I am so excited to be participating in a Blog Hop this week to celebrate the launch of a new book by Monique Dillard, the talented quilter, author, and creator of the Fit To Be rulers! Her previous book "Fat Quarter Winners" was a big success last year, and this new release by C & […]
Have you heard of Anne Sutton's (Bunny Hill blog) Scrappy Plate Club? Oh my gosh, you should check it out. Anne is sponsoring a free tutorial on how to make a Dresden Plate Quilt, from beginning to end. Her instructions are so clear and understandable, a beginning level quilter could master the project. 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 […]
Woo hoo! In about a week I am going to be getting together with some friends and do some sewing! Mostly I am excited to see my friends, but also I wanted to get a seriously wonderful project ready to work on during the time that we will be sewing together. I am working on […]
I have been a lazy blogger this week. There isn't much going on in my life at the moment. Just enjoying the last lazy days of summer. Can you believe it is September already? Good grief, this summer has flown by. My desire to practice my machine quilting is still very much with me, and […]
I had some leftover blocks from my Simple Abundance/MoJo quilt, which I called the Ridiculously Cute Basket Quilt. Sara thought they would make an adorable little table topper, and combined them with some of my leftover scraps. How cute is this? No waste=a free table topper! She let me practice my machine quilting on it, which […]
I took a break from the Farmer's Wife project yesterday and finished up the blocks for my mini Bennington Schnibbles quilt. This will end up as a late summer/early fall table topper on my kitchen table. I am going to quilt it myself (deep breath, wish me luck), and can picture it already in my […]
This may just be one of my favorite quilts EVER!!! Linda from The Quilted Pineapple did the quilting for me, and it is exquisite. She did all of the quilting *freehand*, believe it or not! Trust me, this gal does great work. And her prices are reasonable too. Look at the close up of […]
