I live in the Catskills region of New York (recently moved from a stint in Brooklyn) with my husband, two black cats, and three buff orpington hens. It reminds me of Rip Van Winkle. I try to craft and cook every day, although I tend to get overly focused on a place (like sitting on the sofa to work or being in the kitchen) so it's tough to make myself move enough to do both.
I love quilting, knitting, cross-stitch, card making, etc. My goal for the near future is to sew clothing but I've not yet got over the fear of cutting the fabric and having the garment not fit (I prefer knitting where I can just unravel and try again or quilting where the seams are usually much smaller and more geometric!)
I have an etsy shop over here.
Favorite quilty things (swap info):
bright colors mixed with neutrals, string piecing, small pieces / miniatures, fussy cutting, red-and-white (together), soft colors, geometric patterns, civil war repros, blue-green, grey, peachy-pink, indigo, antiques, linen, gingham, crocheted lace, writing/type on fabric, stripes, dots
I've decided to do an Everything but the Kitchen Sink Quilt in Bella Solids Jade, Grey, Texty Prints, White, and a few bits of French blue, dark pink and light orange. I'm not talking about the actual "Everything but the Kitchen Sink" pattern but just a quilt made up of lots of random bits and pieces. My photoset of ideas is here. Just in case any swap partners feel like contributing a small block. . .
