Virtual shop hop: Glad Creations, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn.
The first time I saw a quilt was when my freshman year roommate was stitching the binding on hers by hand one of the first nights we spent in the all girls dorm at Augustana College. I don’t remember much about the quilt except that it was bright, modern and I couldn’t believe that someone my […]
Teaching my mom to be a quilt addict
My mom is learning to quilt. If you ask her, she’ll say she’s learning how to make table runners and she doesn’t want to make large quilts. But I just think she hasn’t been fully indoctrinated yet. She has a very demanding job and is looking for something fun to do to relax. So I’ve […]

Finished in the nick of time
I know, Christmas was almost a week ago, but life hasn’t slowed down yet. My quilted gifts were very well received and nobody had any idea that two of them were started less than a week before Christmas. Most summer days my grandpa can be found on a fishing boat with a pole in his […]
Happy New Year … a little late
Hello all. I took a break from the shop and quilting in general in January because my husband and I started remodeling our kitchen. Right now we’re refinishing the cabinets which is a long, messy job, but the new stain is giving the almost 60-year-old built in cabinets new life. As we near the end […]
