Finished my Dynamic Duo quilt and absolutely love it. I am putting this in my guild's quilt show in November. Here are some pictures.

Finished the Butterfly Table Runner and added a mitred border and some walking foot quilting.

I didn't like the fabric I used for the Triangle Frenzy Table Runner I posted yesterday so I redid it in another fabric which I think is better. Not yet layered and quilted- will do that later today.

Experimented yesterday with a pattern called Triangle Frenzy Square to create this placemat. I am not happy with the fabric I chose for this but the technique is kind of unique- you use a 60 degree triangle ruler to cut your pieces. I am going to try this again with some left over fabric that I have already sewn into a strip.

If you have not checked out my You Tube Channel please do. You will find my weekly Vlog which I do every Monday morning, Steven and Walter Live! which is a weekly broadcast done Sundays at 4:00 PM EST and my series entitled "The Idiot Quilter" where I talk about my journey (including pit falls) into the quilting world. I also have various videos about Paper Crafting and related topics.

Just finished putting the borders on my Bursting Star quilt. They are mitred as well- I think it gives a more finished look to a quilt as opposed to just square borders. Now it is ready for quilting!

Thought I would start populate my blog with some pictures  of past projects. (Also I am testing an app on my iPhone)

Thought I would share my latest project- The Bursting Star Quilt. This was a free pattern by Angela Walters. I have not yet added borders but I am about too. Also, I plan on quilting this on a Long Arm machine (just took a beginners course on how to use one of these devices). I will show you the finished product soon.

HI! I have not used this Blog since about 2015 but I am reactivating it now because I have been disabled (by a hacker) from Face Book. This has happened to me several times in the last two weeks so I have now decided that I will no longer be using Facebook.

Instead, I will use this forum for sharing pictures of my projects and to update my followers on YouTube.

Not sure if I am going to be able to maintain this Blog but time will tell.

In the meantime- what have I been creating? Well, I just tried my hand at applique for the first time and here is a picture of the result. This was a kit (one of three) that I picked up when we were last in Australia. Eventually, I will incorporate these kits into a quilt that features fabric I purchased in Australia.

Here is the piece:

I hope you will check out my Blog on a regular basis and share your thoughts with me about my projects or any other topics you may wish to talk about.

Stay tuned for more!
