Sit-In is under the needle! How many times will it be unquilted? Sigh … let’s not go there yet. Below: the view from the back:

Another quilt in the making–Stellar Jr. (will be given an actual name at some point in the near future):

May marked seven years of The Off-Kilter Quilt podcast! To celebrate I’ll be giving away a $25 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop OR your favorite local quilt shop (if we can make arrangements to do so). Enter by Friday, June 23rd by leaving a comment and telling me how long you’ve been listening.

I finished the “Sit-In” top! Hope to start quilting early next week.

Jack Dowell, Boy Graduate:

“Wing” won third place in the Riley Blake/MQG challenge–woo hoo!

I just finished reading I Am Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout and loved it! Have just started Strout’s new book, Anything is Possible. She’s one of my favorite fiction writers at work today.

I really enjoyed Wise Craft Quilts: A Guide to Turning Beloved Fabrics into Meaningful Patchwork by Blair Stocker. Definitely worth a read if you’re into repurposing fabrics.

Got this book for Mother’s Day–so happy to see my girl Allison Rosen in its pages: The Applique Book: Traditional Techniques, Modern Style by Casey York.

Read “A Quilt for Dr. Wallace” over on www.quiltfiction.com

 See you in a couple of weeks! Happy quilting!
