I must apologize, not so much in advance since I’ve already done it, for password protecting some of my recent blog posts. These posts will come back at some point, it’s just necessary right now that they are temporarily private and not open for viewing. There’s nothing wrong; this is actually a good thing, but [...]

Inchies Update
July 27, 2008
Enough of all this Bernina talk, let’s get back to our regularly scheduled programming. I’ve been working on the Inchies off and on, and have a total of 400 done as of this morning. I do have to go back and replace about 20 that I already made in a light grey to black color [...]

July 19, 2008

The New Plan Pays Off
July 11, 2008
At least I think it pays off. Here’s the latest view of the Inchie Quilt on the design wall: You can see the other design stages here and here. There are no more changes in the plan coming though, since it’s all sewn together. I think I like it. Though I hope that feeling isn’t [...]
