Memorial Quilts from clothes
Mom passed away 15 months ago. She was a vibrant, active 75 year old woman, who fought a courageous battle with lung cancer. She hadn’t smoked in over 35 years. I’m going to make quilts from her clothes.
She was well loved by all of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
I’ve had all of her clothes [...]
Dodecahedron
It’s pronounced “doe-deck-a-HEE-drun” – according to my geek husband. It’s a 12-sided object. Here is half of it.
I knew there wasn’t going to be time or space for any quilting over the Christmas holidays, so I picked up a couple of quilting magazines from the bookstore to keep me happy. When I flipped through the [...]

Apple Core coolness!
Just a quick post to share ONE of the things I’ve been working on this week…
Apple cores. I attempted – ATTEMPTED, I say! – my first apple core quilt about 5 years ago. Everything went fine until I started sewing the rows together, by machine of course. When I realized I was going to have [...]

Pre-sashing isn’t always a good thing…..
I’m working on the charm square quilt for my niece, and am loving the way it looks. I am absolutely in love with the Needles & Wool flannel fabric line and must get more soon. However, all is not going well with this quilt.
I am a firm believer in pre-sashing. I can’t tell you [...]

Charm Square Quilt
Well, it’s been a while and I’ve been remiss in posting. Thank goodness for my partner-in-quilting, Peggi, for keeping things going! Just got back from a whirlwind visit to Florence, Italy to see my niece, Kylee, who is doing a Fashion rotation there for a quarter through Kent State University in Ohio. It was amazing, [...]
Balloon covers for Sierra Leone
Are these cool or what?!!?
These are NOT balls. They’re fabric covered balloons!
Here’s the story behind this project.
My sister-in-law, Janet, is returning to Sierra Leone next month. She went a couple of years ago with some of her fellow church members. This is her description of what they’re accomplishing, along with some pictures from her most [...]
Second-fastest quilt in the west
Remember this quilt top?
No? Probably because I made it over a year ago. I didn’t like it much then, and I still don’t like it now. So, I decided to make a few changes.
Well. That’s a bit more interesting.
Looks kind of pixelated, doesn’t it?
Check this out – one of the fabrics I used for [...]

A girl’s night in
Ingredients: iron, starch, paintbrush, templates, pre-cut fabrics…
and an NCIS marathon.
Sluuurrrrp.
It made for a very productive evening – I got 18 blocks basted and ready!
(Nearly) Wordless Wednesday
I think it’s going to be too big…
random thoughts and design wall
This will be a quick post – summer always seems to be a busy time, doesn’t it?
I can never have just one project to work on at a time. I have a tendency to get bored or frustrated with something, so I’ll put it down for a week or two and work on something else. [...]
