On February 2nd, I posted the following story on my Facebook page: “As My Cowboy laid down to go to sleep last night, he leaned over and . . . instead of whispering ‘Good night — sweet dreams’ like usual, he says, ‘Don’t you fret, Mildred. I’ve got us a nice romantical Valentine’s date all […]

While I was living in Nebraska, I quilted a quilt for my friend, Michele Muska. Michele is a fan of Marcia Derse fabrics (and why not? — they’re fabulous!) and she had been collecting them for a while, and then she made this HUGE quilt out of them! I don’t know if Michele remembers, but […]

Ivy, my longarm machine, decided she needed a break, and went on a mission to self-destruct Tuesday afternoon.

One of the quilts I quilted before Christmas was a photo memory quilt for a lady named Pam. Pam made this quilt for her mother for Christmas, and she did a fabulous job. I love how she did the setting. All the pictures were black and white, with a sort of sepia tone to them, […]
