I am so happy with this finish! Putting the blocks together was a project and a half, and I admit to getting bogged down when it came to sewing them together. The blocks have been on my design wall for weeks and weeks. The pattern is Signs of String by Clark Street Quilts and the…

Stars and Baskets All Quilted
I received my Stars and Baskets quilt back from the quilter, and I am so pleased with it. I decided to go with a feathers quilting design, as suggested by a couple of you (thanks Sharon), and am thrilled with the choice. I felt that quilting design was in keeping with the "era" the quilt…

This is another favorite spot for me to sit. Not so much in the heat of the day, but it sure is lovely early in the morning or in the evening. On the love seat you can see my new Double Nine Patch quilt. Gosh, it certainly did surprise me, how much I love that…

Courthouse Steps is Finish
Courthouse Steps is finally a finish. This quilt has been at least a year in the making. I started out strong, then put the project away, and only brought it back out in the New Year. This is my year to Use It Up, so the quilt is made entirely of scraps from my stash…
