On the border

I finished piecing the top of my sister’s signature quilt from her wedding. I think it needs a border. I’ve got an idea about what I want to do, but would welcome suggestions. I have a lot of the white fabric left, a little of the light pink and not much of the dark pink.

Virtual shop hop: Quiltology in Chicago

Update: Sadly this quilt shop has closed, although to can still shop its online selection.  I went to Chicago last week on business and just couldn’t leave the city without checking out Quiltology, the urban quilt space. Besides having a need to check out local quilt shops whenever I go out of town, I was […]

A knitting affair

I’ve been having an affair with knitting. It’s all started when I got a copy of “All Wound Up: The Yarn Harlot Writes for a Spin,” by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. The book is a collection of essays about knitting, mothering, living in an old house with two closets and a big stash (knitters have stashes too) […]
