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 […]

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 […]

Happy New Year … a little late

Hello all. I took a break from the shop and quilting in general in January because my husband and I started remodeling our kitchen. Right now we’re refinishing the cabinets which is a long, messy job, but the new stain is giving the almost 60-year-old built in cabinets new life. As we near the end […]

My dream sewing room…

As I’ve been cleaning out my sewing room, I’ve been thinking about what my dream sewing room might look like. Sometime in the next couple of years I’ll get to design a sewing room from scratch when we finish the basement, so this is something I can get excited about. Since I’m a planner, I’ve […]
