Couches and Chairs
As I mentioned…re-upholstery is a new thing for Quilt’m. My cousin called a week ago and asked if I had ever done any re-upholstery. No I haven’t…”well there is a first time for everything” was the reply. So I have a couch and chair in my house. As you can see…it needs to be recovered.Continue reading “Couches and Chairs”

Clothes to Quilts
Many quilts that I have done for clients begin their life as clothes. They cloth children and adults, get put through storage, then come to be in plastic tubs to cut apart and begin the next stage of their life as a quilt. The most recent set was for a customer with 2 girls. SheContinue reading “Clothes to Quilts”

My Sister is a Piecer
I say she is a piecer, because she doesn’t quilt, she just pieces the top and puts it in a pile for me to quilt. Well, I must be fair, she quilted the first one and then decided that quilting isn’t for her…but piecing is. 🙂 It’s alright. I can practice on her quilts. ThisContinue reading “My Sister is a Piecer”
