Easiest Quilt Labels Ever
Do you hate making quilt labels? I do. I used to be fairly good about labeling the quilts I made, and still am, but only the ones I give away. It seems such a bother, such a last minute after thought. I know how important it is, so for me, it's one more thing to…

Baby Quilt Finish
This is the little quilt that Sara and I collaborated on. Some dear friends had their first baby, a little boy, and this quilt just seems so appropriate. Daddy is a helicopter pilot, so the pinwheel design of the blocks seems sort of aeronautically themed. The quilt was beautifully quilted by Mary Flynn of Quilt…

Geranium Dress
After I made the recent somewhat disappointing dress for Eva, I got a lot of recommendations from readers for little girls dress patterns that actually fit and go together well. One of the names that came up several times was the Geranium Dress, by Made by Rae. I ordered the pdf download and printed…

Easy Angle or Folded Corner Clipper?
I recently learned about a ruler called the Folded Corner Clipper, a handy tool for when you need to sew squares on corners. There is a quarter inch seam allowance and ruler markings that when all in alignment, give you very accurate blocks. You line up the ruler with your pieces of fabric, and…

President’s Day Table
Happy President's Day to you all. My area had last Monday off in honor of the occasion, but on my calendar, it says President's Day is today. This little quilt is a Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company, called Dulcinea. Fabric is by Minick and Simpson. All I need now is a cherry pie!

New Projects in the Works
As if I didn't have quite enough going on right now, I have started a couple of new projects. My daughter Sara wanted to make a quilt for a special friend, so we browsed through my quilting books to come up with a design idea. I hadn't used Kim Brackett's Scrap Basket Surprises book for…

Four Patch Fun
I've been busy making little four patch blocks this past few days. They go together so quickly and are the perfect project to work on while I watch episodes of Call the Midwife. (I am really enjoying that series). These four patches are for a sew along sponsored by American Patchwork and Quilting magazine,…

Scrappy Trips
Just a quickie post today. Here is Scrappy Trips all sewn together, minus borders. I think I will do a narrow confinement border in black, followed by a wider red border in one of American Jane's prints. Fun quilt to make, and I highly recommend it, especially if you have a couple of jelly…

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring
Ozzie has taken up residence under the bed. Wowie, have we ever had some big storms here where I live the past few days. Ozzie doesn't care for it much at all, and to Eva's great amusement, took refuge in her bed. She discovered him there at naptime, and figured it meant since he was…
