Back today to show you another finish, and this is a biggie! I started this quilt sometime around 2008, and got the top finished pretty quickly, because it’s just scrap squares. The idea came from this book, “Bed Warmers”, by Lynda Milligan and Nancy Smith (from 1999). The cover quilt, called “Country Traditions”, was my […]

Please forgive the fact that I have the quilt upside down in all my photos! (Photography has never been my strong […]

I put out the first call for blocks in May of 2020, and posted the tutorial HERE in June of 2020 to make it easier to find. I started setting them together […]

The gal in charge said they could use around 15 quilts, but I decided I’d make 20, just in case. First, I gathered up all the quilts I already had […]

It takes me awhile sometimes, especially if the quilt doesn’t have a deadline — haha! A couple years ago, I sold the quilt. However, my daughter’s personal assistant, […]

She didn’t start quilting in earnest until 2001, but it’s as if she’s been quilting with me all along. I used to quilt with our grandmother, and Katy took up quilting a few months after […]
