quilt blocks

I finished the 2 quilts in the last couple weeks, and I’m super proud of myself, but I still have many quilts that have been in a giant UFO stack for the last couple of years. With fall, and Halloween coming up soon, I decided to pull out the spooky wall hanging quilt I’d left…

Anna’s Crazy Christmas Blocks – A Progress Post

Romance as a Quilt

Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been piecing yet another crazy quilt.  That in itself isn’t surprising.  What’s surprising is that it’s a Valentine’s Day quilt.  That means lots of pink.  Pink isn’t normally my color, but I ran across a great vintage-inspired Valentine’s Day print fabric at JoAnn’s, and when I did, I knew…

I Finished That Halloween Quilt

I finally finished that Halloween quilt that I started in October.  I got the top done before Halloween, but I didn’t take the time to get it it quilted and bound.  So, thanks to this #sew365 resolution, I got caught up on enough other projects, and had no excuse not to finish the quilt. The…
