Friday Scraps – Catch up

I think I should call these “Weekend” Scraps. As they aren’t always being written on Friday. But Friday Scraps sounds better…And I have to play catch up for the past 2 weeks. So it will be just the highlights. In the midst of my feathers and swirls and pebbles, a critical part of the stitchContinue reading “Friday Scraps – Catch up”

Quick Tip – Quilt Binding, Sewing those ends together

How many of us struggle with connecting the ends of our binding in a smooth and clean way? Probably more than would like to admit. Me personally, I hate binding and hand binding especially. Maybe hate is too strong of a word, but it is my least favorite part about making a quilt. In fact,Continue reading “Quick Tip – Quilt Binding, Sewing those ends together”

One of the First and Regular Quilting Customers

In thinking about my beginnings, my thoughts go back to my first customers. Or one of my first. We started working together in March of 2011. She had a quilter back east where her sister lived that she would send her quilt tops to and was willing to try someone local. I can’t remember howContinue reading “One of the First and Regular Quilting Customers”

Quilting Brand

A friend of mine was over the other day and I was showing her the studio (garage) and my portfolio. As she was looking through my books she asked if I had a signature or image that I quilt into all of the pieces I do. I don’t…or I should say I didn’t. This hasContinue reading “Quilting Brand”

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”

Flower Garden

I finished quilting this quilt for a customer this week. It was a dream to quilt. It was a relief for the quilting machine to work very well after the difficulty I had on the last quilt. I couldn’t just do an all over quilting pattern for this one. 🙂 I am thankful, all overContinue reading “Flower Garden”

Lately

So…what have I been doing? While I neglected this site…it is for a reason…I have been busy. I put together another baby quilt – with an animal alphabet fabric. 🙂 All I have to do is bind and label before it is delivered. I got 2 new clients, 1 for a T-shirt quilt I haveContinue reading “Lately”
