Eventide on Crack

 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 […]

Two Mini Roundabouts

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 […]

Proud Finish: Belle Meade

  I am quite proud of this quilt.  The pattern is by Bonnie Blue and is called Belle Meade.  The quilt top calls for 656 half square triangles.  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 […]

No Quilts in January

 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 […]

Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment

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 […]

Belle Meade

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 […]

Miss Rosie’s Trunk Show

I know what you want.  You want to see some quilts, don't you?  I sure did see some amazing new Miss Rosie's Quilt Company quilts while taking classes with Carrie Nelson this past weekend.  All these patterns are available for purchase.  I will let the glory of her work speak for itself.       […]
