Quilt theft and identification
There was talk on one of the quilt forums we belong to of a woman who made a custom-designed quilt for someone, and that someone (also a quilter) sold the quilt on Etsy as her own design and construction. First off, shame on that “someone” for being nothing more than a low-life thief. The quiltmaker [...]
9196 patches
Last week I mentioned a quilt I’d made that set my personal record for the most pieces.
It’s called Shoreline Log Cabin, and is from Judy Martin’s “Log Cabin Quilt Book” which is full of absolutely gorgeous quilts. The book has directions for 15 quilts, and 6 of them are on my “I-Must-Make-This-Quilt-Before-I-Die” List.
I enlarged the [...]
Paducah Pineapple
Yay! It’s finished! My “souvenir” quilt from my trip to Paducah is finally complete! (Well, at least the top is pieced… quilting it will be another story!)
I bought the kit for this quilt while in Paducah for the quilt show last April. The paper-pieced pattern is from Laundry Basket Quilts and they’re calling it Hawaiian [...]
Zigzag finished
This quilt really had me waffling for a while. When I was done piecing it, I loved it. Then I quilted it. My piecing skills are pretty decent, but my quilting skills are another story. I made many mistakes and was very frustrated with myself, but I was determined to finish it. I did my [...]
Sackboy love
My ten year old son, Preston, loves a PlayStation game called Little Big Planet, which is an awesome game. You play the game with an avatar: the Sackboy.
Sackboy is highly customizable – for instance, you can dress him up in various costumes, give him facial hair, change his fabric (skin) and even turn him into [...]
A Spoonflower Christmas
My favorite part of Christmas is giving. I love, love, love finding just the perfect gift for someone and watching their joy and astonishment when they open it. I think I did great this year, finding the perfect gift for Cindi. I got her some Spoonflower fabric and turned her into a fabric designer!<br /><br [...]
A lousy quilter but a great, er, binding-er.
This quilt is my entry for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival.
After much struggling, my Zig Zag top is quilted. I say “struggling” because I’m a lousy quilter. I admit it. I’ve made lots of quilts – quilt TOPS, that is. I’ve gotten very good at piecing! When I first started quilting, I sent my finished tops [...]
Tulip Chain (maybe)
Looking for some help with this top. I’ve tentatively named it “Tulip Chain”. It’s actually a cross and crown block combined with an Irish chain, but they look more like tulips to me.
First of all, can I get a little love? My design wall is in the hallway across from the bathroom, so by the [...]

Peggi’s Gallery
I’ve added a new page – a gallery! If you click “Peggi’s Quilt Gallery” in either the header or the sidebar, it will take you to my gallery page, which has the titles of each quilt (at the bottom of the picture) and a link to the post about that quilt.

Quilts and dust bunnies
I’m sitting here having a dinner of tomato soup, crackers and a raspberry martini wondering how in the world to get my friend and amazing massage therapist, Jefferson, to hang up the quilt I made him 2 years ago. I took a class with Marilyn Belford through Quilt University – Realistic Fabric Portraits. I chose [...]
