Studio Kit

So, I thought I'd introduce myself to any new readers who are here for Blogtoberfest. 

I'm Kit, and I make quilts to tuck up under as well as textile art.  This is a process blog, so I show the "how" of what  do, a heck of a lot of "in progress", my mistakes along the way (and you'll see a lot of those!) a couple/few finishes (depending on how inspired I've been that month) and sometimes I talk about the "why" of what I do too.  

As I usually only blog a couple of days a week, to fill in a bit this month, I'll probably show you some inspiration, send you some cool places, and talk a bit about my daily life.  Oh, and I'm doing at least ONE giveaway and I may do two or three or...?  Keep coming back cuz I'll just throw them out as a surprise on any given day.  
  

One of the things you also need to know, is that I rarely work on the same thing for a sustained period of time.  I get bored easily, so instead of torturing myself by working on someting I've lost interest in, I move on to something else, and come back later.

These blocks are one such project.  I originally started working on them back in January, and recently had them out to try the "Quilt As You Go" method, supberbly explained HERE by Mari Quilts at The Quilting Edge.  Be sure to read and follow her instructions if you want to do this method, as I am TERRIBLE at following instructions.  I see an idea and take off.  It's only later that I come back and say "Umm, so what was I really supposed to do, 'cuz that didn't turn out so well." *hah!*




Of course, sometimes it turns out very well, and I don't have to go back.

But other times...   *ahem*

Speaking of, I am sincerely not liking where this is going.

For my regular readers, we'll get back to our ordinary programming in November, but in the meantime, I hope you'll still pop in from time to time. 

Cheers,

I'm doing a crazy thing - I blame Deborah O'Hare!

I've joined Blogtoberfest!




A post a day every day of October. 

*Ahem!*

Here's post one - more (and more substantive post) tomorrow.

Cheers,

When I last left you, we were looking at something like this....

Several months ago (when I tried parfait dyeing) I mentioned that I got the idea from this great process blog called And Then We Set It On Fire where every month, someone shares a surface design technique, and then everyone who is part of the blog (plus readers who want to play along) try the technique and then post or share their results.




Some of you may have noticed that I added a link to and Then We Set It On Fire last week.  That's cuz I was asked to be a regular contributor to it!  My first post to the blog about Fugitive Media went up today. 

And the second piece of new is....

Remember this from last year?





It had some problems.  Even more problems than I thought it did now that I'm looking at it almost a year later.

If you are friends with me on Facebook or are part of my network on Google Plus, you saw me excitedly posting last Saturday morning about popping bolt-upright in bed at 11:00 p.m. rushing to my studio and working on making some fabric.



And this was the result!
