Pillowcases for Japan’s animals

Modern quilt inspired by an antique

I’m working on a new baby quilt. I designed the pattern to be a modern version of the pictorial kit quilts that were popular in the mid-20th Century. I have a few of the antique crib quilts in my collection. They feature one large image that is appliqued, embroidered or both. Some are on a […]

Making time for personal projects

I’ve been working on a T-shirt quilt for a client. He has several T-shirts from his days in the Navy, a union member and from several presidential elections. The sashing is an appropriate red, white and blue. I finished sewing it to the top and left sides of the blocks two days before meeting the […]
