Quilt withdrawal to be solved by Carol Doak
I haven’t quilted in at least a week because my husband and I have been busy packing and moving into our first home. I realized last night that quilting must have a calming effect on me and I should make time to do a little each night, because I’ve been super stressed over the past […]

For years I wanted to combine the maple leaf and log cabin blocks and I had a basket full of fat quarters to do it with. But it took a back seat to other projects until I took at log cabin class by Marti Michell when my guild, the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild, brought her […]
Soft books make great baby gifts
I have managed to complete one sewing project since I’ve had Angela, a soft book for my nephew’s first birthday. He is absolutely in love with Mickey Mouse, so when I saw a soft book panel featuring the Mickey characters, I knew I had to make him one for his birthday. At one-year-old he wants […]
