Bias Binding
My back has been out for two days. I’m taking advantage of being in bed. Bias binding and Chris Hemsworth.
Perfect Pinwheels
Perfect pinwheels make me happy. So did the day of sewing to get them made (finally).
Quilt Retreat Prep
I’m going to a quilt retreat with my guild friends this weekend. Two days of sewing. No interruptions. This weekend couldn’t come at a better time, either. I have been stuck in the house because of snow/threat of snow/sick kids for twelve days and, well, it’s been stressful. And loud. To maximize my sewing time,Continue reading “Quilt Retreat Prep”
Circle Quilt Three
This is the third in a series. I made the first in 2007, and the second some time between then an now. I’ve been appliqué ing the circles down for a few years and finished a few weeks ago. It’s not pieced but seeing this quilt on my design wall makes me one happy mama.

I finally made the plunge when I was pregnant with Q-Man, and knew it would be a while before I was at any market. I’veContinue reading “Indigo Quilt”

The bride absolutely adores Christmas, hence the holiday wedding, and so it seemed appropriate to make a Christmas quilt for their wedding present. Fast forward two years (yes, I still blame the delay on our move and renovation), and I’m finally starting. IContinue reading “Flying Geese Christmas Quilt, take 1”
See you in four years!
Last July, I asked several quilter friends if they would like to be part of a round robin. There are no rules, but we each have six months to complete our border and send it to the next quilter. We’re working alphabetically so we always know who gets the quilt next. Pretty easy. We haveContinue reading “See you in four years!”
Round Robin – part one
Last July, seven of my quilt friends and I gathered forces and decided to do a round robin. The rules are loose: 1. We have six months to complete our part and send it to the next person. 2. We are sending our quilts to each other in alphabetical order. Straightforward and we won’t loseContinue reading “Round Robin – part one”
