Quilting Soothes the Nerves

So--I was on the phone with the California Dept. of Public Health to TRY to figure out what I can do about a smudged date on my birth certificate. The guy said, "I'll look at the microfilm and call you RIGHT back." Well, long story short, I waited 5 hours for that call.

While I was waiting, and waiting, and getting angrier, and more frustrated, and so on--I decided to calm myself by starting a new Block of the Month quilt. I decided to use some really cute and slightly unconventional Christmas fabrics.

Both of these blocks are from Quilter's Cache.

This one is called Housewife:




This one is called Grandmother's Cross:



I think I'm really going to like this Christmas quilt!

Log Cabin Pot Holders



Can you tell that I'm ready for summer? I chose some bright greens and yellows to make these log cabin blocks, along with the traditional red center. These pot holders are for my Mom!

Quilted Potholders

Well, so far Spring Break has not been good to me. I went to bed last night with a massive tension headache. Time to retreat to my happy place of crafting therapy.

I decided to finish these two potholders that I have been piecing together in five minute intervals for the past few weeks.

Both patterns are from the book "101 Fun-to-Quilt Pot Holders". The title is a misnomer in my opinion because the book has waaaaay too many patterns that require mitered corners. And in my world, mitered corners are not "fun". But I did OK on the patterns above, called Spin Art and Pinwheel.
