Angela’s baptism quilt

One of the ministries of my church is to give each person that is baptized a quilt to commemorate the day. The group that makes them, the Baptismal Quilters, is one of the aspects that drew me to the church in the first place. That and a 10:45 a.m. service and a true acceptance of […]

Another UFO down!

One of the gals in my sit-n-sew was expecting her first child and trying to start and finish a chevron baby quilt before the little guy arrived. She was already in the third trimester. So the rest of the Next Generation Sit-n-Sew (we’re all in our 20s and 30s) decided we’d make one for her. […]

If you can handle those blocks, then this month will be a piece […]

August Block of the Month

The August block is another simple block. We’re just making a few half square triangles and then putting it together in rows of four with some squares. The complicated look that makes this quilt look difficult comes when we assemble all the different blocks at the end of the year. Also, if you’re running low […]

Baby quilt preview

I’ve got a nephew due to arrive in October so I started a quilt for him. His parents are big Illini fans so it will be made of blue, orange and white solids.  I can’t share too many photos just in case my sister-in-law looks at this post, but I can tell you that it’s […]

Baby quilt reveal

The gender neutral baby quilt I was working on has been delivered, and so has the baby. My friend gave birth to a healthy baby boy over the weekend. So now I can share detailed photos of it with all of you. The pattern is really simple to put together. You just need a charm […]
