Welcome Back!
Well, hey there. Welcome back to my blog! Due to a lot of big changes going on around here this summer, I have had to take a fairly long break from both sewing and blogging. Most of the changes have been good ones, and the rest we will all adapt to in time. The most…

Welcome to the final reveal of the Blogger Girls BOM, hosted by Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts. This beautiful design of Monique's has been such fun to work on over the past six months.

Blogger Girls BOM Month Six

Sigh of Relief
I am sighing a big sigh of relief to have gotten three quilts finished this past weekend. These are going to be wonderful additions to my quilt collection, and I have no excuse for dragging things out so long. Get them done, get them quilted, and get them on the beds! The quilt in the…

Three Big Finishes!
I had three big finishes this weekend. I will share one today, and the other two tomorrow. For some reason, I stall when it comes to getting the borders on my quilts. I have a big push to get my blocks sewn together, and then completely lose steam (and interest) in seeing things through to…
