A peak at the design wall

I had a great time at quilt retreat. I did nothing but sew and chat with other quilters for three days, and while my husband doesn’t understand why that was so fun, I’ll definitely be going back for the fall retreat. On Friday afternoon I finished the quilt top for my signature quilt, layered and […]

Hand quilted beauties at an Amish Quilt Auction

For years my family has been going to the semi-annual Amish Quilt Auction in Bonduel, Wisconsin. But since the small farming town is a six hour drive from where I live, I’ve never been able to organize a trip to coincide with the event. That is until this fall’s auction. It is pretty safe to […]

The dog matches my scrap quilt

I’ve been working on a scrap quilt made in creams and browns. As I finished the last of the 25 squares last night, my dog, Lady, thought she’d test it out. I had to laugh as her buff/rust coloring made her almost blend in with the quilt. At least I won’t have to worry about […]

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 […]
