Welcome to my stop on the Fabulous Summer Sampler 2018. This year, the focus is on blocks designed by travel inspirations. I must admit that I have never been to my inspiration location China, but I have long admired the architectural beauty of buildings and furniture indigenous to the culture. Perhaps someday I will […]

Last night I got to work on my October blocks for Brioni for Busy Bees. I feel so much more in control now that I don’t have as many bees…it was really hard to keep everything straight. I still have plenty going on, so I like to finish blocks as soon as I can for
Nine patches and pretty fabric! Read More »
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

Somehow I’ve turned into a blog button designer for a couple of my quilting groups. I totally don’t know what I am doing, but it all comes together in the end. And though my groups are all about fabric and quilting, I don’t end up putting that into the button! LOL. I guess I like

Okay folks…here it is…the last mini quilt I think that I’ll be making for a while. And when I say Mini I mean it! This little quilt is about 13″ tall and 9″ wide. And it’s all based on the children’s book “Harold and the Purple Crayon”. Being a new mom, I’m not super in

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
I got my doll quilt!!! Read More »
Yesterday I somehow managed to make two different blocks for a couple of my bees, the bee a little bit Japanese and Busy Bees. I’ve had the Japanese fabric from Paula a bit longer, so I wanted to work on that one first. The instructions were to make two blocks that featured wonky houses or
I wish I were a little bit Japanese…but I know I’m busy! Read More »
