Things to do before Quilt Retreat

1. Make two pots of the De Pasquale family pasta sauce recipe for lasagna on Friday night. 2. Decide which projects to bring with, (signature quilt, T-shirt quilt, quilted messenger bag, a quilt I’m making as a gift and an airplane baby quilt are all possible contenders). 3.

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 […]

On the border

I finished piecing the top of my sister’s signature quilt from her wedding. I think it needs a border. I’ve got an idea about what I want to do, but would welcome suggestions. I have a lot of the white fabric left, a little of the light pink and not much of the dark pink.

Good thing I checked my list twice

I was in the process of checking my list twice last weekend when I realized I forgot to get a gift for my grandmother for the SECOND year in a row. I’m a bad grandchild. She’s very difficult to shop for. My mom once found a gift she’d gotten her stowed away in a closet […]
