Wedding Quilt
This week I wanted to feature another one of the quilts in my collection. This lap quilt was a wedding gift from my cousin Susan. It’s super soft and warm – along with being beautifully made. (Susan, you can feel free to make me a quilt any time.) And it matches the decore in my…

There are several things I love about this time of year. Leather & Furs I’m not really a big fan of cold weather (or hot weather for that matter) but one of my favorite things about this time of year is that when it gets cold outside, I get to add some things into my…
Read MoreGrama’s Quilt
Even though my first “official” quilt was the one that I made for my sister’s wedding gift, I did have another project before then. I made 9 quilt photo quilt blocks a wall hanging. The blocks each contained family photos of my grama and her family. After I finished the blocks, my mom and uncle…

Read More(Not) Purdue Quilt Update
As you know from my previous post, I’m working on a quilt for my sister Samantha. I’m super excited about how the quilt is coming along, and I’m even starting to like the colors. Not that I don’t like black and gold – I am a Purdue Alum myself. Boiler Up! I just wasn’t sure…
Read MoreSassy Charm Quilt
I finally got the Sassy Charm Quilt completed! It’s possibly a miracle with everything that has been going on lately. I did get it quilted over a week ago, but I just didn’t have the time to bind it. I’ll blame my little sister and her wedding for that. This quilt’s finished size is about…
