blog update for me

I've given the blog a face lift. It had been over a year since the last time, so it seems that I was due. I really wanted to incorporate actual sewing of the tumbling blocks quilt pattern into the header, so there we have it. There's nothing wrong with linen and gray, right? The blocks were my first go at English paper piecing, and I can see why so many people find it addictive. They're like potato chips—you can't stitch just one. Doing the 60 degree diamonds was a bit tricky, though, because there was a lot of fabric to wrap around the pointy tip. You don't have to worry about that with the hexagons though, now do you?

While I was giving the face lift, I also added a Tutorials heading and a Contributing heading to the side bar. I've just been meaning to do that forever, and now they're there for easy reference. Hope you like.
