A long, long time ago, in a neighborhood far, far away I was given a bunch of fabric sample books by an interior decorator who was cleaning out her garage. I was thrilled, she was thrilled, and everyone went home happy. I learned all about adhesives, and trying to remove them from fabric samples. Some … Continue reading A Day on the Water

I finished this quilt the last week in December, but I wanted to wait to wash the quilting marks out before posting. Laundry wasn't a top priority over the holiday, so I've had a bit of catching up to do before getting to the quilt. It was worth the wait. I blogged about this project … Continue reading Shattered Crystal – Modern Improv Quilting

I'm joining Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl again this year for her 2018 planning party. This year I won't be planning to finish off all of my UFO's. That is clearly not my style. So much has changed for me in 2017. I got a longarm quilting machine and started a business. This year I'll … Continue reading 2018 – Plans and Dreams
I went back to look at my post for the beginning of the year, to see how far I had come with my plans. I had to laugh. I titled my post "2107 - year of the UFO". Whoops. I guess if I didn't make it 2017 it doesn't count, right? Of the 12 projects … Continue reading 2017 In Review
I can hardly believe it, but I have finished the flamingo quilt I started for my mom last December. I've blogged about it a few times. I started this quilt shortly after my mom was diagnosed with cancer last winter. It was meant to keep her cozy during chemotherapy and radiation treatments. I was very … Continue reading Finished Flamingos, Finally!
