Textile House: February 2014
http://www.textilehousequilts.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 27, 2014. First Finish of 2014. I'm so excited to have completed my first quilt this year. It has been over 6 months since I finished a large quilt so I was a bit edgy and needed a finish. I fell in love with this quilt as soon as I saw it on the cover of the October 2011 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. The quilt was called Star Formation in the magazine). I knew I wanted to make it immediately but it wasn't until I signed up for a class with Paula Barnes. And then the other.

Moving things over to a new blog :. For a while now I have debated on the look of my blog. I love my little critter and it has become an identity to me but Blogger has moved to XML layouts and widgets which means that by staying with my current blog template I am not taking advantage of the new technology out there. I am keeping strlady.blogspot.com but it will no longer house my book reviews. The blog has moved to http:/ Texas-Bookworm.blogspot.com/. Http:/ Texas-Bookworm.blogspot.com/. I'm Sandy from TX.

Textile House: August 2013

Tuesday, August 13, 2013. To Boston, With Love. While I was visiting my daughter in New England last month I had a chance to drop by the Museum of Fine Arts. On the last day of the To Boston With Love exhibit. The tragedy that took place on April 15th touched many lives across the world and this project was born from the need to express the feelings of love and support that those events brought forth. I was so happy to catch this exhibit. Here are a couple more images. I never visualized the biblical sce...

Textile House: On a Roll Here!
http://www.textilehousequilts.com/2014/03/on-roll-here.html
Friday, March 14, 2014. On a Roll Here! Last weekend I wrapped up my second project this year. I started Piece of Cake 3 (Designed by Camille Roskelley. Last November during my Modern Quilt Guild retreat. With a pattern like this, where it's made exclusively with a layer cake and some background, you have little choice but use the full layer cake and cross your fingers hoping that in the grand scheme of things you won't focus on the gazillion bubbles. I must say, I no longer see the bubbles. LOL! I'm San...

Textile House: December 2012
http://www.textilehousequilts.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. I wish I can say that I have been disconnected due to vacations or the holidays or any other fun activity. Unfortunately, end of the year means a truck load of work and so I have been putting in some insane hours at work. But there is a ray of hope in the horizon since new years bring the deadlines we work to meet and then life settles into a normal pace once again. I did have a chance to travel to NH to visit my daughter and son-in-law last week. This puppy is a handful! Pumpk...

Textile House: A Coat for Penny...
http://www.textilehousequilts.com/2014/03/a-coat-for-penny.html
Wednesday, March 12, 2014. A Coat for Penny. Last week we saw a bit of cold weather hit us here in Texas. Nothing like what we have seen this winter, but it was cold enough to have Penny shivering. I got her groomed the weekend before and with the short hair and strong winds she was shaking every time she had to go out. I felt so bad. Penny got this cute, cute, cute coat over the holidays but it was a bit short on the tail end. And at times. she was not pleased having to wear it. Man, you are good!

Textile House: May 2013
http://www.textilehousequilts.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Blogger Girls BOM update. I'm officially two blocks behind. BUT, I did make a dent on this one last month. I tackled block #3 and dwelled on the sashing a bit more. This block finally brought into the play the companion ruler to Monique's. Fit to be Quarter 6.5 ruler. I was excited to give it a try and found it super easy to use. You start with the center of your square in a square. Trim the edges off. Then you need to attach the hst unit to the newly trimmed edge. I'm Sandy from ...
