Completing UFOs at quilt get-a-way
I attended a quilt get-a-way last weekend sponsored by my guild and was incredibly productive. The get-a-way is different than a retreat because it is in town, and you go home at the end of the night. But you can sew from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday through Monday if your heart so desires. […]
6 hour crib quilt
My co-worker is expecting her first child. I don’t make a quilt for every baby shower I go to, but I knew she’d appreciate it and wanted to do something special for her and her little girl. I started the recon early to figure out what she was planning for her nursery. I lucked out […]

One of the fabric companies needs to come out with a line of solids that features 50 shades of gray to go with “Nikolai’s Noel,” by Alicia Hunter Pace. While it is missing the S&M of the popular trilogy, it is not often you find a black lace bustier in a quilting novel. And the steamy […]

I’m celebrating my birthday with quilting
Tomorrow is my birthday. Most people have a party or a couple drinks, and while I will probably do the latter in the evening, I’m going to spend most of my day in a quilting class. One of my local quilt shops is holding a free motion quilting class. I’m a quilt in the ditch […]
Raffle quilt for K9 Kindness Rescue
I love my dogs. I have three of my own and a foster dog from K9 Kindness Rescue, Inc. A few months ago K9 Kindness took in Rosie, a heartworm positive dog that was pregnant. Her delivery was very difficult and costly because of the heartworm, but because of K9 Kindness, Rosie and her pups […]
