In this blog, Kara and Matthew share their experiences with various crafts. Kara recently starting teaching Matthew how to make quilts, and both of us have been known to say, "Surely we can figure this out; we have five degrees between us, so how hard could it be."

Block a day
This is 54-40 or fight. It's my first block for the 140 block quilt called Sylvia's Bridal Sampler. There are some blocks in the pattern that I've always wanted to try. I didn't know anything about the book that the quilt evolved from. I read mysteries, just not those. I'm still not inclined to read the Elm Creek Quilt books. I'll just continue on with James Lee Burke, Janet Evanovich, Robert Crais, Charlaine Harris, etc. I tend to listen to books on tape while I quilt. I'm planning on using scraps from the stash for this quilt. So far, it's heavy with blue and yellow and lighter colors. It will be interesting to see what color scheme develops.
