Out of the Blue Quilt Graveyard…
I know. Just reflect on that for a moment. When I was reminded that I had made a blue and white Winding Ways quilt awhile back, I decided to see if I could dig it out of the flimsy bin. Well, bless my heart, it wasn't the only blue quilt waiting to be quilted in…

Once More With Feeling…
I know I have posted on how to make flying geese in the past, but I continue to get requests from readers on what my favorite method is. Without a doubt, my favorite method is to make the flying geese units larger than necessary, and to use Monique Dillard's Fit to be Geese ruler to…
