davidscf: It's a bazillion degrees out today (37C/99F in technical parlance) so I'm doing things that involve staying within a one metre radius of the air conditioner. Since I'm about to start Month 5 of the Portage Lake BOM, I figured I should get my act together
davidscf: As I’ve been putting the final touches on my Reflections project, the centre has been bugging me. Too much bulk. Too many seams. It’s my own design, so I know exactly who is to blame. A solution to my problem presented itself in Anna Maria Horner's Mod Co
davidscf: Because pie... More specifically, "Pumpkin Pie" prints and batiks from Laundry Basket Quilts for Moda Fabrics. #quilting #quiltmaking #quiltersofinstagram #patchwork #pumpkinpiefabrics #laundrybasketquilts @laundrybasketquilts @modafabrics #showmethemoda
davidscf: Home from a day spent with the most fabulous and delightfully sassy @annamariahorner. My kind of "good people". @matobsgirl @materialobsession #quilting #quiltmaking #quiltersofinstagram #patchwork #annastralia #modsydney
davidscf: It's turning into a planning kind of day... I am very close to finishing my current projects (except for BOMs), but rest assured, I have plenty waiting in the wings! One I'm really excited about starting very soon is "Stars Upon Stars" by Edyta Sitar of L
davidscf: It's going to be a scorcher here today. It's already approaching 30C/90F before breakfast and Wee Jock has claimed the back of the couch closest to the air conditioner. #dogs #dogsofinstagram #rescuedog
davidscf: "Little Love" by Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts (from Moda All-Stars Mini Marvels), using the #Love collection from Sandy Gervais and Moda Fabrics, and Aurifil 50 wt for piecing, ditching, and binding. #quilting #quiltmaking #quiltersofinstagram #pa
davidscf: The last seam has been sewn, and with the help of my other half and three eager puppies, we managed to get most of it into the photo. Not bad for this late on a Saturday night. My Panama Pyramids top, hand pieced blocks and machine assembled, pattern by
davidscf: My resolve not to start any more Marvellous Minis lasted approximately 3.5 seconds in the presence of new fabric, so I made a start on "Little Love" by Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts (from Moda All-Stars Mini Marvels), using the #Love collection fro
davidscf: Live. Laugh. Love. Some may call the sentiment trite, but when times are dark, all you can do is put one foot in front of the other, take a deep breath, and keep moving forward. Live every moment. Laugh at every opportunity. Love hard. #Love from Sandy Ge
davidscf: Summer is here, so I figured it was time to sort through my pile of 3 yd cuts and get busy washing yardage for this year’s shirts. In this year’s pile, we have Hello Bear Voile from @goinghometoroost, Rolled Paper in GREEN (glorious green!) from #kaffefas

davidscf: Rounding out my Saturday night with some relaxing (and some nodding nearly napping) hand appliqué on the couch. Slow stitching. It's good for what ails you. #quilting #quiltmaking #quiltersofinstagram #patchwork #minickandsimpson #portagelakebom #grandtra
davidscf: Have rows. Will join. Seems like a good way to spend a lazy Saturday morning in my jimjams. #quilting #quiltmaking #quiltersofinstagram #patchwork #panamapyramidssewalong2016 @quiltsinthebarn
davidscf: It's November, and that means every good boy deserves new blocks! I selected fabrics for Month 4 of the Minick and Simpson Portage Lake BOM this morning from my stash of Grand Traverse Bay lovelies (available now from Moda Fabrics) and I'm all set for ano

davidscf: It's starting to look like a thing! This is way more fun than Legos, and I'm super smitten with Cottonworks from Minick & Simpson for Moda Fabrics. Smitten! I interfaced the reverse side with a sheer fusible to help hold in the stuffing as well as to prev
davidscf: I can't resist the siren call of these beauties for another second! One gyroelongated square cupola pincushion coming right up, "Cottonworks" from @minickandsimpson #quilting #quiltmaking #quiltersofinstagram #patchwork @modafabrics
davidscf: Did I rock the Jinny Beyer Studio Anniversary sale? Yes. Yes I did. #quilting #quiltmaking #quiltersofinstagram #patchwork #jinnybeyer #jinnybeyerstudio @rjrfabrics
davidscf: I have quite a few projects nearing completion at the moment, and my niece's quilt featuring @matobsgirl's Folk Art Revolution is one of them. If I still haven't convinced you, let me tell you once again that @karenkstone is a freakin' genius and watching

davidscf: Houndstooths and Twills and Plaids, Oh My! I normally spend a couple of weeks in Western Massachusetts at this time of the year, so it's no great surprise that I'm feeling more in the mood for fall than spring. These gabsmackingly delicious fabrics just a

davidscf: Most of the crazy-pieced background blocks (9 x 7" blocks) for my the first block (1 x 20") of my Raven quilt is either basted or being embellished with Aurifil Cotton 12. A weekend well spent, but it's Monday morning and the dye pots beckon. Off to the s

davidscf: It's what's for lunch. #summer #food
davidscf: Here I go, here I go, here I go again, girls what's my weakness? Stems! It's Monday morning and we're heading for a top of 33C/92F, so please excuse me for being a little loopy. Somewhat Shoopy, also. Both fabrics are Antique Solids from the Grand Travers
