I originally posted the below in a rant to the Inklingo group. I wanted to defend the pricing of the collections to people who seemed upset that they weren't free. The internet has made it easy to get a lot of things for free, but when it comes to small businesses, especially those that are… Continue reading The Cost of Unfinished Projects, or Why I Love Inklingo

Apple Core Quilt Completed!
Last time I posted this quilt, I was this far. And then I spent the weekend making up bias binding. With Karen's helpful tutorial on finishing the binding, it is done!! Feast your own on the finished-ness below!
Beginning another baby quilt
I'm still finishing the binding on the first baby quilt, but couldn't resist making a start on the next one. It's going to use the Hunter's Star 12" Inklingo collection and in rainbow colors since I don't know the gender of the forthcoming child. I spent the evening doing all the printing and here's the… Continue reading Beginning another baby quilt
COTSG: Clue #3 in progress
Cutting out my shapes.
New combo for the Inklingo Mystery Quilt
After some feedback, I think I'm settled on this combination. I tried it with the reds, but I think the complementary colors of yellow and oranges provide a nicer and greater contrasting accent. This is how the combo works with the red option:

I don't have the yardage, so I went through my stash (it's meager compared to other stashes I've seen and some of these fabrics were bought a… Continue reading Inklingo Mystery Quilt Clue #1

I hand-sewed it on and it is so wrinkled! I didn't sew the patches using a scant quarter-inch and on the smaller patches, I should have… Continue reading Mug Rug Swap Finished!
Long overdue update!
I'm in the middle of quilting my applecore baby quilt and it is coming along nicely. I decided to echo quilt in one direction which is great because I don't have to mark it! Hopefully, I'll be done with the quilting in the next couple of weeks and onto the task of binding!
Another progress shot
Forgot that I took this photo! This was taken while I attached the outer corners to the flower part of the New York Beauty.
Intersections
One of the things I love most about Inklingo is the accuracy of the sewing that is achievable! To be able to get perfect intersections like this is so gratifying!
Playing with EQ7
So I finally sat down to have a play with EQ7 and some Inklingo shapes. I received a newsletter from Accuquilt (part of my initial research into better template-makers before I found Inklingo) a while ago with this quilt featured: http://www.accuquilt.com/go-cactus-flower-quilt.html I saw it and thought the design was interesting and probably Inklingo-able. So I opened up EQ7 to… Continue reading Playing with EQ7
