So exciting! I have several finishes that I haven’t written about. And more progress on UFOs! This is the hexie quilt I’ve been working on since last March. It’s so fun to look at with all the details in the in the center of the flowers. I still have enough left over flowers to make…

I finished this small quilt this week. It started out as a quilt along with Amy Gibson of stitcherydickorydock.com. I made eleven of the 12 blocks, but in the end did not like the final setting, so the blocks sat in a box on the shelf for a few years. I went back to her…

This “Dog Gone Cute” baby quilt is another quilt I made this past summer and never posted about! The pattern is from Lorna of SewFreshQuilts. I made this for my new grandson, and didn’t get it finished until after he was here! I had to take the top with me to my daughter’s house and…

Yep, like many of you, I am sure, I want to use this year to finish up some UFOs that have been sitting in my sewing room for far too long. I have one that is older than two of my children! It’s an Ohio Star civil war reproduction that I started when my second…

You would think that not being able to go out and about would make it much easier to find time to sew. And, yes, I think there is some truth in that, but I think I have actually used more of my extra time on puzzles and cross-stitch. Oh, and doing some digital scrapbooking to…

I first saw this Civil War reproduction quilt in a quilt store in Garland, Texas. (That shop doesn’t exist anymore, unfortunately.) I was so taken with the sample that I bought the pattern and started on it right away. In fact, I think this is where my love of reproduction fabrics started. The pattern, Shiloh,…

Remember the postage stamp quilt I’ve been working on forever? It is done! Pieced and quilted by little old me! I believe all quilts have a story to tell. Some are short and sweet, and some are a bit longer. Bear with me, this one is one of the latter! Before quilting:   After quilting:…
