Well folks, I’ve had to make some decisions lately about my priorities…don’t we all? And looking at my schedule of projects that need to be completed (or started!) I’ve realized that I’m a little over extended. I had to make the tough decision about what to let go. The most logical thing seemed to be […]
This quilt has been a long time in the making. I believe that I started the blocks over 3 years ago. I had just discovered modern quilting and this was my very first attempt at not using a pattern for the blocks. Improvising was a completely new concept for me! I had a bit of

This is one of the first baby quilts that I made for a friend a few years ago. They, like us, struggle with fertility and they had decided to adopt a beautiful boy from Guatemala. It was very exciting to be part of their journey from home inspections, to placement, to knowing they were finally

All about Cherri House’s lovely new book “City Quilts”. If you haven’t seen or heard about this book climb out from under your rock and embrace the fabulous world of quilts made entirely of solids. That’s right…no prints. We love them, but when you see Cherri’s quilts you’ll want to buy every single solid fabric
When I signed up for the Mug Rug swap I foolishly thought “oh good, a quick little swap that I can whip out in a couple of hours”. Then I realized that I am who I am and that just isn’t my style. LOL. I rarely whip anything out. It’s been known to happen and

It already feels like forever ago that I sent off my own doll quilt and I’ve been patiently waiting for mine ever since. Patiently…I promise…really… Well at least I wasn’t obsessing over it. LOL. And then today I got a package that gave me a sneaking suspicion just from the packaging that it was both

Isn’t it lovely when you get things accomplished that have been on your too do list for far too long? That’s what I was able to do this weekend. They are little things, but I actually had a bit of a life this weekend and went to a lovely dinner, dance fundraiser. We got all
