Isn’t it nice when things operate as expected? My quilter in Utah mailed a couple of quilts back to me, and they were actually delivered right to my door. After the recent massive fail on the part of USPS, it was a relief to receive this package as expected. Although it was delivered by UPS […]
To be honest, I haven’t felt much like sewing this week. We were supposed to have left for a trip to Ireland to visit our son, but had to cancel the trip due to health issues. We had a side trip to stay in the Cotswolds planned, as well as a jaunt to London which […]
I have generated some interest in French General fabrics with my latest post, so I thought I would show you some of the quilts I have made over the years using them. I have always loved their elegant fabric collections and have purchased a lot in my quilting history. I have also accumulated a very […]
I got busy this weekend and sorted out the backings for a couple of quilts that I have been meaning to send off to my quilters. The Red Pineapple quilt has been done for ages, but because of all the bias edges, I wanted to add a narrow outside border to keep things from stretching […]
I brought out some colorful quilts yesterday. Spring is here, and I want to celebrate! These quilts were all made a few years back, but still bring a smile to my face. Don’t you just love the cheer that some color adds to the mix? Let me tell you about the quilts. The quilt above […]
Oh my goodness, this week has turned out to be so busy! The weather has been nice, and I have taken advantage of it to start sorting out our garage, where things seem to get out of hand fairly regularly. That is a job that can’t be done in a day, but I do try […]
This post is for all of you who are snowed in or iced in due to the miserable weather that is sweeping across the country. This quilt top was the 2015 Fat Quarter Shop Designer Mystery BOM. The pattern is available on the FQS website, and you can still get the fabric “Snowman Gatherings IV […]
Some of the best quilts I have ever made have been the product of sew-alongs and BOMs. I have had great luck with many Fat Quarter Shop BOMs, Moda Fabrics sew-alongs, and other projects hosted by favorite fabric designers. These organized quilt-alongs are inspiring, challenge your abilities, and put you in touch with other quilters […]
Are you ready to plan your quilting projects for 2026? Since this is the year for being organized, let’s get started. Let’s start with our list from yesterday, our WIPs and UFOs. Which of those are your priorities to complete? There are probably one or two that are going to the top of the list. […]
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 […]
