A couple years ago, my cousins asked me if I would help them out by finishing some quilt tops that my Great-Aunt Jo had started before she passed away. I was honored to do it. Isn’t this a lovely stack of finished quilts? First up was a set of embroidered blocks that Aunt Jo had […]

There are two versions, and I’m calling them the Girl version and the Boy version, altho they’re completely interchangeable. And you can also choose […]

It’s called the Hexactly quilt, and it’s designed by Sam Hunter of Hunters Design Studio. Isn’t this gorgeous?! The folks at Dear Stella had me make the quilt using their Chroma […]

It’s so big I couldn’t get it all in one picture: It hung at the AQS Show in Paducah back in April, and standing […]

When my daughter went to QuiltCon with me in February, she was amazed by all the “pretty and fun things” she was seeing. Pati, at Marcus Fabrics, let her […]
