Really. I really really really really LOVE this quilt. I haven't had so much fun making a quilt in years. It took the fun level up to previously unexplored levels. If you have had an idea that you might want to make this quilt, just go for it. You will love it too. Just make […]
Welcome, August. Summer is on it's way out in many places, where days are noticablely shorter already and folks' thoughts are turning to fall. Well, here where I live, it is going to be an average of 90 degrees most days until the end of October, but I know it isn't too soon to be […]
Besame mucho means Kiss Me A Lot. And lots of kissing is what I feel like doing now that this adorable quilt is finished! Pattern is Kiss Me by Fig Tree Quilts, fabric is Strawberry Fields, also by Fig Tree for Moda. Joanna Figueroa is the designer. Aside from some tricky cutting (made easier if […]
I am so excited to show you a proper finish! This is a pattern called "Memory" by Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts. Back in March I participated in a book launch for her latest book Traditional Fat Quarter Quilts: 11 Traditional Quilt Projects from Open Gate Quilts. We were all asked to choose a […]

And the […]
One of the things we did while Ahren and Mary Ann are here visiting, is to celebrate Christmas. They had originally planned to be here for the holidays, but left buying their tickets a bit late. By the time they were ready to book their flights, prices were through the roof. So they decided to […]
Thanks for all your supportive comments regarding my experience taking Grandpa with me to the quilt show. I sure did think of a lot of things I might have said to that horrid woman who swiped his chair as he was preparing to sit in it–unfortunately I had a delayed reaction and stood stunned with […]
Along with the optimism I feel for the new year, I have a gazillion ideas for new projects dancing around in my head. Sara had purchased the jelly roll in the photo above a couple of years ago, with the thought of making a quilt. Life got in the way and she never made it and passed the […]
