It may technically be almost fall, but someone forgot to inform the weather where I live. It is 95 degrees as I write this, and the only pumpkin spice latte I can imagine is in the form of a popsicle. I did make it to the Bay Area for my medical appointment and visit with […]
I’ve been working on assembling the Pumpkin Spice quilt. This was a sew-along hosted by Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings. The sew-along was a quick one, lasting eight weeks this summer. Every week, we had an assignment to make a certain number of blocks that we would later assemble into the whole quilt top. You […]
The clock is ticking down, and summer will soon be at an end. Have you had your fill of tomatoes yet? Me either. I celebrated my love of tomatoes this past weekend when my son in law invited Dennis and I over for Sunday dinner. He asked if I would make a salad and I […]
The first blocks in the Fat Quarter Shop Autumn Nights sew-along are these Wonky Stars. Fast and easy, and quite forgiving, since there is plenty of room for the points. I am a bit behind with this project due to losing a couple of weeks in my Great Blog Migration drama. I picked up my […]
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 […]

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 […]
Today’s post is a little look into my life lately. The first thing is my reminder that I am moving this blog to WordPress. 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 […]
