Once again the Quilt Festival of online quilters is taking off. I participated in the first one, missed the second one, but I’m here again for the third. Amy at Park City Girl has started something amazing with the simple idea of bloggers sharing their favorite quilt that they’ve made and why it is so […]

I got a group of fabulous quilters together for a new bee, Busy Bees. It took some sweet talking, but I’m so excited to work with all of these women. We’re starting in June, so I sent out the packages today as I have the first month. After some deliberation and quivers, I finally decided

I finally have the quilt top done for my latest little quilt. I started these blocks a few years ago and they were my first attempt at a Denyse Schmidt style improv log cabin. I was very happy with some of them, okay with others, and down right unhappy with others. I was frustrated by

So I’ve pulled a quilt out from under the bed and dusted it off and started working on it again. It feels good to make progress on one of my unfinished pieces. I’ve had these blocks in various stages for about 2 years and I just could not figure out what to do with them.

So I think that I’m now going to be in 5 different bees! That’s a record…but so far nothing has overlapped. Of course two of them haven’t started yet, so that could be why. I’m in Bee Modern, Bee Liberated, Pretty in Pink, Busy Bees, and we’re starting Ravishing in Red. Every group is different
So many quilt bees…. Read More »
Well, I posted a sneak peak of the string quilt that I was working on before Easter. I did manage to finish it in time, but by the skin of my teeth. I even machine stitched the binding (something I’ve never done!) in order to finish in time. I was taking pictures of the quilt

Well I’ve been quite busy sewing away on the latest quilt. It’s a bit larger than I normally make, plus it’s a string paper pieced quilt. So that all adds up to a lot of work. Here’s a pic of all the blocks finished and ready to be sewn together. I’m actually much farther than
I took a break from my current quilt to work on the Blocks for Bee Modern for April. I’m not quite sure what is going on with February and March…we never received any fabric for those months. But maybe we will in April. That would be ironic wouldn’t it? Jane sent us authentic Japanese fabric
