Happy MLK Day. May his legacy live forever to inspire us.

So just because I have my studio packed up and my sewing supplies put away because we are moving doesn’t mean I can’t use the “Design Carpet” (patent pending, lol) to work through some quilts layout ideas! Playing with the 138+ freeform pieced log cabin blocks I made from a friend scraps at a quilt retreat this past weekend. #quilting #scrapquilting

My studio is packed up because the house that I live in is being staged for sale. So I created myself a little crafting nook that would be acceptable to the real estate agent 😀

It was a productive mini quilt retreat weekend. 138 scrappy free-pieced log cabin blocks completed from my friend scraps! More on a future to tierneycreates.com/blog post #quilting #scrapquilting

At a small quilt retreat for the weekend, working out some design ideas with a friend’s scraps and a borrowed sewing machine #quilting #scrapquilting

tierneycreates Beastie is pretty irritated that her cozy studio is all packed up for painting. She shares her feelings in her guest blog post on tierneycreates.com - https://bit.ly/2R5G67u #quilting #quiltingismytherapy #quiltstudio @crawcraftsbeasties

“Log jamming” a new piece on a friend’s loaned sewing machine with her collection of fabric scraps @chambersdalix #quilting #scrapquilting

Fascinated by hands filled with silver chunky rings! #hands

A true friend will organize your remaining hexies into groups of 6 and centers for you for your EPP rosettes! #englishpaperpiecing #quilting @chambersdalix

38 EPP (English Paper Pieced) rosettes done (made with 7 hexies each); 61 more to go to make my first EPP quilt 😀 #quilting

Finally finished the matching scarf to my hat like two or three years later ha ha. Of course I can’t wear it on my dog walks today because it’s 52° F outside!

I’m really going to finish up those unfinished objects (UFO) this year! Pulled out the 19 Farm Girl Vintage - 12.5” blocks that I have done so far and going to start on the 20th block so I can turn into a quilt and move forward. I am currently surveying all my UFOs and look for a future tierneycreates.com/blog post on my ambitious 2020 crafting goals 😀

An Art Teacher at a Seattle area college teaching Painting and Drawing reached out to me today to see if she could print out an 11”x17” poster of my art quilt “Random Not So Random” for the classroom to inspire her students and for their discussion on design 😀. This is one of the few remaining original recycled Italian silk art quilts I still have in my possession as 5 sold after my solo show at the City of Seattle’s Municipal Tower show in April 2019 (3 were purchased by the City of Seattle for their permanent collection).

@chambersdalix @chambersraven - trying to perfect Charcuterie like you taught me 😀

Massive holiday party cookie baking! Getting a batch of snickerdoodles ready!

From T-shirt to throw pillow - decorating my partner’s Man Cave

New sign, at eye level, for when I wake up each morning 😀

I am loving this TRUTH

My late husband Terry and I had an extensive collection of schnauzers both stuffed animals and ceramic figures. Over the past year since his passing I’ve been curating down the collection to just my very favorites. There are several thrift shops in both central Oregon and in the Denver Colorado area they now have a large collection of schnauzers kitsch!
