I have been making a few quilts lately. This one was a gift.....for a friend who loves all things bright colors! It made me branch out a bit more than I normally do with colors....but I think I need to do that more often because although the fabrics are not usually something I would put together I do I love how bright, cheery and fun it looks! I just did a simple strip quilt with a piece of main fabric down one-third of it. And I do love strip quilts...because they are fast! I did the ... View the Post

Round Robin Quilt Block
Today I am participating with Becky in her Around the Block Quilt Series, where so many fantastic quilting people are making their favorite quilt blocks and sharing them. And it really was an honor when she asked me to participate. I still consider myself a new quilter. So when she asked that we make our favorite block, I decided that because I am so new to quilting that whatever block I am working on is on is usually my favorite! I think that is the way it will be for awhile.....until I ... View the Post

Scrumptious Quilt
Do you ever feel like you are always a month behind? I so naively thought that as my kids grew up that life would slow down and I could get caught-up on projects. Um....apparently not. I feel like life is busier than ever right now. And with us being in the "middle ground" of a huge move (that we get to do all over in a couple of weeks) I am feeling a bit like a chicken with my head cut off. And I fear that I am only at the beginnings of teenage "busyness." (All you teenage moms are ... View the Post
SNAP! (And a surprise…for one of you)
Often Elizabeth and I feel so fortunate for the opportunities that we are lucky enough to enjoy...and this is one of those times. For the past several years we've attended, volunteered, and taught at the SNAP conference...and it's become an annual event for us. We love it. There is so much positive energy and the attendees are always so much fun we can't help but leave reenergized and happy to have been a part of it. So when we were asked about organizing a sewing room for SNAP we jumped at ... View the Post
Coral, Gray and Mustard Quilt
I have talked about this before but I really am trying to use up fabric that I currently have as well as break into the scrap pile more often than buying new fabric. And it's been good for me (and the budget!). Before I would buy fabric that I "loved" and then look at it 3-4 months later and think "hmmm...I am not sure why I bought that." And then it ended up sitting in piles and piles. But no more! My fabric stash is down to 2 bins (that is a huge accomplishment!) and the eventual goal is ... View the Post
