I made these blocks almost a year ago. The “Bunny Lady” quilt is another attempt at designing my own quilt. Something different happened this time – it TALKED to me and I LISTENED! Perhaps you have been down this road of making your own quilt pattern too. Usually for me it starts on paper and…

You can see the sun is shining here this morning. I have put up some new projects to complete by the end of March. On the left is my next Mystery Basket BOM block. The crazy quilt bunnies and carrots I put together last year. The bunnies were inspired by many ideas colliding all at…

My Valentine Runner is Quilted! I made the runner last year. I know I used this big block pattern, which was in a Fon’s and Porter Love of Quilting magazine (maybe even the Feb 2009 issue?) because it would give me large spaces to practice quilting.A year later, here it is:) I used a different…

But this morning I really needed to clear off, clean up and get some stuff done. Something Completely DifferentMy…

I’m almost whistling because I’m making some progress on a few things today. I’m almost done the middle section of my Valentine runner. In this photo you can see I used a different thread for the heart border on the yellow fabric. I think you can see it better ( at least in person). I’ve…

My Birthday Baskets Quilt is done! If you click on the photo to make it larger you can see the ‘zigzag’ quilting I did on the panels. I made it to fit above this bench in our entryway. It’s my own design, inspired by many antique quilts. The basket block is from the Quilter’s Cache.…

A holiday Monday made it tricky for me and my design wall: A little bit of progress on this block. At least it looks like it’s supposed to – pretty sure it’s not supposed to take a month of work, though. Maybe a month of Mondays!:) Check out the design walls of the other quilters…

It’s slow going on the table runner quilting. I adjusted the exposure on this photo so you could see the row of hearts on the runner. A happy accident! Still using freezer paper to add some more designs. I’m making smaller heart circles in the four corners. I’ve planned some paisleys for between the blocks.…
