I am seriously going to be broke, but I am sending a lot of quilts out to be quilted. They have languished too long and it's time to get off the pot and get them finished. Look at all those packages of backing fabric. That set me back a few bucks too. I did get […]
Oh my gosh, can I tell you how much I love this quilt? I just unpacked it and spread it out on the floor to take a picture. I've been calling it the Love quilt (for obvious reasons). It is one of two quilts I made out of the Moda Blockheads 3 experience. I am […]
When it comes to accurate piecing, there is a lot of talk about accurate cutting and an accurate scant quarter-inch seam allowance. It is absolutely true that if you don't have those two things going for you, your piecing will not be accurate. However, there are a few other pointers I'd like to share that […]
I am definitely on a roll with sending quilts out to be quilted. This one is an old Miss Rosie pattern called Viola. I revisited my notes on it, and see that I made it slightly smaller than the pattern directed. I kind of wish I had made it the full size, but I guess […]
Archie loves his porch time, especially if we are all out there together. He isn't that impressed with my 4th of July decorations, but I have had fun putting things out for us to enjoy this year. That flag quilt on the rocker is a Minick and Simpson pattern I made called Liberty Road. I […]
Eva's graduation quilt came back from the quilter just in time for her graduation next week. I still have to sew on the binding, but I thought I would share the finished quilt. For those of you who are new, this quilt was inspired by the calendar year, and all the activities Eva and I […]
Are you looking forward to Halloween yet? I know, I know, it is still Spring, why would anyone be thinking of Fall holidays? Well, if you have a quilt top and have a hope of having it quilted by then, you need to be planning ahead. I have a Halloween quilt top that has been […]
Do you keep a quilting journal? I keep a few pages on my quilting projects in an all-purpose journal where I track my reading, favorite recipes, and inspirational ideas. It helps me focus on what I have going on and my aspirational goals. This past year was a sad one for finishing projects. So many […]
This is my brother-in-law Greg opening the quilt I gave him for Christmas. There was a bit of a delay after the actual holiday until the family could get together for a gift exchange. Unfortunately, I couldn't be there because I can't leave my husband for very long just yet. I had given the quilt […]
Blueberry Delight is back from the quilter and I love how it works on my January tablescape. I love to have some blue and white in my decor during the period after Christmas. I enjoy the crisp coolness of that palette after the hectic red and green of the holidays. This pattern is free from […]
