This may be my simplest Christmas quilt, but it is the one I would grab if the house was on fire. The pattern is common as dirt and the fabrics are just all the Christmas fabrics that were available at the time I made the quilt top–about ten years ago. At the time I made […]
I gave a letter to the postman,he put it his sack.But in early next morning,he brought my letter back. She wrote upon it:Return to sender, address unknown.No such number, no such zone.We had a quarrel, a lover's spatI write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back. Poor Elvis. Sad, huh? Why would anyone […]
Thank you Susan, who suggested that my camera problem was probably a memory card issue. I took the memory card out of my camera and re-inserted it. That did the trick. It just needed to stretch or get a breath of fresh air or something. Also, my goodness, what a lot of comments I […]
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 looked it up, and actually, it isn't. However, when it is, people tend to have problems with mechanical devices. Which I am. So I wondered. My camera is telling me that I have a memory disc error. I have no clue what that means, and hope my goose isn't cooked. I love my camera. […]
If you have been trying to finish up a holiday quilt in time for Christmas, by all means do it! It is such a joy to surround myself with quilts that express the festivity and happiness I feel at this time of the year. I love the concept of having a Christmas quilt on every […]

Some folks let their quilts sit for months before they get the bindings sewn on. Others love making the blocks, but hate the lay out and row construction. I […]
Good morning. This is my sleepy self saying, "Hope you all had a safe and happy Thanksgiving". Mine was lovely, and I seem to be operating in low gear today. Probably the effects of too much turkey (and mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie). Seriously, it is a known fact that […]
The best thing about having a quilting blog? The kindness of other bloggers! You can share your work, see what others are making, exchange tips, join challenges and generally offer support and friendship to others who share your passion. Today I have a big reason to celebrate blogging. Yesterday I posted a picture of my […]
I know, I know, I am supposed to be working on my Red and White Snowball Challenge quilt. And I am, really. However, working on this red and white two color quilt got me thinking about a project I started about two years ago. I adore two color quilts, and back in June 2008 I […]
