Happy (belated) Halloween!

Halloween with a child, means I get to go nuts creating a handmade costume. This is probably the last year I get to pick what the costume is, so I went with a scarecrow. I didn’t really see a pattern I liked so I decided to make one myself. I’m not that skilled in pattern […]

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 […]

Getting ready for my first fair

I haven’t blogged much recently because I’ve been very busy getting ready for a craft fair this weekend. I’ve never been in a fair before, so I was afraid I wouldn’t have enough items to fill my six-foot folding table, but as I arranged them all last night, I realized my problem is that I’m […]

Iron

So … I set my iron on fire

Today we say goodbye to the iron which has served long and faithfully for more than a decade. A high school graduation gift from my aunt, the quilter, she must have known the iron would one day be needed for far more than the mundane task of ironing dress shirts I left in the dryer […]

About a month ago I watched a program on Iowa Public Television about the Quilts of Valor Under Our Wings program. The program connects experienced quilters with men and women who have never sewed before to make a quilt for a veteran. I don’t come from a military family, but I just cried throughout the […]
