"Honey? What's that strange light coming from the sky?" Oh, it's the SUN! Hello sunshine, hello. It's been dark for a very long time….We have had something like 25 consecutive days of rain here, and today it didn't rain! With any luck, we will have a few days to dry out before the next storm […]
I swear, this quilt made itself. I LOVE this quilt. It is from a pattern by Artichoke Collection called All Wrapped Up. Not sure if you if you can find the pattern any more. I was told the partners who were Artichoke Collection split up. 🙁 The applique was super simple, but for some reason (probably […]
No, I have not completely lost my mind. I have been working diligently on my Eventide Ohio Star blocks. Seriously, I have. Really. The blocks in the photo above are not my Ohio Star blocks for Eventide. I was rummaging around in the dresser in my sewing room and rooted out these leftover "reject" blocks […]
I finished my two mini Roundabout table toppers from the Miss Rosie Schnibbles pattern of the same name! Keep in mind, I cut the size of my topper down to only nine blocks so it would fit in the center of my kitchen table. Here is Numero Uno: And guess what? I love it best of […]

The fabric I used is a combination of French General (for Moda) collections: primarily Rural Jardin, but including Rouenneries and Lumiere de Noel. My friend Thelma, from Cupcakes […]
Well, no quilts made in January. I had good intentions, and if left alone, I would have finished a baby quilt. However, just as my day was getting started yesterday, I got a call from a co-worker, begging me to take her shift. Her father's cousin's brother's neighbor's girlfriend was giving birth and since she […]
I had a wonderful few days off visiting my daughter. Now I am home, and ready to get to sewing! The holidays are over, my work schedule has lessened, and I am ready to focus on my true passion: quilting! My friend Thelma and I plan to do a project together. It is a Bonnie Blue […]
This stunning quilt was made by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. I got to see it in person while I was in Illinois in September taking a class from her. The quilt is a pattern called Brown Eyed Girl, made with the 3 Sisters collection Aster Manor. Great quilt, great color choice with […]
Thelma and I have been talking about making this quilt "Belle Meade" for the longest time. We both thought it would look really pretty done up in the French General collection "Rural Jardin". After much discussion, we decided to begin this project sometime after the New Year. But we keep bringing it up when we […]
