900 Baskets Later….
900 baskets later, I have 85 that I am going to keep in the quilt. Here they are, not quite finished being arranged, but nearly. Next step is to cut out and attach the striped lattice. Thelma told me that the amount of fabric in the kit is just barely or even maybe not quite…

My Student’s Work
My student is on Spring Break this week, and has been getting in as much sewing time as she can. She has now finished her third and final charity quilt top for her senior project. I am just so proud of her. These fabrics were donated to us, and I am happy to say we…

A Finish and a Continuation
Long Road Home is off my design wall! All the rows are stitched together and I am so happy to be able to call this a Finish. I really do like the homey look of the fabrics. This will be a great quilt to throw over a chair and to cuddle up under. I tried…

Pretty in Pink
Speaking of baby quilts, my student has started her third charity quilt. We had some nice pastel fabrics donated to us, so we are using these this time, rather than going shopping and spending money. My student is very fond of the Friendship Star block, as she made her mom four mug coasters featuring that…

Baby Burp Cloths
Next time you make a baby quilt, you might want to make a few burp cloths to go with it. When Eva was a baby, goodness, did we ever use a ton of these. I buy the prefolded diapers that have a thicker portion down the center. You can find them at places like Target…
