Belle Meade
Thelma and I have been talking about making this quilt "Belle Meade" for the longest time. We both thought it would look really pretty done up in the French General collection "Rural Jardin".

Route 44
This is the shop sample Quilters General made up for the Miss Rosie's class I took in Illinois. It was a gorgeous quilt, enhanced by some very nice quilting. Here is Carrie's quilt. She looks kinda goofy in the picture, but it is because she is talking to us about her quilt. I caught her…

Well, then think again. I am flying to Chicago today, to meet up with three women I met through blogging. Lisa of Stashmaster, Thelma of Cupcakes 'n' Daisies, and Allyson of Fat Cat Quilts.

Happy Fall!
According to what I read on the Internet, the official Autumnal Equinox is tomorrow, but it feels like fall today. I got the binding on my little Roundabout Schnibbles, and it adds a rather festive accent to the kitchen table. See that bowl in the center? That came all the way from Ireland. My son's…
