Combing my love of dogs and quilting

I found this super cute applique pattern at Nancy’s Notions and I have to have it. I’m going to make it in a summer scene so I’ll be able to make the dog look like Einstein, one of our three dogs. I’ve also been asked to make a wall hanging for a humane society fundraiser […]

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 […]

I’m going through quilt retreat withdrawal

I spent last Thursday through Sunday at quilt retreat and now I miss it. I look forward to the semi-annual retreat for months. It’s a great opportunity to make a lot of progress on quilts. I finished 10 blocks on my New York Beauty Christmas quilt, finished piecing the top for the class sample for my […]

Goodies from Washington, D.C.

Since I’ve taken up quilting, I’ve made a habit of going to quilt shops while on vacation to take home fat quarters and thimbles as souvenirs. Eventually I’d like to make a quilt out of all the fabrics I collect on my travels. On my trip to Washington, D.C., for my cousin’s wedding last weekend, […]
