It’s growing!

I started a new quilt a little less than three weeks ago when I took a class from Marti Michell. Normally it takes me FOREVER to make quilts. Usually because I have Quilters ADD and can’t focus on one project long enough to make any real progress. The Superman quilt I decided to make on […]

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 […]

August Block of the Month

This month we’re making quarter square triangles, also known as hour glass units, from squares. It’s a new block for this quilt, but the technique is very similar to making the double pinwheels from squares, which we did in May and July. If you can handle those blocks, then this month will be a piece […]

Building a soft book library

I don’t know how it happened, but my little quilter turned one last Friday. It is amazing to look back and see how much she has developed over the past year, finding her voice, learning to feed herself, crawling, standing and developing a clear list of likes and dislikes. One of her likes are books. She […]

Sewing room to nursery: Carpet the dogs can poop on, but the baby can’t

We finally ordered carpet for the nursery this week. I’ve wanted new carpet for this room every since we moved into the house. Anything would be better than the dog poop brown shag that is in there now. Funny how it takes a major life event to get it done. My husband and I selected […]

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 […]

I’m going through sewing machine withdrawal

I sewed one too many sweater mittens this winter. Last Thursday my sewing machine let me know it had ingested one too many lint particles from the felted sweaters and started making a noise that scared me enough to stop sewing right then and there and call the store I purchased it from. Thankfully the […]
