I think I mentioned a few posts ago that I have been invited to teach Miss Rosie quilt patterns at my favorite local quilt shop. I had two quilts in mind for this spring calendar session, with the idea that I would teach one class in March and the second one in May. I received […]
We have a winner! Cindy of Too Much Fabric, Too Little Time has without a doubt the messiest work space I have ever seen. She has PILES of things. What a colossal mess. Her hands must have been shaking with fear as she took this picture, because it is a teensy bit blurry. I had […]
Only one more border and this quilt top will be finished! The final reveal won’t be much of a surprise, but I have a little something extra up my sleeve as a bonus. Please check out Lisa, Perry, and Cindy’s blog sites to see their progress on this joint Blended Challenge Project. I returned from […]
istockphoto Greetings from Nashville. I didn’t think this whole country thing was quite my style, but I have to admit, it is growing on me. Think Rockabilly, line dancing, ribs, big hair, cowboy hats, fringe and rhinestones. Oh my, I can definitely say that it is fun, even if I won’t be adopting the rhinestones […]

I am having a very happy time playing with ideas for blended quilts. It has become a bit of an obsession, really. And my Blended Challenge friends are a bit stalled out these past couple of weeks, so I hesitate to blather on about the subject of Blended Quilts, but I just can’t help myself. […]
My friend Karen at Living Life at Leehaven recently posted a picture of her messy cutting table and played a game to see if she could spy 15 things on its cluttered surface. I thought it was such a cute, fun idea and asked her if I could steal her concept and start a tag […]
This is a tool known as the Precision Trimmer. If you do not have one, run out to your local quilt shop, or log on to your favorite Internet quilt supplier and get one right away. Do not delay, do not pass Go, just get one. I do not know how I existed without this […]
I love accuracy, which is probably why quilting appeals to me. If you are off in your measurements for cutting, seam allowance or a myriad of other considerations, your project can come out all sloppy and wonky. In tomorrow’s post, I will show you a tool that helps me out a lot, but first I […]
