‘True Love Quilting Club’ makes quilts sexy

I was not expecting such a steamy book when I picked up “The True Love Quilting Club” off of my grandmother’s shelf. But once I started the book, I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. While there is a decent amount of quilting in this book, it is primarily a love story, and […]

July Mini BOM 2016

It feels so strange to be nearly done with a Block of the Month quilt just two months in. But after you finish with the July block, you will have three-quarters of the block made for Cabin in the Clearing. Then we just make four more blocks, slap on some borders and we’re done next […]

February quilting goals

It’s that time of the month when I attempt to be an over-achiever and list out some lofty sewing goals to complete this month. Last month I started out strong, but then a nasty cold derailed my progress. Hopefully this month will see better results. Here’s my game plan for the month: Quilt, bind and […]

Loading up the frame

Last summer I spent a lot of time piecing and no time on the longarm, which means I have a backlog of tops in need of finishing in my sewing room closet. So I’ve resumed my monthly trips to Quilting By You in Bettendorf, Iowa, where I can rent time on a longarm machine and […]
