istockphoto I’ve been tagged by Sharon of Red Geranium Cottage and Angela of Cottage Magpie (two of my favorite blogs by the way), to post my To Do List. Hmmm. This has been something I have been reflecting upon lately. A couple of weeks ago, I would have had dozens of quilty projects to list. […]
I went a bit nuts this weekend. I started two new projects. I know, I know, you have all heard me vow not to start a single new thing until I actually FINISH something, but, oh well. Things just got the best of me. The borders for my Return to Sender Christmas quilt stared balefully […]
Jelly Rolls. If there is anyone out there who doesn’t know what this hot new quilting temptation is, a jelly roll is an entire fabric collection that has been laser cut into 2 1/2" strips, rolled up like a bakery confection and tied with a bow. Each pack contains one 44" long strip of each […]
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 […]

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 […]
As you know, Darlene of Quilting Daze and Dawn of Quilts and Pieces and I have been working on a Spring Fatquarter Challenge, each of us using the same fabric line "Celebrate Spring" designed by Sandy Gervais for Moda. We began the challenge on May 1, posting a little clue about our work in progress […]
Are you like me, and constantly buy bananas with the best intention of slicing them on cereal or eating them out of hand? I buy them all the time and love to see them sitting perched on top of the other fruit in the fruit bowl on the counter. They look lovely at first, all […]
The quilt you see in the background of this photograph is soon going to be part of my life. My son recently travelled to Wisconsin to visit his Aunt Mary, who happens to live in the vicinity of my all-time favorite quilt shop, JJStitches in Sun Prairie. This shop was featured a year of so […]
About Me
Hello, I’m Nicole, an enthusiastic quilter and fabric lover.
