Works in Progress
It’s been a while since I’ve done a real Works in Progress post, but I figured that I should end the year right by telling you what all I’ve really still got in progress. First, let’s talk about the finished tops: My king-sized Communique quilt top and backing are still hanging out at the house,…
Read MoreAnna’s First Quilt
Once again, Anna has been gracious enough to share another one of her quilts with us. Today I am sharing with you Anna’s very first quilt, and let me tell you, I am impressed.

Read MoreIsa’s Baby Quilt
Today I am sharing the very first post from Guest Blogger, Anna. I’m so excited to share some of her work with you. Isa’s baby quilt was inspired by one of Andrea’s HST quilts. Isa knew the baby was a girl but she didn’t want pink “girly” things. As she is an organic agronomy…

This week has been slow for sewing progress, but I’m a little over halfway through the blocks for my 3rd border on the Rabbit Medallion quilt. You can see all of my progress through the second border on Monday’s post. And I’m making a little more progress on my Easter crazy quilt. I’ve done a…
Read MoreRabbit Medallion Quilt – 2nd Border
Last week I showed you what I did for the center and 1st border of my Rabbit Medallion Quilt. This week I want to share with you what I did for my second border – the stars with 16-patch centers. The center section of these 8-inch stars are 16-patch blocks from 1.5″ squares, giving me…
