I’ve been wanting to make something with selvages again for awhile. Does this like it could be trees with snow on them? Click here to get my free How to Make Selvage Fabric Tutorial I have them sorted and stashed in these orange shoe boxes waiting. I took the plunge! The temptation was too great 🙂 …

It won’t stop talking to me! This quilt has pushed it’s way to the top of my list even though I really should be working on others. I’m giving in because it makes me grin every time I look at it. So yesterday I got up and started working more on it. I found enough…

We had a couple of hours of Autumn sunshine today. Long enough for me to grab my camera and take a few photos of the quilting on my latest finish, my Quilty Barns and Mini Spools Quilt. You might be able to see that I quilted through the middle of the spools to make two…

Halloween is over for another year, but not before we had some fun decorating! And NO SNOW! It did end up raining quite a bit, but since the trick or treaters started really early (like 5 o’clock!) we turned the lights out by 8 anyway. Before Halloween night was over I did have a quilt…
