Friday Favorites
There are things that I have always been my favorite – like my husband and mint chocolate chip ice cream. But, it doesn’t hurt to add a few things to my favorites list every now and then. Here are a few of my favorite things right now. 1. Epic Room Makeovers Vintage Revivals‘ recently did…
Read MoreFiery Labyrinth Ready for the Quilter
I’m always amazed how much faster quilt backs go together than the front, even when you have a decorative back. The back on the White Labyrinth quilt was supposed to have a 20-inch inset block in it, using the fabrics from the front. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough strips in lengths I needed, so my…

With Friday having been the Friday Night Sew-In, I wanted to get it out of the unfinished pile. After all, I’ve already started another quilt you’ll hear about in a few…
Read MoreFriday Night Sew In
I’m doing Friday Night Sew-In tonight! It’s my very first one. Tonight I’m planning to add the binding to my yellow spiral quilt and hopefully get a little more done on my newest quilt project, or maybe make a zip pouch that goes with my Weekender bag.
