That Was Easy!

One of the best things about blogging is being able to post ahead of time.  I especially appreciate this option when, during Spring Break and Winter Recess,  I make many things and spread the joy over several blog posts.

When school is out, I craft to my heart's content!  I take pictures.  I upload them.  Then, I write a detailed post for each new project I add to the blog. And lastly, I schedule it to come out and hit PUBLISH (that was easy.)

So, when work is crazy or my arm or other body part pertinent to crafting is not cooperating... If the Internet is down and the monster test is going on at school... Maybe grades are due or report cards come out ... and on top of all that I'm exhausted and stressed, new crafts keep coming out on the blog.  And everyone is happy! ; )  This has been the case for the last several posts and maybe a few more coming up!

Even with some or all of that going on, I managed to do this painless, quicky project for a dog lover I know, just last week (in real time) 5 minutes before bed.  Really!


A little paper, a little bling and you're done!



 
Just the little craft fix I needed, that was easy!

Christmas Once a Month Project #5

First, I must beg your pardon as I overlooked the date (15th) for the Christmas Once a Month posts as outlined  here  at Julie's blog. I don't know now if I'm ahead or behind?    In any case, I do hope this project will make up for my oversight. I have had this pattern on my mind since I first worked with half square triangles on this project .  I am happy to say this is one of my own inventions, as I did not use any pattern. Yay! I started with a clear idea and made the rest up as I went along! Some people collect scraps for a giant scrappy quilt, I prefer more immediate gratification by making something more compact in a fraction of the time! Truthfully, finishing something (like a quilt) gives me great satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment I don't get doing other things;  I'm addicted! One perk was that I did it entirely with leftovers: Squares, 5 inch charms and smaller 2 1/2 inch squares, various strips...

Friday Night Block Party: Pinwheels

Welcome to the Friday Night Block Party here at Summercrafter.  If  you missed the first one , don't worry there's another one today!  Every Friday I will be featuring a new quilt block and the name or names associated with it and a little history.         Today's featured block is the called the Pinwheel. (It's on the button above!) I love it because it means fun! It makes me think of ...       Ferris wheels     and cartwheels  and wind. The Pinwheel block, was created in the United States around the 1800's. It became a very popular quilt block pattern and continues to be used in a variety of styles. There are so many ways to accent the "blades" with the colors (light/dark) patterns and placement, both within and around a quilt.  And it's really not a difficult block to do, I'll show you three different kinds of pinwheel blocks to try. Look ...
