I know, I know, it’s not binding time…I haven’t even shown you all the blocks yet! Well, we just finished an exciting final week of filming (yes, you’ll get a peek at my “you must be due any day” 6 month baby bump), and after having sewn several BOM quilts over the course of shooting, […]
A New Quilt Pattern!
Ok, real quick, I really must address the recent technical troubles that have been brought to my attention….I received a comment from a sweet, concerned reader this morning actually, alerting me that they are having trouble viewing my blog- that all posts after April 27th are missing! Eek!!! Wait a minute. I haven’t posted since […]
The Most Important Quilt I’ve Ever Made
What an amazing reminder I had this week about the undeniable link between quilts, and our life’s journey. Truly, from the secret quilt codes of the Underground Railroad, to the proud, patriotic Victory quilts of the 1940s, they not only mark our nation’s history, but they also mark milestones and turning points in our everyday […]
Some Quilts Just Can’t Catch A Break
Poor little guy. This quilt has been through such sad existance, I PRAY that he gets sold at the Holiday Handmade Market next month, and given to some adorable happy baby so that his little soul can be restored. He was born on a freezing, snowy night last winter, as the fire crackled and I […]
Stitched Together
What’s more meaningful than making a baby quilt for a special mom-to-be friend? Why making it WITH a special mom-to-be friend, of course! I was so excited when my dear friend Toni, who’s not sewn since Jr. High home ec, asked me if we could make a quilt together for her soon-to-come baby girl. I […]

Would have loved to have Nora in the pics of course, snuggling with her new BFF, but she was at preschool ALL DAY- yeah, like til 3pm. I […]
Quilter’s Block- Love My Neighbors!
What an exhausting amazing weekend! I hosted our neighborhood yard sale yesterday (awesome success) and was tickled to find out that 2 gals on my street are die hard quilters! Who knew? One sold me this aaaaadorable antique 1930s log cabin for super cheap. I just love the sweet patchwork and subtle stripe pattern! Char […]
One Project Down…6 Million to Go
All I can say is I’m so relieved to be finished with this quilt so I can get back to life. Ha! Seriously though, I loved making it, but wow, this one threatened to take me to the brink of sanity and back. I feel like it’s been taking over my sewing area for decades. […]
