Hi all! This is a quick post to share a vintage1950’s era quilt I brought home from my parents’ house. The pattern has several names. The two I am most familiar with are Lone Star and Star of Bethlehem. My mom said it had been made as a raffle quilt and sold, then somehow it…

Today I want to share with you a sweet little quilt with a serendipitous mistake. I love making baby quilts. Who doesn’t? So, over the years, I’ve made them for many of my friends. This one I made back in 2008 for a little one named Annike. Unfortunately, I don’t have a good photo of…
I love vacations. I love getting to go new places, meet new people, and do new things. I love seeing family and friends that live too far to see regularly. But I also love coming home. My own bed, my own shower, my creatures all anxious to show me how much they missed us! And…

So I had two Star Wars quilts ready to baste, no money to send them out to a long-armer, and a whole day to myself. Now, I’m a bit older than all these young bloggers out there, and can’t get down on the floor to baste anymore. I’ve watched a lot of tutorials on…

The armadillo mug rug is done, but I have doubts that it would wash well, and since that is one of the requirements for the swap, I decided I would make another one to send along, too. Here it is: It didn’t take long at all, and it was fun to make. My next project,…

I’ve been fighting some kind of virus for the past couple of days. That, plus more fibromyalgia pain, has left me feeling like I haven’t gotten much accomplished this week. But earlier today I remembered that I needed to get a mug rug made for a swap with my online quilting guild. So, I did…
So, after spending way too much time on the computer, I think I fixed my subscription process. I’m not sure if those of you that thought you subscribed will need to go back and subscribe again, but you should get a subscription confirmation email with a link to confirm it and confirm that you are…
