My quilter and I called this quilt "Modern", for lack of a better name. It is an Evelyn Sloppy pattern called Apple Crisp, from her book 40 Rotary Cut Quilts. I have someone very pizzazzy in mind for this quilt. The colors are so amazing, and I think she will love it. The fabric collection is […]
Of all of my Christmas gift quilts, I have to say, this one is my favorite. It is called Message in a Bottle, a Miss Rosie's Quilt Company pattern. I love everything about this quilt. The colors are gorgeous–a wonderful selection of Civil War blues, tans and browns from my stash, and the pattern the […]
This girly quilt is going to…one of the young women in the family. Big surprise. It is called Hugs and Kisses (a Fig Tree pattern) and is made with various reds from Fig Tree collections. I like the border for this one, with the grey print making a little saw tooth design. And this is […]
In the days leading up to Christmas, I thought it would be fun to share with you the quilts I am giving to my family members. Not all of these quilt tops were pieced in 2016. They were languishing in a box waiting to be quilted. This was the year it happened. Starting this past […]
Ozzie loves a Christmas quilt. I caught him napping on my favorite chair in the library, with his whiskers all askew. He doesn't look the slightest bit guilty, just sleepy and a bit rumpled. I wish I had time to take a snooze in my favorite chair with my current favorite Christmas quilt. But I […]
I made a couple more Magic of Christmas blocks over the weekend. I was rummaging around in one of the drawers in the sewing room dresser and discovered some 1" half square triangle papers, which I had not realized I had on hand. Lisa Bongean, who is sponsoring the Magic of Christmas sew along […]
I finished all my Zippy Bags yesterday. I think I must have made 12 or 13. They go fast if you get into assembly line production mode. Half the fun of these little bags is embellishing them with fun buttons. I picked a bunch up at Joann's awhile back when they were on sale, so […]
I can see the end in the distance! I have my fourteen or fifteen gift quilts piled up on the guest room bed, and all but five of them are bound and labeled and ready to give away. I will start taking some pictures and show you all the quilts I am gifting to my […]
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Ours was quiet, but just right. I did get together with the entire mob of my family on Sunday for the occasion of my dad's 91st birthday. Gosh, can you imagine? He is such a wonderful man, and I am so grateful that he has lived a full […]
Goodness, thank you all so much for weighing in yesterday when I was having doubts about what to give my brother in law for Christmas. A full size quilt like I was giving everyone else or a smaller table topper? The majority of you by far said I should do for him as I was […]
