I was at a retreat all this past weekend, and as I was sewing away, my friend Linda asked me, “Did you post this month’s block report?” Completely shocked, I had to answer NO! I had not even realized it was the end of the month, I’ve been so busy traveling and doing other things! […]

I made 20 blocks for this quilt, which is an alternate version of the Happily Ever After quilt from my book, “A Simple Life: Quilts Inspired by the ’50s”. And I made 180 […]

I’ve mostly been at the longarm or pattern writing. That doesn’t leave much piecing time. I hope to do much better than […]

All the blocks I got done were for Quilt Market samples, and two of those quilts I didn’t even get pictures of, I was in such a hurry to ship them off. So my monthly […]

My month was spent tending to my goats and their babies, especially little Ranger, after he lost his momma and his twin sister: And standing at the longarm — I quilted more quilts this month than I have so far all year!

I spent the first whole week in California with my daughters, on vacation for the most part, and it always takes me a while to recover from a vacation — haha! If it weren’t for my guild’s retreat this month, I’m not sure I’d have gotten any sewing […]
