Now think of how far along I'd be if I weren't chatting on Eschaton all day.

2006-01-29T18:57:00.000-01:00

While I really like the original, I decided the same pattern with brighter colors might actually work even better. I think I was right.

2006-01-22T18:22:00.000-01:00

El Gato Negro was right. I've squared it off. Now it is about half way done. Next to come, actually quilting the top to the batting and back. Usually about now, I'm really sorry I ever started the *(&* project.

Click on picture for a close up. Not bad for a weekend's work. Not finished yet, but I'm rather pleased with it so far. 60 degree angles are our friends.

My table. The seating was really weird and not particularly conducive to making new friends. I am not going to name names, but included here is Agent Orange, n69n, the Kenosha Kid, HBK, Watertiger, Spork, and, of course, Mr. QL.

This fabric is way too expensive and way too hard to work with. It slips slides all over the place, making seam alliance rather difficult. I envisioned the quilt to be be very bright, but before I put the border on, it was actually kind of dull. The bright yellow and red really make the rest of the quilt pop right out. All it needs now is a dove and it will be done. My daughter has already called dibs on it.

Since GWPDA is 103 and has adopted me, she has decided that the best thing to do is to move into my spare room. I've decided to create a space for her in the foyer where I sew and waste far too much time on Eschaton. If I scrunch over my sewing machine and computer, there might be just enough room for GWPDA's computer and then she can archive to her heart's content and I can sew. A bit cramped, but hey, it is a NYC apartment. Whatch ya gonna do?

My cat is very territorial, so Arthur will be a problem. Until the problem is solved, I guess we'll just have to stay put. Families make these kind of decisions all the time.

In between wasting way too much time on Eschaton, I put this togeter in two weekends. It is composed of 100 blocks, each block composed of 1 large triangle, 2 small triagles, and one square. I can't decide what kind of border to put on it, if any. I'm leaning towards tumbling blocks.

One time, I swear, just one fucking time, I let the p.i.a. sleep beside the mouse while I was wasting time on the internets. Since then, it is a battle every day to keep him away from the mouse pad. This cannot be a comfortable position for him.

New Camera picture

Here's the same quilt but the picture was taken with a 5 mega pixel camera instead of two.

Around the World

2005-11-11T19:15:00.000-01:00

Here's a picture before the quilt was put together. Around the World is a traditional Amish pattern. I love mixing traditional patterns with contemporary fabrics. The Amish don't use patterned fabric, only plain. As you can see, these fabrics are anything but plain. It took me almost an entire weekend to pick out the 12 fabrics used, and less than a day to piece the top. Another day to get it together and bound. I am extremely pleased with this quilt.

Final Eschacon Picture

A bunch of Atriots watching a softball game. What I find amusing about Eschacon is that almost all the participants are pretty much loners. Not lonely, just not the type to follow the cocktail party circuit. Yet there we were, interacting and behaving like party animals. Heh. I wonder if it will be duplicated, just as I wonder when we finally rid ourselves of this poisonous regime, will we still hang out at Eschaton?

This quilt has four blocks, each consisting of 289, 2 1/2 squares.

2005-10-23T16:00:00.000Z

As if putting together the quilt isn't awkward enough, I have to have the p.i.a.'s help.

The Prince

2005-10-22T20:13:00.000Z

Well, here I am trying to finish this quilt. It has four blocks, and each block has 289 2 1/2 squares. And the prince has to be smack dab in the middle of my little piles was squares.

This is a test

Uncle Smokes

2005-10-18T11:13:00.000Z

Isn't this a great shot? Uncle Smokes is one of the finest Atriots. Not only excellent posts, but a great person. EschaCon was worth it, just to meet this fine person.

2005-10-16T12:21:00.000Z

Well, that will have to do for pictures of my quilts for now since blogger doesn't seem to want to take anymore.

Peace Quilt

2005-10-16T12:19:00.000Z

My first original design.

2005-10-16T12:15:00.000Z

This quilt was labor intensive, but really quite easy. I worked on it leading up to the 2004 election. It was supposed to be celebratory.

The wonderful Watertiger

2005-10-15T13:41:00.000Z

This should definitely get WT some more fan mail

2005-10-15T13:28:00.000Z

Could blogger have made this any easier. I think not.

Going to try and post some pics

2005-10-15T13:22:00.000Z

Nice picture of lovely, super efficient NY Mary.
