Works in Progress
I have to admit to being a complete slacker and getting almost no sewing accomplished since my last WiP post. I did finish up my mini quilt for the 1st Project Quilting challenge of the season. You can vote for your favorites until 8:00pm CST on Friday, January 16th, 2015. The only other thing that…

I’m so excited to finally get a chance to participate in Project Quilting. This is it’s 6th season, but I just discovered it at the end of last season, so I didn’t get a chance to participate. The idea behind project quilting is to complete a new quilting project each week. The first project theme…

Read MoreWinter Mini Quilt
I really thought I was done making Christmas projects, but, last week I ran across the Dresden Forest Mini Quilt by Leigh Laurel Studios. It inspired me to make my own version of a forest for our wall, and knew I had to make my own version. I love that it will also make a…
Read MoreRabbit Medallion Quilt – 3rd Border
It has taken me forever to get around to making the 3rd border on my rabbit medallion quilt. Not that the blocks for this border were terribly difficult – they were just churn dash blocks. But, in my defense, I did have to make 36 of them, and I was getting rather tired of making…
