Here are the top search phrases on various search engines:

Current Quilting

Yes, I've decided to try my hand at quilting again, with a slightly more demanding design.  Liza from Glorious Colors (do NOT link to her site and forget about MINE...honestly, I could browse her site for days) had given me a beautiful gift of fat quarters in various Kaffe/Phillip/Brandon fabrics and plus I still had some fabric from the last time I quilted.  These are the fat quarters I am working with.

I've only started "felt-boarding" my design so far, but I'm really starting to like it.

Readers' Comments/Questions

Seanna Lea asks, "The interlocking crochet scarf is really interesting. How big are you planning to make it?"

It's between 5 and 6 feet in length and I'm thinking it will be about 8 to 10 inches wide, but maybe I'll make it into a shawl if I keep finding enough remnants of sock yarn from the Milano blanket.
