Nate's Notions: I'm FAT!!!!
http://natesnotions.blogspot.com/2012/01/im-fat.html
So you've noticed, I'm a male quilter. Really I did make that quilt. Yup all by myself. Wednesday, January 11, 2012. Sorry for not blogging for a while. I'm going to try to blogging more often and about more than just quilting. I've been feeling like my life is a bit out of balance. One reason is that I haven't been exercising or eating right. One of my New Year's resolutions is to lose my extra batting around my middle. Here is a picture of me from about 5 or 6 years ago. Im with you, Nathan!

So you've noticed, I'm a male quilter. Really I did make that quilt. Yup all by myself. Sunday, February 21, 2010. I took a little trip a while back to Lanesboro. MN for a quilt retreat with Cheri, Amy and Judy. Judy has a great posting about the retreat. I had this quilt cut out for quite a while, so it was on my UFO list. The pattern is called Weather Vane. I think it turned out great. I'm going to put it in the non-judged portion of the Minnesota Quilters Show in June. I need a name for it. For the cl...

I've been listening to Christmas music to get in the mood for the holidays. One song I don't quite get making it into the mix is My Favorite Things. Why that song says Christmas, I'm not sure. But it did make me think. I have a few new notions that would be on the list of my favorite quilting things. Since I'm making Tapestry king size. Thursday, December 1, 2011.

Nate's Notions: Tapestry 2.0
http://natesnotions.blogspot.com/2011/11/tapestry-20.html
So you've noticed, I'm a male quilter. Really I did make that quilt. Yup all by myself. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Here are the contents of another one of my ArtBins. I purchased the Traditions Tapestry kit. I've already made one kit into Tapestry. And made the other kit into a different quilt. I decided to take some artistic license with the pattern this time around. Instead doing the nine-patches in the pattern. I'm going to do split rails. The first picture is my first block. I'm liking it!

So you've noticed, I'm a male quilter. Really I did make that quilt. Yup all by myself. Thursday, January 26, 2012. I've started making a shop sample of Seasons in a Row. It is a fun sampler quilt with each row representing a different month. Seasons in a Row is the current block of the month at Glad Creations. If you want to do it too, no worries, there is still time to get registered. The snowmen are the row for January. I'm using the kits from Glad Creations. January's kit comes with buttons. In a lar...

http://natesnotions.blogspot.com/2012/01/brownie-goodness.html
So you've noticed, I'm a male quilter. Really I did make that quilt. Yup all by myself. Wednesday, January 18, 2012. I volunteered to bring the treat to quilt group today and baked up a little experiment. Makes Killer Brownies, which have something yummy baked into the center. One of my favorites is German Chocolate Brownies. One of my mom's cookbooks has a recipe for Caramel Brownies. I decided to modify it and bake German Chocolate Cake Frosting. In the center instead of caramel. 1 Devil's Food cake mix.

So you've noticed, I'm a male quilter. Really I did make that quilt. Yup all by myself. Tuesday, May 4, 2010. I've just passed the half way point with my Sylvia's Bridal Sampler. This section was template piecing. I have to confess that I only used templates for 3 of the 15 blocks. The rest I did using paper piecing. I printed out the patterns from Electric Quilt 6. I've had it for over a year and this was the first time I've used it. Just being able to print out the patterns made the purchase worth it.
