Oh boy. Trimming. As mentioned in a previous post, I am participating in Judy Laquidara’s Quilt for an Hour a Day project and have completed twelve blocks. The blocks have come together beautifully, but do require trimming down to size. The little pile of bits shown in my picture represents a LOT of trimming time. […]
We had house guests last weekend. My daughter, her husband, and one of their friends were going camping in Big Sur over the long weekend. Our house is about half way between Big Sur and where they live, so they asked if they could stay with us on Friday night. One of my favorite things […]
I made a baby quilt this weekend. Want to know why? When I was a little girl, people would ask me, as adults are apt to do with children, "So, Nicki, what do you want to be when you grow up?" I always gave the same answer, to everyone’s amusement. Forget about ballerinas, nurses, teachers, […]
I adore a scrappy quilt. No sense in using four or five fabrics when forty or fifty are so much more interesting. Oh, I have made my share of planned quilts that involve specific amounts of yardage using just a few different fabrics, but those quilts tend to bore me. In my mind, the main […]

Best of all, part of […]
I spent the day puttering around the house, going to the plant nursery and bringing out my spring quilts. There is a fresh lovely scent in the air that promises Spring is really on its way. Every February I am thankful that I live in California, when the plum trees blossom, the daffodils start coming […]
My goal for February has been to reduce my stash, purchase no new fabric, and finish up projects I had started but set aside when something more interesting came along. Last weekend I dragged these blocks down from the shelf and decided it was time I pieced them together. The fabric was from a kit […]
Some quilts are just made to be owned by certain people. This quilt is one I made five or six years ago. I used silky beautiful Robin Pandolph Moda fabrics and recall how I loved the feel of the fabric and how much fun it was to combine different combinations of the fat quarters. It […]
Welcome to my newly created blog!!! I chose the name Sister’s Choice, not only because it is one of my favorite block patterns, but because I have four beautiful sisters who are my best friends in the world. In addition, I see all of the women who love quilting as being a sisterhood connected by […]
