Double Exposure Quilt
With the completion of my Steampunk Quilt top, I was definitely in a quilting groove. For my next project, decided to go back to something simple, with lots of straight lines, and absolutely NO embroidery. I made myself a black and white version of the Perfect Ten quilt from Swirly Girls Design. It started with…

I consider myself a fairly new quilter, having only been doing it for a couple of years. However, I also seem to be fairly prolific in the number of quilts that I have made in that time. At my house, I currently display quilts on an old fashioned quilt rack. Needless to say, it’s getting…

However, thanks to some inspiration from Gloria McKinnon and her book Glorious Embellishing, I’m taking my time with this quilt top and adding some real crazy quilt detailing. In…
Read MoreThe Original Crazy Quilt
As I was looking for photos of my first crazy quilt the other day, I realized that I never actually did a post sharing the finished quilt with you. I finished this quilt a year ago and sent it out to Cara of Cara Quilts to be quilted. She did a fabulous job. Each of…

I’ve got a couple things to share with you today. First, I’ve made quite a bit of progress on my QAL quilt this week. I’ve got all the fabric for the front cut out, and I pieced together all 12 of the blocks with the large solid center. I really think I’m going to love…
