Blanket Statements: Not your grandmother’s quilt show

Thread stand makeover

Of the luxuries I’ve missed most about having a dedicated sewing space, a thread stand is definitely in my top five. Not only do I love the look of having my thread on display, it is a lot easier to find what you’re looking for when it is neatly displayed on the wall instead of […]

Matchy-matchy: Adorable outfits for little girls and their dolls

I made a king-sized quilt in week last week. Yes, seriously, 108″ inches square, start to finish in one week. The details of the project are still a secret, so that’s all I can say for now. When you make quilting your day job, as much fun as quilting is, it is work. After completing […]

Dining room tables are for quilting, not eating

I had one of those, “I think I might have a problem moments.” I’m not talking about a quilt construction problem, I’m talking about a quilt addiction problem. My schedule hasn’t had room for a lot of sewing time recently, so my snowball quilt pieces have been sitting on the dining room table since my […]

Quilt show in the bunk room

One’s choice of bedding at quilt retreat is a very important choice. I’m sure there are posh quilt retreats where everyone has their own room in hotel-like fashion. But at my Guild’s retreat, we all share bunk rooms and the quilts that adorn them are on display for everyone to see. It is like a mini […]

After quilt retreat: New York Beauty
