My boss saw watermelon placemats at a quilt shop on vacation and, thinking of me, got a copy of the pattern. The placemats are actually quite easy to make. I fused fleece to the […]

Illini baby quilt reveal

My sister- and brother-in-law welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world last week and since I think every baby should have at least one quilt, I made one just for him. My husband’s side of the family are big Illini fans, so I’ve made four Illini quilts since we met, that’s one a year. […]
