Several people have asked about the pattern I used for the August Blooms quilt. The pattern is in a book called Summer Haven, by Linda Hohag, published by Brandywine Designs. The book was published years ago, but it is still available through the publisher, Brandywine Designs. I think every pattern in the book is very […]
My half square triangle experiment, now dubbed "The Madness" is finished! I am quite happy with the results and the person to whom I am gifting the quilt seems to like it as well. He has named it "The Madness" after his wine label and one of his best selling wines. I love the name, […]
There has been so much talk of late regarding "low volume" quilts. Low Volume meaning quilts with soft colors and little contrast. The concept of low volume is definitely nothing new! The quilt pictured above is my version of a "low volume" quilt, which I made five or six years ago. At the time I […]
Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2014 blesses you with good luck, prosperity and excellent health. I don't have any firm resolutions to state, however my wish is that I will make more time for both sewing and reading. As I have done in the past, I thought my first post for the New Year […]

This is Mary's quilt, the quilt that started it all. Can you believe that Mary saw my blog post yesterday and sent me the link to the photo of her using her sunflower quilt on her dining table for a harvest party? Go check out her link and be inspired, as I was! Mary has […]
Speaking of baby quilts, my student has started her third charity quilt. We had some nice pastel fabrics donated to us, so we are using these this time, rather than going shopping and spending money. My student is very fond of the Friendship Star block, as she made her mom four mug coasters featuring that […]
There is no room in the studio for a new project. No room. So where did these strips end up? Why, on the arm of the rocking chair of course. Strips? What strips? The only strips you should be working with are the red French General strips for your Pineapple blocks. Ok, so those are […]
Today I am pleased to share with you a quilt made by Jane, who reads this blog. She has been following along with my progress on Message in a Bottle, and thought I might enjoy seeing a quilt she made using some of the same blue and brown fabrics that are in my quilt. Isn't […]
You didn't even know I had started this one, did you? I made it in just a couple of hours. Amazing, isn't it? I could start my own Quilt In A Day show. Want to know my secret? The entire quilt center is about the size of a piece of printer paper. Did I fool […]
