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”
Doing the things
Even during the holiday insanity I somehow managed to find time to quilt. I am teaching a new class at the shop this quarter. Quilting 102. Basically the class will teach beginning quilters how to sew triangles and get perfect points, flying geese and a few new quilting techniques. I hope the class is aContinue reading “Doing the things”
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Thanksgiving is over and Christmas will be here soon. I finished this commissioned piece. I’m really proud of it and think it turned out really well! I have the body of B’s two quilts assembled. Here’s a close up of one. I am hoping to get borders on this week. Yeah! Oh, what a reliefContinue reading “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”
I like this cup
Last week was tough. S kept waking up at night and we couldn’t figure out what was going on with him. He’s still up a bit more than I’d like, but I think we are nearing the end of that misery. Boo Boo came over on Saturday to give us some much needed relief. HusbandContinue reading “I like this cup”
