My Sew Intertwined Quilt

I spent many a night trying to get this quilt top perfect.  The paper piecing, I absolutely loved working on.  Except for the fact,  I messed up two more blocks!  Urgh!  It made me sick.  I wanted to get my quilt top all finished up before the September 6th deadline.  I had started the QAL late and then I just kept getting the colors in the wrong spot.  But now those mess-ups are going to make fabulous pillow shams for my queen sized quilt.  And here it is...

My Dresden Challenge Entry ~ Shattered

Months back, I heard of a Dresden Challenge that was being held by the Salt Lake Modern Quilt Guild.  The Salt Lake Modern Quilt Guild is celebrating Darlene Zimmerman’s 20th Anniversary for her EZ Dresden ruler.  I am really new to quilting and I purchased the Dresden ruler even before I really started quilting.   I love Dresdens, they have such a classic feel to them, and I just can't seem to resist.  So, I figure why not enter one of my little Dresden creations.  And here is what I came up with.....

My Blog Post was Hijacked!!

   

   

If you have a blog,  you spend time writing, taking the perfect picture and proofreading to get the exact words and image you want to express on you blog.  Recently, a post of mine was re posted verbatim from my blog.  In no way did I give the person permission, she did post where she stole the information from.  (As if she was doing me a favor)  She (other blogger)  also stole all my pictures from the post.  To say the least, I was a little upset.  I don't mind sharing my projects and ideas, but they are my projects and ideas,  asking first would have been the right thing to do.  So, I thought I would share a little of what I learned from my experience.

Seeing Double

No, you are not seeing double!  I took the plunge and paper pieced for the first time.  A bit scary and intimidating, but I finished 2 out of 12 of the block needed to do the quilt I am working on.  I really love how they turned out, but they are way more time consuming than I thought.  Maybe, now I know a little more of what I am doing, the next 10 will go a little easier.
