What Are These?

Can someone please tell me what these are called?

A visit to the grocery produced this little gems. They look like a cross between a plum and a lemon. Look at the way the bottom goes down like a tear drop or the end of a lemon.  Of course I didn't know what the heck they were and they didn't have a name for them but they did have a cup to sample them. I didn't sample them, but was curious to bring them home to study what they were and to taste test in the privacy of my home. I only go two, but I will keep you posted as to what they taste like.

Have a great day...now go be creative! T

How to cover a mistake

The project of the day is paper piecing with a muslin foundation. But because I am not that verse in this subject matter you would think following a straight line would be easy, apparently not. If you look real closely you can see where I messed up. I'll admit this is not my specialty, but it was fun making. So what did I do, I covered some of the seams with quilting and fabric paint to cover the mistakes. Nothing like a Chevron design out of flying geese, how is that possible.

Enjoy! Now go be creative and have a wonderfully productive night. Later T

What a Year...Literally! Welcome 2013

It's been quite a while since I have written and I've missed it so, this past year has been an interesting one to say the least and hopefully we can get back on track somewhat. So what are your plans for this year? I have a laundry list and one is to get published, self-publish my own project, and submit my quilts to more shows this year. That is a TALL order but with determination I am gonna make it happen. So what have I been working on lately? Over the x-mas holiday I worked on one quilt, one for my brother I'd been working on forever with the tons of squares and triangles that was on the cover of American Patchwork, then low and behold, I was at quilt guild and that lady who designed that quilt was our speaker...how cool was that. She held up that quilt I almost fell out of my seat with excitement. Other gifts included tons of knitting gifts for family and friends. It was a challenge but I am always up for a challenge. I brought in the new years with family and made it home safely. It was a blast! I hope everyone had a great one as well and now ready for a new and wonderful year. I am signing off for now but I will be back.

Take care and you know what my motto is..."Who cares if my points aren't straight!" Happy Quilting and go make something wonderful! T
