Friday Scraps – a couple days late

I realized this morning that I forgot to share my Friday Scraps yesterday. And what a week this has been. A couple years ago I thought I was ready to start looking for a house to buy. I counciled with my pastor and was encouraged to save some more money. I wasn’t as ready asContinue reading “Friday Scraps – a couple days late”

Friday Scraps

So I’m standing there at the ironing board pressing some freshly pieced poppy fabric blocks  when I get a notification on my phone, it’s a forward email from my mom of new blog post she found interesting. She sends these to me from time to time and it’s great to see how different quilters tick.Continue reading “Friday Scraps”

And It’s Back to Work for the Quilter

Vacation is over…at least for the next three days. It was nice while it lasted, got several quilts done, one still needs to be bound and 2 are only cut out…I shall see if I can fit them in along the way. (Photos to come) But for the next couple days I need to getContinue reading “And It’s Back to Work for the Quilter”

Garments to Quilts

A couple months ago I met a gentleman and his daughter at a local fabric shop. They had 3 large black bags full of clothes that had belonged to the wife and mother that had recently passed. They wanted 3 quilts, one for each of them and a brother. I finished them up last night.Continue reading “Garments to Quilts”

Recently it came to me that I should see if there was a phone app for this blog thing…take a couple pictures, pull together some words and post. MightContinue reading “I have to do it again…”

Memory Quilts

This last month I created several memory quilts for a few customers. From T-shirt quilts to baby clothes to the clothes from a lost loved one, each one has it’s place. A few years ago I was commissioned by my cousin to make a quilt for her daughter with the T-shirts she collected throughout gradeContinue reading “Memory Quilts”

A VERY Busy Week

It’s been a busy week… First I was looking online for some fall crafts that I could do real quick for some table decorations for a Harvest Festival at my church. I came across this super cute yet simple felt leaf garland. It was a must do, so I did it. For now…it graces ourContinue reading “A VERY Busy Week”

My Most Recent Acquisition

This is my machine. I got it about 15-17 years ago. A Bernina and she has treated me very well. A couple weeks ago, she got sick and it was about that time that I began to think of giving her a much needed retirement. Not putting her away for ever, but giving her someContinue reading “My Most Recent Acquisition”

New quilting design

This is the current quilt on the machine. I finished one before church this evening. When I got back home I had a bit of time and decided to take that one off (photos to come once it is bound) and put the next one on. Then because it was only 10:00…why not quilt forContinue reading “New quilting design”
