More Quilts Out For Quilting
Sara is doing a happy dance, now that I have the borders on her Log Cabin quilt. This quilt is going out for quilting this week, and will be a nice addition to her bedroom decor in her new house. Gosh, I had so much fun with all of you, voting on which log cabin…

Out The Door
I am feeling so good about donating some of my unquilted tops to various charitable organizations! Here is one I called "Inner Cowgirl" that I sent off last week. I still think it is kind of cute, just not for me. Here is another cheery one that hopefully, someone will like. I believe this was…

Quilt Donations
Thanks for all the encouraging comments regarding my gigantic stack of unquilted tops. You are so right, I definitely enjoyed picking out the fabrics and piecing those quilts. Most of them anyway. I am going to start sending the ones that deserve it out to be quilted and give them to my loved ones. As…

Where Are They Now?
I thought it would be fun to go back four years and see what I was working on and share it with you. Since my sewing progress has been pretty much nil lately, this will be a way to at least share some content with you. Let's check out what I was working on then…

2015, Mini Quilts
2015 was the Year of the Mini Quilt for me. I found making these smaller quilts lots of fun. Using them as little table toppers throughout the house made me happy. Mini quilts use little fabric, and are ideal for charm squares, layer cakes or scraps. Anytime you love a fabric collection, but don't really…

2015, A Retrospective, Part One

Indecision in the Sewing Room
I am itching to start a new project, and I had it in mind that I would get back to my simplified Granny Square blocks. But then…. I was reading the blogs in my blog feed and found a recent post by the folks at Primitive Gatherings. You may or may not know that…

Hi Ho Hi Ho, It’s Off To Be Quilted We Go
How about that? Three quilts off to the quilters! Took me about three hours to cut, sew and press all three backings. I always put that step off as long as I can for some reason. That is boring sewing, for sure. Do you piece your backings? I didn't used to. I liked finding…

Second Hand Clothes, A Finish
I am so pleased with this quilt. Every single bit of it, I love. The pattern is Second Hand Clothes by Bonnie Blue/Red Crinoline, and the fabrics mostly Kim Diehl designs over the past year or two. There is a vibrancy to the quilt that makes my eye dance over its surface. There is liveliness,…
