Shownotes for Episode 4

Show Notes for Episode 4 - Rabbits Prefer Chocolate - A Family Story...

As I said during the show, I'm trying to refocus this podcast into something a little more tangible, a little more personal.  Focused.

To that end, I am sharing a deeply personal story - one of sadness, of hope, and of jubilation and it all relates back to a little quilt that began several years ago...

This one

  Trying to take a photo of a quilt when you really have nowhere to hang it is quite difficult!

But this is the famous 'Rabbits Prefer Chocolate" Quilt that I have mentioned probably a thousand and two times in my podcasts... Maybe now you know why?

Some close up shots (above) and then I really to get some good photos of the border so that you can tell whether to leave it or change it - but I'm not sure the overall effect has been achieved..

Any comments are welcome though:)

Ok - maybe nobody asked... but I really do enjoy recording these shows - perhaps you enjoy listening? If so - please do let me know:)

Here are the show notes for episode number 3 - 'Flying by the seat of my pants'

Photos of the Playtime block I discussed:

Here is the Elephant on the pull toy (apparently the 'pull' comes with Month #5).

Close up the eyelashes

The Ball - wow, this is an exciting block.

The Altos cutting mat

Close up the "speed guage"

With a piece of fabric - maybe easier to understsand this way?

Don't forget that their website has demo videos!  PS I am in NO WAY affiliated with this product.

This is the circle cutter sitting on top of the glass mat that I discussed.

Shownotes for Episode 2

I am so happy that I have recorded the second podcast!  It means that YES, I AM REALLY DOING THIS!

As far as the show notes go - I should definitely show you 2 things:  The TABLE and the BLOCK that I was talking about during the show - the one with the improvised house and pieced blocks.

One side of the table - those containers on top are empty baby formula cans that I recovered using Heather Bailey's Fresh Cut Line.



The other side of the table with my mini bolts!



American Jane 'Playtime' Quilt block.  I am a member of this block of the month club. 

This is a great shop, Thimblecreek - located in Concord California.



These are the clouds I improvised because the house turned out smaller than was called for.



I added the letter stitching 'fly fly fly' just for fun.



Currently on the machine is this quilt - FRAKTUR - by The Rabbit Factory - started about 2 years ago!  But it shall be finished one day....


Here is a picture of what the whole quilt will look like when it's done!
