Displaying Fabric
Did you ever have a piece of fabric you loved so much that you just couldn’t use it in a project? I have a piece of fabric like that from my grandmother’s stash. It’s the very last piece of the fabric, just a little larger than a mini charm. So what do you do with…
Read MoreThe Local Quilt Shop
The local quilt shop, or LQS as it’s known in the blogosphere, has been making a comeback in my area. Even if I exclude the big box stores like Hobby Lobby and JoAnn’s there are no less than half a dozen quilting stores in my area. This is really exciting for me, because I love…
Read MoreYellow Spiral Quilt Finished
I’ve decided that the official title of the HST quilt I made using the yellow broadcloth and A Stitch in Color charm pack will be called the yellow spiral quilt. And guess what?! The top is done! Of course, that’s no thanks to my husband who called when I was in the middle of the…

Read MoreDear Jane
Dear Jane, I fell in love with your quilt the first time I saw it… of course, I would never make one. I haven’t the patience to make 225 of those 4.5 inch squares. But I do love your quilt. Of course, I’ve always loved “scrappy” quilts made with remnants of past projects. That’s probably…
Read MoreThat Quilt Project
So, it has occurred to me that I haven’t bothered to tell you all how my quilt project is going, in quite a while. Basically, as soon as I got my sewing machine back, I started having problems with it again. This is a big problem! Partly, because I’d like to get the pieces for…
