But first, a word from our sponsor: Me!
Terri, a quilter extraordinary, (PR to sell more copies) has released exciting news today via her website, Quilting Nonnie. We are thrilled to hear that this adventurous and intrepid quilter (now stop it! I'm blushing) is going to be sharing the history of her past quilts and that of her beloved Aunt Marie, who is her muse, with the blogosphere (translation: whoever visits). The news was greeted with wild anticipation by many.
TGS says, "I am looking forward with great joy to seeing the background of how Terri has become such a marvel in the quilt world!" SWH was heard to say, "Did you hear the marvelous news about Terri, that amazing quilter, is finally to break the silence and tell about her aunt, Marvelous Marie's, quilts. In another excited utterance, Hubby said, "I wish she'd just get on with it; the reporters constantly calling us and hanging around our house is a terrible nuisance!"
Terri was reached at home in her quilting studio and told us, "I am breathless. Simply breathless. And agog. Yes, agog. This is a project I've been wanting to do for years. Years. And finally I said to myself, "Self, when are you going to honor my public's request to hear more about Marvelous Marie and myself, Quilting Nonnie.
Quilting Nonnie, as she calls herself, and her blog, has revealed that these no-holds-barred narratives will appear on Saturdays in her blog. She will alternate weeks with her memoirs of her beloved aunt and her own quilts.
Previously Quilting Nonnie has published very few essays on either herself or her aunt. Previous entries about her aunt can be found here and here. Posts about Quilting Nonnie's superb quilts are here and here.
Pop Quiz! What quilt did I work on last week?
Wow! You're right! Yes, it was the Log Cabin quilt for my son and his "new" wife. (They've been married 18 months)
I think I've now figured out what I was doing last week. I was sewing seams so I could rip them out. Yes, my seam ripper and I love each other. At least what the seam ripper keeps telling me.
I was ripping out too short logs, logs put on the wrong side of the square, logs put on wrong side out, a whole set of blocks where I had put two yellows of the same fabric. And then finished the block. I had to rip out 6 rows! Times 5. Do the math. Now imagine how much I actually accomplished this week.
It's luck today is a holiday, because I actually want to make progress; defined as moving forward not backward.
At least my L/E progressed. Here are some of my favorites from last week:

my comment keep disappearing! grrr!
ReplyDeleteI tried to say I enjoyed your introduction to your newest sponsor! Will look forward to Saturdays!
(FYI - my comment problem is with google. Happens everywhere! :) )
ReplyDeleteFound you. :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, you're so clever. I'm looking forward to reading more stories. I love these 9 patches. They will forever be my favorites. I could make 9 patches the rest of my life and never be sad. :) Sorry about all that ripping. That's awful. Ugh. We call it "unsewing"
ReplyDeleteSorry you and your seam ripper have such a close relationship. Mine is positioned near my right hand - just makes sense to keep it close.
ReplyDeleteLove your 9ies. Can't wait to see how they go together.
Speaking of "can't waits", Saturday is coming.
Hugs
What great blocks and it always pays to keep a seam ripper handy! Thanks for sharing.
