Quilty Taping with Mary Fons

January 15, 2012 3:07 pm by Ebony in News

It’s official: I am now a recurring guest on Quilty! Last Sunday, I went down to the city (because despite claiming I live “near Chicago”, it’s still over an hour’s drive to get there) to film three new episodes with Mary. I don’t know when they will air; they filmed the entire season over a three day period, but presuming that they filmed in the order the episodes will air, they are closer to the beginning of the season than they are to the end.

Let the Destashing Begin!

I started grouping fabrics the other evening, and then got inspired to start snapping photos. Once the photos got taken, it was a short leap to start listing them in my Etsy shop!

Fabric Stash Reduction Project & Sale

I was talking to my friend WenR last night, after a wild night of quilting & chatting until 3AM, and I came up with a really crazy idea that I think I may actually follow through on. It involves selling off hundreds and hundreds of yards of fabric at very low prices. Why on earth would I do that?

End of Year Activities

I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks for a few very good reasons. First, I’ve been quilting my little tail off to try to get all these quilts finished, and… I did!!! I ended up needing to quilt several quilts a day for a few days in a row, but in all, I managed to quilt 50 quilts this year in my first year of long arm quilting, and 18 of those were finished in the last 30 days of the year. You’re probably wondering when I’m going to post about them, but that’s going to need to wait.
