recycled quilt

Yuck .. I have been quilting -- still working on some older things moving forward slowly. I worked on quilting the red and white one today - I just did stitch in the ditch. George and I are doing OK.

I made two little baby quilts -- I love love the colors. There are light Pinks - so light they look white in this picture- right up to bold pinks, neon really. And some grey pinks and a grey border.

I love love that http://www.thequiltshow.com/ is letting people watch their ENTIRE catalogue for free this weekend! Go watch! I just paid for a subscription - and with my subscription I cant watch old seasons, only the new ones. So, this weekend is a real treat! I got the subscription because with a subscription the entire series "why quilts matter" is free to watch. It was pretty good - but basically its hours of clips of people reiterating that there are no quilt rules and that the entire spectrum on quilt makers are making great products. Yay a pro/rich person/artist said what we all know to be true. Yay. Fine I'll type using capitol letters! That's, George. By the way - I also subscribed to http://www.qnntv.com/ - I feel like that website is a better deal. I paid one price for a year and get access to all the seasons of about 20 different programs. But this weekend all of the shows at quilt show are free - go watch!!

ive made some nasty quilts. i feel like im ready to sew a new quilt right over the old ones that suck. i want to just make new tops and cut off old bindings and sew the new tops on and put on new bindings. my quilts will end up like dig sites in the future. or, the thing that never will dry and molds. if i quilted a new top over an already made quilt that would be a heavy ass quilt! i love heavy quilts. i started a jeans quilt tonight -- but, its not boring because the jeans are all jeans that a painter tossed out. so, they have all this paint stuck on everywhere. pretty cool looking. maybe ive got a new front for this ugly ass quilt! i made this b-4 i ever heard of the gees bend quilters, it was one of the first quilts i ever made.

im a young (ish) woman. im obsessed with quilting. my name is taffy pulls. (like the candy) when i was younger i had a vintage shop and was obsessed with fiestaware. color was always fighting with recycling as my focus at the shop. i wanted to make my corner of the world bright and fill it with old used things. i thought everyone wanted bright, used stuff in their house ... but, that was around the time organic took over the world and a new form of hotel living style took over decorating. i took a few years off from the creative world and went back to school to study ... politics ... and buy a micro house ... and adopt some dogs .. then, came the creative bug again. so, i started to sew. ive been sewing a little over a year and im hooked.
