E-Book Review

I was asked by Eric Woolf of Fons and Porter last fall to review their Log Cabin ebook. I told him I wouldn't be able to do so until after Christmas if that would work and he said that was fine.

 

I've been quilting for close to 27 years now and have done several log cabin quilts over the years. This is a nicely laid out basic ebook with 3 easy to do quilt patterns in it. There are cutting charts for the blocks and pictures so you can see what it should look like. There are also choices given for different layouts.  I would say it would be a good resource for a new or beginning quilter.  That being said I don't think quilters of several years expierence would look at this and say WOW I have to have this book.  

What I'm Reading

Over on Patchwork Times Judy Laquidara is having a link up for what you are reading. Since I got my Kindle Fire I've been reading all my books on it and this is the the one I am currently reading. It is from her Dundee, Idaho series. I've always been a reader, but I'm reading all the time since I got the Kindle Fire. I carry it with me so if I'm stuck waiting somewhere I can read.

Happy Dance on Easy Street

Finally, thanks to my friend Gail I am able to post a picture on the blog. For those having the same problem and haven't figured it out yet this is what I did. When you are in new post and click on insert image and that screen comes up over on the left in the upper corner you see Compose  and HTML. Click on html and it will let you get a picture from your computer. When you go back to new post screen click on Compose and your image displays and you can type what you want to say. Why it's become this cumbersome to post an image I don't know, but at least it is now working.

Now the Easy Street part. This is the corner of my Easy Street which is now in a top without borders, but I haven't taken a picture of the whole thing yet. I will get borders on it as soon as it warms up here in Southern Idaho (see header picture). It has been very cold here since Christmas and my quilt room is heated by a heat pump which doesn't work once it gets this cold.

Update: Now have it in top form needs borders.

 

I am so excited that I can once again post pictures.

Happy New Year

This morning when I looked out the window this is what I saw. The trees sparkled with frost. It has been cold here the last couple of weeks and may get up to freezing by Friday or Saturday.

Also I had an email from Stash Tea Company about their giveaway they have going. If you go to their Facebook page you can enter their giveaway to win tea for a year. The giveaway runs until January 31st one entry per person, but there are other ways listed so you can have more than one entry.

Last night I did Step 7 on the Quiltville Mystery here are the two units we had to do.

 

This is one of the corner units.

 

 

 

 This is one of the large triangles.

 

Now I am off to see what is next to do for today.

 

Finally Caught Up

 

This is one of my corner pieces 3 more to put together.

 

This is one of my large triangles 11 more to put together. It took me awhile, but this is the first mystery quilt I have been ready to finish without being behind. I really like these colors.

Easy Street Part 3

It's that time once again to link up for Easy Street Mystery. I haven't completed all of part three yet, but they are all cut so I can sew when I get a few minutes.  For some reason my flying geese didn't post last week so here they are again.

So far I am liking these colors. Looking forward to see what we are going to be doing with the greens.

Easy Street Part 2

Finally I have managed to get started on my Flying Geese for the Easy Street Mystery. 9 down 121 to do before tomorrow.
