If you like quilts, hexagons, and board games, it’s probably already occurred to you to make one of these.

So what’s stopping you?

I look forward to Thursday evenings.

Is it terrible that I look forward to Thursday evenings because my husband and I watch criminal amounts of TV? Including, of course, Project Runway. I often wish there were a Project Runway-type show for quilters, though I’m not sure how the super-tight schedule would allow for binding time.

A prime candidate for Project Quiltway (or whatever, I’m open to suggestions) would be The Silly BooDilly whose art quilts, like the boob tube above, make me swoon. Check out all the loveliness in her etsy shop.

All the shadows in the city.

Is anyone else watching Bored to Death on HBO? So delightful! Ted Danson is beyond hilarious – who knew? And there are quilts!

This appeared a few episodes ago, and has been on my mind for a couple of weeks, but I didn’t think to look up a still photo until just now. Isn’t it a wonderful specimen of two-toned piecing? Just the right balance of homey and chic.

It looks familiar to me, somehow, so naturally my mind leaped to Denyse Schmidt. But I’ve been unable to find any evidence that it was her, which means it must have come from somewhere REALLY special and unique, like… Crate & Barrel? (Snicker.)
