Much ado about the usual nothing.

Quilts (covered in cat fur)

These are the quilts I've done, or am doing now. I don't pretend to be the best quilter in the world, but I do enjoy playing with color. Since my day job involves me working with databases and code, it's often a pleasure and a relief to step away from that world and exercise another portion of my brain.

There's a Quiltifesto of sorts - why I'm doing this, and why I do it in the manner I do. It's a rant. You might even laugh at it. Be sure to read through the comments, too.

Quilts under construction

These quilts are currently being worked on; I'm cutting fabric or doing assembly.

Nearly finished

Unfortunately, quilts often have to languish here a while. I don't have a longarm quilting machine, and my sewing machine's throat can only accommodate quilts that are twin-sized or smaller. I can rent time on a local longarm quilting machine ... but only on Saturdays ... when no one else has claimed it first. So, sometimes, no matter how much I want to finish up a quilt, I simply can't; it has to wait until my free Saturday and the longarm quilt machine's free Saturday line up.
