In with the old, Out with the new

In times of change and upheaval, it's only natural to cling onto some remnant of the past, something to ground you, remind you of simpler times and make you remember that it will all work out in the end. Usually this is something from the changee's own lifetime, however. So why have I just decided to make an entire quilt by hand? Perhaps I am overreacting a little. Hay que ver...

Coasting Along

A belated birthday present for my uncle. He now lives in a gorgeous (and/but?) extremely masculine 'bachelor pad.' Everything was wood, steel and black leather last time I visited. I hope these will provide a bit of comfort without being girly...

Each was made using just black and blue log cabins, then quilted in a spiral following the lines. I love that such variety is possible with such a simple construction.

I really wish I could remember why the bottom left coaster looks different. I know I was experimenting with different binding methods, but which one did I use on the more successful five?

Now all that's missing is a cocktail bar...
