, if of utmost importance! Watermark templ...

IRISHLAKEQUILTER: September 2008
http://irishlakequilter.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Snippets and quilts, family, pets and friends. Thursday, September 11, 2008. Not a thing comes to mind for a title on this post. Summer is winding down, much to my dismay. Everything is coming all at once and my blog has taken back seat. Do I make kits and put them all together and schlep those to and fro? I try to do the latter, but that elusive piece of fabric is always at the other end! Retreat - it's that time already! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

IRISHLAKEQUILTER: Christmas
http://irishlakequilter.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas.html
Snippets and quilts, family, pets and friends. Sunday, December 26, 2010. We awoke to 8" of new snow this morning - totally surprised us all! We jokingly laughed at the predictions that had been on TV for the past few days because it had not hit us by last night. It is truly gorgeous out there! A cardinal or a deer amongst the trees would make a wonderful Christmas card photo for next year. Here's a shot from a few days ago. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
