The Zippered Path

Found a catchy title for my new post......it's the name of the pattern for the most recent throw quilt I made. I think I'm going to be donating this one to the scouting group' s silent auction in December. Hopefully I can make a few bucks for the kids going to Canadian Jamboree in Halifax next summer.


This quilt was fun to make. I know, I know....some of you are rolling your eyes. I was a non-believer too at one point in my life. I find quilting very relaxing. I don't give myself a deadline (anymore) or else it's really not fun. I may work on it for ten minutes before I go to work. I may work on it a few minutes before going to bed or while I'm waiting to head off for an appointment. I think that's the key to enjoying a hobby like this--just working on it whenever you feel like it.

At least it turned out better than the cake I made today...

  1. If it makes you feel better, I've had several blaettertortes turn out just like that cake. In theory I'd figure out the problem and not do it again...

    1. I tried making 7-minute frosting but couldn't get it stiff enough. I've figured out my problem...do not make 7 minute frosting again.....:).
