Those doors are going to be amazing. That is beautiful work, wow! Can't wait to see the final photo with the doors installed!Maybenaut wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 8:19 pmPhoenix wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 8:13 pm
Maybenaut, is that going to be a cabinet door! Beauty work.
These will be actual double doors leading to our bedroom. There are 15-light glass doors now with sheers. First I wanted solid doors, then thought, no, I can make something really cool.
I’m finishing up a quilt for a friend and then I’m going to get back to my sweet sister’s quilt. It’s the Hugs and Kisses pattern from Jordan Fabrics. It’s made entirely out of HSTs* sewn into 16-square blocks in different configurations. I got super dizzy trying to put it together without using a design wall or other aide.
LOVE the quilt! So, so sorry about Ash. Hope you guys are healing.

Re: Fogbow Arts and Crafts
The quilt is looking great so far. I am thinking about making a quilt out of the remainders of the fabrics I used to make Covid masks. I watch those Jordan fabric videos sometimes, she makes it look so easy!Phoenix wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 8:13 pmI adore the polar bears.Tiredretiredlawyer wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 9:33 pm RV-

I made so many mistakes! I’ve ripped out, resewed, and ripped out again about half the blocks. But I’m back on track now. I think…![]()
I hadn’t figured out the back until now. I’m getting a T-shirt, pair of jeans and beanie from my sis, all Ash’s . He loved white Ts. And red beanies. I’m going to use a big piece of orange batik with butterflies, appliqué ( is that the right term?) the clothes on after, as if he’s giving her his signature bear hug. Damn, he was a GREAT hugger.
Sorry for the terrible pic.I’m moving my sewing room upstairs and have no lamps left in that room

I stopped at a quilt shop near Eureka on the trip back, in the redwoods. It was very cozy and full of fabulous colors. It is run by a retired Special Ed teacher, for whom in general I have a special fondness.

Question: how do you keep moths out of your fabric stash?
Re: Fogbow Arts and Crafts
I keep all my fabric in plastic totes (clear so I can see them).Phoenix wrote: ↑Thu Jul 15, 2021 4:24 pmRVinit, I was in Grants Pass in early June and had hoped to visit Jordan Fabrics. I watched a million videos while I was learning, including hers. For some reason, I guess because she does make it look easy and fun at the same time, I’ve tried her designs and techniques more than others. Alas, the store was still COVID-closed. I did buy some layer cakes online for pickup just so I could say I’d been there.

Re: Fogbow Arts and Crafts
Flashing back to pine needle weaving, Estiveo's Mom collected Native American art & crafts which I inherited, and in said collection is a pine needle basket. It's probably Ohlone, and between 100 to 120 years old. There's a little decay on the lid & near the rim, but otherwise in good shape for its age. It's about 4½" in diameter.
Also, an unrelated display of how to fill an oddly shaped space, in this case a long, sloping space on a ledge overlooking the living room. I took a small Chinese dragon kite and mounted it on dowels & 2x6 maple plank. The Salish totem pole joined it later.

Lovely basket. And a neat idea for the kite.

Yes!! I love seeing what other people do with their spaces.

Cool dragon kite. Now, when I see a space in a home that needs something, here's my arts and craft dream for it.

Re: Fogbow Arts and Crafts
So do I (it is sadly not mine). It wouldn't fit in my tiny place. I did once attend a organ event in a private home where organ was at least as large as the photo I found but the room was the same or smalle. I assume the organ tech revoiced the instrument to fit bit it is interesting to hear a larger instrument in a smaller room.Tiredretiredlawyer wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 10:05 am N10 - love the decor!

I am not able to see Northland10's image, it just has the image icon on my screen. I wonder if anyone else is having the same problem. Oh well, I'm sure it must be pretty cool, based on the comments.
