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 […]

SAQA exhibit celebrates Marie Webster

Marie Webster. Never heard that name before? Well quilters today owe a lot to her. In 1909, she broke with traditional Victorian quilt patterns and created her first applique quilt that was inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement. Her designs, featuring a center medallion typically of flowers, and strong borders caught the eye of […]

September BOM 2016 tutorial

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day! It doesn’t feel like it here in the Midwest where I am but fall will be here soon and that means it is quilting time again. This month’s Block of the Month pattern is a small one. Finishing at just three inches square, I opted to use […]

Blue ribbon quilts from the fair

I went to the Mississippi Valley Fair this week and spent some time looking at the quilts entered for judging. There were some beautiful quilts and for the first time, I felt like my skills are pretty comparable with some of the ones on display. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I’m good […]

A sneak peak at ‘The Wedding Quilt’

Judging by the expressions of jealousy and shared excited on my Facebook profile when I announced that I got my hands on an advance copy of Jennifer Chiaverini’s new book “The Wedding Quilt” I’m guessing you all are going to be pretty interested to read my review of the book.

Sewing room

Sewing room disaster

A few weeks ago I wrote that my sewing room was so messy I was too embarrassed to show you all a picture. Well, then I threw some more junk in it, decided I have no shame when it comes to quilting and took this photo. I know, it’s bad. You can see a mess of laundry […]

Instagram, the great motivator

http://instagram.com/p/ax8csQv4S2/ I started using Instagram with some frequency about the same time I started my maple leaf log cabin quilt. I took a class from Marti Michell when she came to my guild, and used her log cabin construction technique to  combine two blocks I’ve been itching to make a quilt with for years. I […]

Labor, sharp objects and my husband

Occasionally I go to a knitting night at my local yarn shop called the Knaughty Knitters. It’s a fun bunch. There’s usually wine and everyone is always willing to make sure I haven’t screwed something up too badly. The last time I was there, hugely pregnant finishing a baby sweater, I asked if they thought […]

Happy (belated) Halloween!

Halloween with a child, means I get to go nuts creating a handmade costume. This is probably the last year I get to pick what the costume is, so I went with a scarecrow. I didn’t really see a pattern I liked so I decided to make one myself. I’m not that skilled in pattern […]
