An essay on neglected quilts and houses

Everyone has heard a tale or two about a quilt that was found at a garage sale. The owners just didn’t appreciate the quilt or know how to properly care for it. So the quilt spent a few decades neglected in the attic or being used to keep the garage floor clean when it was […]

February quilting goals

It’s that time of the month when I attempt to be an over-achiever and list out some lofty sewing goals to complete this month. Last month I started out strong, but then a nasty cold derailed my progress. Hopefully this month will see better results. Here’s my game plan for the month: Quilt, bind and […]
