Judith DeRitter, or Ms. D as we called her, was the house mother for my sorority when I was in college. I loved Ms. D and visited with her daily. I always enjoyed our chats and her endless wisdom. I think she passed away a few years ago and I wish I had a chanceContinue reading “Miss D”

Tree
I gave birth to Q Man 6 weeks before my friend gave birth to her daughter, Miss A. Of course, I made a quilt for Miss A. Well, technically I’m still making it. I gave it to my friend at her shower. In February.  I took the unfinished top back from my friend the other dayContinue reading “Tree”
Baby Quilt
It must be rough to be the second child. Little Mister’s baby quilt was completely finished for his big arrival. Q man’s quilt has been pieced. The back has been pieced. And I’ve not gotten any further. It’s not that I don’t want it finished. I do. But even finding time just to baste theContinue reading “Baby Quilt”
Beautiful words
Last fall a lovely woman asked me to make a quilt for her daughter for Christmas. Her daughter had recently gone off to college and she wanted to make her high school t shirts into a quilt. I was happy to make it for her, and I love making t shirt quilts. She picked upContinue reading “Beautiful words”
25 hours in a Day
I need more time in my days. I’m pretty darn efficient, and focus on the task at hand, but I always have more I wish I could have accomplished by the end of the day. I am grateful that little mister still naps for two to three hours a day and goes to school twoContinue reading “25 hours in a Day”
Out with the old
A dear friend was saddened that some quilt photos were missing from my blog. They are older quilts that haven’t quite made it onto my blog – that requires time. I’ve been wanting to add them for eons, but just haven’t found (er, made) the time. So today, while the tot is sleeping, the dogContinue reading “Out with the old”
Two for the Road
Yeah, yeah. Not talking about alcohol, but the two quilts I made for Mrs. T. Over the years she kept all her sons’ soccer and basketball jerseys. I’ve assembled them into quilts for them for Christmas. I finished sewing borders on the quilts today. You can barely see it, but in the corners of theContinue reading “Two for the Road”
I fall for fall
Fall. The perfect season. Cool, crisp mornings. Breezy afternoons. You can smell it in the air. Leaves are starting to change. And I cannot wait to wear my new fall goodies! I love fall afternoons. The weather is perfect to take little mister outside to play or bind a quilt. Just in time to ringContinue reading “I fall for fall”
Fall
Okay, so it’s not autumn but I am working on a fall themed quilt so I yearn for the crisp mornings and changing leaves. K was married in the fall, and it’s her favorite season, so we have a themed autograph quilt. What a great idea in lieu of a signing book! We might tweekContinue reading “Fall”
T-shirt Quilts
We woke up to snow this morning. A light dusting. Boy, was I surprised! I thought my eyes hadn’t adjusted to the very early morning light. It’s a bright, sunny day here in Atlanta. A nice breeze is blowing and it’s very cold here today. We ran a few errands because we had to, but prettyContinue reading “T-shirt Quilts”
