Review: ‘Let’s Get Creative with Quilt Labels’ offers inspiration, tutorials

Let’s face it. We love our quilts and hope those we give them to or inherit them after we’re gone, will cherish the quilts and always remember the occasion for which they were made. But we’ve all heard the horror stories of handmade quilts being sold at garage sales, or the tales of quilt appraisers […]

Sewing room disaster update

I’ve been working on cleaning out my sewing room. I’m not done but I’ve made progress. Now you can see the floor, not that the floor is pretty. Replacing the flooring throughout the first floor is next on my DIY home improvement list. I also can close the closet door now. So while I still […]

Dare to DIY: Deck the halls

I had a sewing marathon last weekend. I spent most of the time working on Christmas presents and my Christmas fabric exchange quilt. I still haven’t started the Christmas stockings for my family. So I’ll share photos of the paper-pieced tree skirt I made for the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild tree at the Festival of […]

Get inspired by the Geneseo Quilt Show

I love going to quilt shows, so when there is one practically in my backyard, I just have to go. So last weekend I dragged my husband from the Quad Cities to Geneseo, Illinois. Just kidding on the dragging part. I took him to five quilt shops on our honeymoon, so he knows fully what […]

Pinwheel quilted dog bed

Since we’ve moved to our new home, the dogs haven’t appreciated the wood floor in the bedroom so I made them a quilted dog bed so they’d have something soft to sleep on. I used a charm pack to create pinwheels, sewed a pillow case back and stuffed it with a waterproof dog bed liner […]

Christmas present reveal

Last Christmas I made three quilts for gifts. I believe I was suffering from a bout of temporary insanity when I decided that would be a good idea. I got about five hours of sleep in the two days before Christmas to finish the quilts. The first was a queen-sized quilt for my parents that […]

Saturdays with Stephanie July 22, 2017

OK, so I have done a pretty terrible job of blogging recently. We’re working on changing that by bringing on new team members here at Quilt Addicts Anonymous to handle the day-to-day tasks that have been created as this little blog turned into a full blown business. Then I can get back to the creative […]

April Block of the Month

Welcome back to the Quilt Addicts Anonymous Block of the Month! This month we’re getting started on the first pieced border. There are 20 blocks, to make, but they’re easy and just 6-inches finished so the piecing goes fast. As always, I’m making the quilt in two colorways just in case the pinks and purples […]
