You may or may not have noticed one of the latest quilting pattern crazes around the internet world…Granny Squares. Yes, we have all been struck silly with the power that is a simple block full of tiny squares. I resisted for forever (so it seems! it was probably more like a month) and finally decided […]

Well I guess I’ve been on a mission to finish off my UFOs. When I started working on them I didn’t think that I was going to focus on them so much…I just wanted to motivate myself to get a couple off of my plate. But now that I’ve started, I can’t stop! I keep

I posted a question in the Mug Rug Group asking whether I should make a “story” mug rug that would probably not be super practical…or a quilted one that would be. I could see my secret partner liking either. It seemed that the people who knew me who answered all said hands down that I
For my regular readers, you have obviously seen this quilt before, but for all the visitors, welcome! I hope you enjoy the story and the quilt and the journey to create both. I made this quilt for the doll quilt swap on flickr and I was so happy to have the creative freedom from my

oh how time flies some days! I didn’t realize that it had been so many days since I had posted! A whole 3 days! Gasp! The Horror! In my defense, because I was not blogging, I was getting some sewing done. And let’s be honest. If I don’t sew, then I really don’t have anything

Remember these obscure and hard to see photos? LOL. Well…I’ve been working on that! No rest for the weary! I have commitments! This is the beginning of a quilt for Spiced Coffee for the Charming Mini swap. For some reason I felt the need to make a whole bunch of mini quilts lately. (I still
