I'm really pumped to be teaching at Quilt Con in February! SOFT CRITICISM - space…
Giveaway winner & fixed badges
And the winner is:
Jessica of Narnia Mum
Thank to everyone who entered! I read each and every comment and got some great gift ideas! Given what my grandma’s already got, her physical limitations, and the fact that I live 400+ miles from her, I think I’m going to do a photo project.
I gave my grandma a quilt last December:
( Half-square triangles were not pieced, but made by dyeing and discharging charm squares with half-square triangle plexi resists over 1/2 of each charm.)
And she’s got a few other handmade bits I’ve made over the years, too…
These are Spool Birds (I would link, but their blog looks broken?) with magnets in their bellies on a stick with magnets in the woodgrain straps. My grandma keeps these on her TV cabinet with the quilt displayed behind; she sees them every day. : )
Housekeeping (fixed badges)…
Ach! There was a glitch with the process pledge badges that caused some of them to generate a 404 error. I do believe I’ve fixed them now, so if you put a badge on your blog, please update the html using what is now in the post:

sorry peeps.
Thanks to KT for letting me know something was amiss.

what a gorgeous quilt! i never would have guessed that it wasn't pieced. it's lovely! and the birds are superb, too!
I love value quilts, and I love your take on it. Itajime shibori is new to me, but your quite convincing here, I think I need to educate myself…
; ))
(thank you for fixing the pledge script.)
your non-HST quilt is amazing…that's so cool what you can do with dye and discharges and things. Malka's book is on its way to me and I can't wait to get started with some new techniques.
That is a pretty cool quilt. I just love it this way.
I love the dyed/discharged charm squares! Oh — one day! And I've seen little sewn, stuffed birds before and thought — yeah, cute — but yours on that curved stick are really extraordinary!
This quilt's cleverness always amazes me. I love it and gran must too!
Oh my gosh your birds are ever so cute. I think your gram must b eso, so happy!!!
Thanks guys.
You should have seen my dog the day I was tramping through the woods looking for a suitable bird stick. He was very confused…I'd never shown a particular interest in sticks before!
Your value quilt is fascinating, I love how it tricks the eye into thinking you've pieced HSTs!
