Boy, it's been quiet around here lately. I've been working on some secret sewing lately and I'm eager to share it with you - but just not yet.
One of the things I've been working on is a big queen size scrap intensive quilt for Fat Quarterly Magazine. I have the top finished but I'm awaiting the delivery of some widescreen backing from Robert Kaufman so I can get it quilted.
Meanwhile, my friends are slowly dragging me into this century. I now have a smart device and have joined instagram! You can find me here at thelittleredhen_lh. If you miss my updates here then pop over there for a taste of what's been going on. I hope to get back to more regular posting here in the new year.
Tomorrow, I'll post the winner of "Quilting Isn't Funny". If you want a chance to enter, read the post about the book and leave a comment there.

Megan Dougherty, of the Bitchy Stitcher, wrote a book! This is a collection of her humorous essays.
Megan's essays cover everything from the hilarious history of quilting to a run down of a recent quilt guild meeting - I think you may recognize some members of this meeting, their names have been changed of course but I'm sure you will recognize them.
You can get your copy here. And one for a quilter friend here. Yes, you will want to give this to your quilty friends too! It is available as a soft cover and a pdf.
I am so impressed that she did all of this on her own. It's a complete self published book! Go Megan!!
There are lots of great reviews popping up over the next few weeks. Here's a list of the schedule. Be sure to read Victoria's inteview with Megan.

I've been wanting to share this quilt with you but I needed some helpers to hold it for photographing. D was eager to help as long as he got to climb out on the roof of the barn. Hm. This is a BIG quilt.
I made this king size quilt for B's parents back in 1999. B's dad had told me that he always wanted a handmade quilt on his bed but had never had one. I let him look through some of my quilt books and he chose this Dahlia pattern, Dahlia Delight, from Quick and Easy Scrap Quilts
The hand applique blocks made a nice travel project.
I hand quilted this one on a big frame in our living room and had a couple of friends who came over to helped quilt it. The boys also each put in a few stitches. They weren't very old then!
It is nice to have this one at our house now. M has been sleeping under it while he's been home for Thanksgiving break. It has a flannel sheet for the batting and is quite warm.
