Cutest Quilt Block Ever
Cherries. How cute is this quilt block? I got it out of the Lori Holt Farm Girl Vintage 1 book. It is a 6-inch block, so the pieces are pretty tiny, but it wasn't too bad to make. It took some time, but wasn't difficult. I think it is adorable. I have been plugging along…

Are you all Kristin Hannah fans? Her book The Nightingale is a favorite of so many people. That one was about two sisters and their experiences during WWII in France. A year or so ago she came out with The Great Alone, a story of a Vietnam vet with PTSD who moved his family to…

Quilt Home
This is my Comfort and Blessings quilt which was a sew-along last year hosted by Piecing the Past. I really enjoyed this sew-along, which was a block of the week.
