I just can't tell you how much I appreciate all the information that was shared with me this week on the subject of longarm quilting machines. I am trying to respond to each of you to express my thanks. What was interesting, is that even though I opened the opportunity for people to share any […]
I am so appreciative of the ton of comments and emails I got yesterday when I asked for Longarm recommendations. Honestly, you have given me enough to research for the next six months! I can see first and foremost that not only do I need to do continue to do lots of reading up on […]
OK, this is strange. I have discovered the equivalent of a pot of gold. Seriously. Turns out that I have a small annuity that I didn't know about. It isn't a lot, but I sure wasn't expecting it. Now, I could use it to put a new roof on the house or go on a […]
I realize that it is St. Patrick's Day, not St. Valentine's Day, but I think you will see that this post is appropriate anyway! You see, my son has fallen in love with an Irish girl from Galway. And he asked me to make her a quilt to express his regard for her. She is […]
We have to talk. Several people have emailed me to ask for the pattern for this quilt, which I made two years ago at a retreat. I had a blast making the quilt, and have to admit the fabrics were totally copied off another gal at the retreat who was using them as well. I […]

Why would anyone […]
I love this Christmas quilt. The pattern is an early Fig Tree called Simple Baskets. I have always been fond of basket blocks, and this was my first attempt at one. The fabrics are mostly from 3 Sisters for Moda. I can't recall the names of the groups I used, but there may […]
I had a productive weekend! Maybe not so much as Lisa, who has been on her annual Quilting Retreat, but still, I did all right. What you see in the picture above is the center part of the Flowers for Clara quilt, a pattern by Bonnie Blue. I love this. LOVE this. This is a […]
My sister Andrea was given the old quilt pictured above. She has been blogging about her dilemma concerning this quilt on her blog Under A Blue Moon, and has asked me to post a picture of it and raise the questions that have been on her mind. You see, this quilt is in not such […]
