FSD & SBM March 2012

It seems funny to put the month and the year in the title, but it just makes me realise time does go quickly. And 'they say' it goes even quicker as you get older.

February has been a good month to me!


Market and exhibition full of inspiration. Like this man, Arnout Cosman, who makes the most beautiful quilts!


Meeting an old friend in Amsterdam and buying ART.









The car crash in which 4 young people were hurt, 1 of them killed, is still ringing in my ears.






Finishing Storm's baby quilt.


Winning this lovely mini quilt (17" sq) made by FrozenKnickers with a tutorial here.


Finishing my brown/beige baby quilt. I had so many positive reactions on this one!
I was over the moon!
I need your help as it is still without a name.
Suggestions, please?


And have I now created a monster that will never be finished?
Well maybe I'll just make my postage stamp quilt a little bit bigger, starting with 2" squares.
As did the ladies here, here and here.
All of those I love.


Today I started working on a quilt with a huge star in the most beautiful fabric (of all?)

Well I have to leave you with a cliffhanger, don't I?


I'm linking up with everything Lynne has on offer today.
Have fun sewing or whatever you'll do!

  2. Well, how about Trees in Winter? It matches up perfectly with that landscape behind it in the pic. It's very beautiful, btw.

  7. Your quilt makes me think of lovely chocolate dreams, clouds of sweet cocoa, warm brownies and ice cream.

    Congrats on all of the finishes.

  14. I wish I had a suggestion for naming your quilt, it's so beautiful!

  15. Ooh, I love your brown baby quilt. It is gorgeous! And the circular quilting is just perfect. I like how you started the quilting off to the side. Naming quilts isn't easy! I find that when I think about why I made a quilt and what I like about it, a name comes to me.

  16. Love the brown/beige baby quilt! I'd call it Tiny Tumbleweed.

  17. The browns baby quilt makes me think of sunshine on a cloudy day. I would call it something along the lines of Solar. Very impressive quilting--I can barely do one circle!

  18. Do you always add a quilt label to your projects?...Im not too good at remembering to do this!

  19. I love your storm quilt and the stamp quilt in your post below. You've been making some lovely things :)

  20. You have been busy! You sort of have a name for your quilt already - Over the Moon (as you are with it), plus it has the browns/beiges of the moon and the circular quilting. Love the postage stamp starter - I have been thinking of something similar as the scraps are piling up, but I agree with you on making the squares a bit bigger than 1 inch. It might drive me crazy at 1 inch!

  21. Love your earth quilt Betty. You have taken the photo in the perfect place. I love the old hut in the background. How about Nature's Edge or Spinning Earth or maybe some reference to the hut in background if it has a connection with you. Naming quilts is not my strong point. I like Rachel's suggestion of Tiny Tumbleweed.
    I've popped over from Lily's Quilts, SBM.
