How do I store my quilts? I get asked that question a lot. Presumably directed to me from lovely people who assume I have some sort of system to preserve and display my quilts to their absolute best advantage. Well, that could not be farther from the truth. This is a perfect example of “do […]
I'd like you to meet Viola, another wonderful Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. pattern. I made this quilt a while back and never got around to having it quilted. It is actually supposed to be bigger: sixteen blocks total. I can't remember why I made it smaller. Kind of wish I'd gone with the full size. […]
I am seriously going to be broke, but I am sending a lot of quilts out to be quilted. They have languished too long and it's time to get off the pot and get them finished. Look at all those packages of backing fabric. That set me back a few bucks too. I did get […]
Oh my gosh, can I tell you how much I love this quilt? I just unpacked it and spread it out on the floor to take a picture. I've been calling it the Love quilt (for obvious reasons). It is one of two quilts I made out of the Moda Blockheads 3 experience. I am […]
When it comes to accurate piecing, there is a lot of talk about accurate cutting and an accurate scant quarter-inch seam allowance. It is absolutely true that if you don't have those two things going for you, your piecing will not be accurate. However, there are a few other pointers I'd like to share that […]
I am definitely on a roll with sending quilts out to be quilted. This one is an old Miss Rosie pattern called Viola. I revisited my notes on it, and see that I made it slightly smaller than the pattern directed. I kind of wish I had made it the full size, but I guess […]
Archie loves his porch time, especially if we are all out there together. He isn't that impressed with my 4th of July decorations, but I have had fun putting things out for us to enjoy this year. That flag quilt on the rocker is a Minick and Simpson pattern I made called Liberty Road. I […]
Eva's graduation quilt came back from the quilter just in time for her graduation next week. I still have to sew on the binding, but I thought I would share the finished quilt. For those of you who are new, this quilt was inspired by the calendar year, and all the activities Eva and I […]
Are you looking forward to Halloween yet? I know, I know, it is still Spring, why would anyone be thinking of Fall holidays? Well, if you have a quilt top and have a hope of having it quilted by then, you need to be planning ahead. I have a Halloween quilt top that has been […]
Do you keep a quilting journal? I keep a few pages on my quilting projects in an all-purpose journal where I track my reading, favorite recipes, and inspirational ideas. It helps me focus on what I have going on and my aspirational goals. This past year was a sad one for finishing projects. So many […]
