My Name is Lynn, I’m A Blog Slacker

Okay, I admit it, I’m a total blog slacker. I used to post regularly, then I got hooked on Facebook. That’s like posting mini blogs throughout the week, so I felt like there wasn’t much to say here. I’m working on balance. Isn’t that a constant battle?
I’ve been crazy busy, but don’t have a lot [...]

Tea Time

I enjoy relaxing a bit in the afternoons with a cuppa tea. Last week I was cleaning windows, and it was tea time.  I didn’t want to stop what I was doing, so I had the cup on the floor where I was washing the lower part of the windows. Emily popped over for a [...]

A Little Dirt Anyone?

And I’m not talking about dishing the dirt! I’m talking about an all day windstorm and how it looks the next morning. ACK!

New York Beauty From Peggy Martin Workshop

My customer, Linda, made this quilt using techniques learned in the Peggy Martin workshop held at our local guild a few months ago.  Peggy taught how to use strip piecing to make the NY Beauty blocks, and I love the layout that Linda used. The quilt is quilted using Arc thread in the top and [...]

Current Projects

I’m working on a few things of my own, in between working on customer quilts. I hope to have several projects for our guild quilt show in January.

I picked this up from Strawberry Patches about 2 years ago, I think. I finally decided to get it together.  I think I’m going to change the border, [...]

Zack’s 21!

Yesterday was Zack’s 21st birthday. He’s been sick for several weeks with mono, so he wanted to just have a quiet, kick back day. I fixed a special breakfast for him, and Scott took him to do a little birthday shopping. As I was fixing dinner, Zack got a call from a friend, wanting him [...]

Quilt for and Hour

This was the Quilt for and Hour project that was hosted by Judy Laquidara last year. I’m notorious for starting things and not finishing them. My friend, Nancy, and I have challenged each other to finish some UFO’s before the end of the year.  I decided that I’d only work on my own quilts for [...]

Bargello Heart Quilt

This is another customer quilt that I finished on Friday. The quilt pattern is called Bargello Heart, and I quilted it with a freehand edge to edge (E2E) design.  I call this freehand Lynn’s Froo Froo, because I just sort of doodle it as I go. Sophisticated name, eh?  LOL.  I added a feathered heart [...]

Quilts for Superior Threads – Houston Quilt Festival

Here are the finished quilts. I didn’t realize how cool these quilts were until I hung them up to be photographed. Seeing the entire quilt from a bit of distance gives you an entirely different perspective. Both quilts are made in batiks, but I believe that the border fabric on the sand colored quilt is [...]

Life Is Like A Box of Chocolates…You Never Know What You’re Gonna Get

As October is fast approaching, I wonder what happened to September?  It’s been a hectic and emotional month.
Moving our son back to college was both exciting and a little sad. He’s in a new apartment rather than a dorm room, so he was quite happy about that. He took a lot more stuff, and our [...]
