A few months ago I bought a darling quilt kit from Cottage Quilts online shop. They had assembled a beautiful assortment of fabrics from Moda’s Chocolat collection and put them together as a kit to be used along with this sampler quilt book, "Country Gatherings" by Dillard & Glordi. The book has several different suggestions […]
The Celebrate Spring Fatquarter Challenge between Darlene of Quilting Daze, Dawn of Quilts and Pieces, and myself is officially over. The challenge was issued by Darlene and the task was to use the same fatquarter fabric group (Celebrate Spring by Sandy Gervais for Moda), and create independent quilting projects within a one month time frame. […]
Sara asked me to help her come up with some prototypes of fast easy projects that would put charm squares to a good use. She is planning to set up an online shop this summer and wants to create some quilt kits that will appeal to beginning quilters as well as experienced quilters who want […]
I thought it might be time to show you all another quilt made by my sister Kate. This bargello quilt is a real beauty. It is the second bargello quilt that she has made. Instead of me telling you all about it, here you have it straight from Kate: "Well, the book I used is […]

My goodness. What a surprise to me that so many blogging friends were interested in adopting my orphan Christmas quilt blocks! I printed out all the entries and placed them in my favorite green hat. I tossed them around for a while, then, closing my eyes and holding my breath….. I pulled out this slip […]
I feel positively exhilarated! Since finishing up a couple of UFOs, I have permitted myself to begin a new project for each completed one. The newest project I have come up with is inspired by the brand new Yuletide Blessings fabric group (Fig Tree for Moda). Yummy faded cherry reds and sagey greens combined with […]
It’s pink and green and burgundy and it’s DONE. I have been working on this thing for over a year off and on, and was determined to finally complete it as part of my recent Banish the UFO’s pledge. The pattern is Six Degrees by Miss Rosie’s Quilt Company, and the fabric is Anna’s Starry […]
