http://auntscrappy.com Trying my best to make an authentic scrap quilt. Tue, 17 Aug 2010 04:41:26 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Two posts in ONE stinking day! Well, I told you that I was oh-so-close finishing my summer sweater, didn't I? This is the first piece of clothing that I have EVER crocheted for myself and, while I see some faults, I am actually quite proud of myself that I produced something that ... http://auntscrappy.com/?p=93 A long, long time ago (okay, like three weeks), I finished those slippers I was telling you about in my last post. And I love 'em. I already, even though it's summer, wear them ALL.the.time. In fact, I love them SO much that I am going to be making me a second ... http://auntscrappy.com/?p=82 Yesterday, my friend, Trish, told me that I needed to post pictures of my recent crochet and knit endeavors. I figured that I probably should but I had no idea how to incorporate them into a quilt blog. Then I realized that I actually OWN this blog and ... http://auntscrappy.com/?p=52 Ok... This is the longest I've ever gone without posting. And that means it has been the longest I've ever gone without QUILTING. I am a horrible, no good quilter. But at least give me a chance to explain myself! After well over a year I am back working on my Hawaiian quilt! I know. I ... http://auntscrappy.com/?p=36 I was recently sent EIGHTEEN POUNDS(!!!) of fabric scraps! Holy moly, right? I received the box yesterday and when I opened it, I was shocked speechless. This is your basic "dream come true" situation. You see, I run a blog called "Aunt Scrappy". And that blog has that name for a reason.... other than the ... http://auntscrappy.com/?p=31 I cannot BELIEVE that I have not posted in almost three months. I suck at quilting. You see, I only post on here if I've done something... Anything, really. And since it has been three months since I've been on here, that just shows how dedicated I am to my supposed "favorite" hobby. I'm ... http://auntscrappy.com/?p=30 Clearly, I am a horrible quilter. Have you noticed that I only update this site about once a month? It's not because I am a horrible blogger... because I'm not. Really. It's because I only quilt about once a month. Isn't that terrible? What is my problem? Maybe it's because I've got two ... http://auntscrappy.com/?p=29 I have FINALLY re-finished my ugly sewing cabinet that holds my very first sewing machine. I have FINALLY cut out my hawaiin quilt design. I have FINALLY finished block #6 from my 2005 block of the month subscription. If only I could get it together enough to post on this blog more. I so ... http://auntscrappy.com/?p=21 I've made three rag quilts during my quilting career. I LOVE these blankets. They are cozy, easy to make, and people love them. But. I'm not really sure if they really are technically what you would call, "quilts". I thought that what made a "quilt" was the actual stitching that puts ... http://auntscrappy.com/?p=17 I have three years worth of block of the month (BOM) blocks. Did ya get that? Three. years. Whoa. I know. I'm a HUGE slacker. My MIL subscribes to the block of the month program at her local fabric store. And it isn't enough just to subscribe for herself. She has to include me in ... http://auntscrappy.com/?p=16
