I am so happy to have finally finished the Moonlight quilt from Susan Ache’s Halloween Memories book. This project was started the summer of 2024, and I was making great progress with it until my husband became ill. I packed it away and finally was able to get back to it this summer and get […]
It’s hard to pinpoint the exact moment when our kitchens transformed from humble cooking spaces into small-appliance showrooms, but somewhere between the rise of the Instant Pot and the air fryer revolution, it happened. Today, the average countertop looks less like a food prep zone and more like a halfway house for gadgetry. There’s the […]
This is a subject I have discussed in the past, but I think it deserves revisiting. There comes a time in each quilter’s life when she needs to face up to the UFO situation. Are you organized? Do you even know what unfinished projects are hidden away in your sewing room? If you went back […]
Does this happen to you? You find a quilt pattern that you love but find that it is much larger than you need. It can be hard to justify the time and expense of making another full-sized quilt when you already have a closet full of them. But you love a certain fabric line and […]
I am so excited to introduce you to my new WordPress Blog Site. I hope you like it as much as I do. Assuming you are reading this blog on a laptop or computer (and not your phone), in my opinion, the look is much cleaner and less cluttered, which I think is pleasing to […]

You can follow me there at sisterschoicequilts.blogI have already started posting there, but my site design hasn’t been created yet, so it is pretty bare bones. If it turns out the […]
Hi everyone, welcome to my Books of August 2025 reviews. I only read 10 books this month, but I think you are going to really enjoy some of them, as I certainly did. I read 5 books in print and the other 5 on my Kindle. More than half of these books were 4 stars […]
How do I store my quilts? I get asked that question a lot. Presumably directed to me from lovely people who assume I have some sort of system to preserve and display my quilts to their absolute best advantage. Well, that could not be farther from the truth. This is a perfect example of “do […]
Every fall, Fat Quarter Shop hosts a free sew-along. They typically have a Halloween theme, but this year they decided to focus on Autumn instead. This year's project is called Autumn Nights. FQS has chosen a beautiful new Fig Tree collection of fabric called Agatha Road, which is very similar to past fabric lines Joanna […]
I'd like you to meet Viola, another wonderful Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. pattern. I made this quilt a while back and never got around to having it quilted. It is actually supposed to be bigger: sixteen blocks total. I can't remember why I made it smaller. Kind of wish I'd gone with the full size. […]
