One of the local hospitals is in need of preemie quilts. They are looking for flannel quilts 3-4 feet in size with no batting. Our Bernina club decided to get together one evening last month and see how many quilts we could put together.
I had some small pieces of left over flannel from the quilts [...]

Robbi came to speak at our quilt guild last month and to teach her Free Expression Buffet class. We got to see a history of her I wanted to take her class because I heard her classes are fun and I already had all of the supplies I needed for the class.

I was commissioned by Bill to create a triptych for his office. Actually it started out as a single panel, but as the discussion progressed it turned into a triptych with a single color connecting the panels visually.

Well, It has taken almost a year, but the BOM that I finished the blocks on last March is finally completed. I have set a goal for this March to finish 4 projects. I have quite a few unfinished projects in my closet that are all more than a year old and that is just [...]



Emily’s Quilt

My sil needed a lap quilt this year, so it was a good excuse to make another rag edge quilt. I really love to make these. Especially since I purchased the die cut machine to cut and fringe the squares.
One of the best parts about making the rag edge quilts is that I [...]

A friend a mine in southern California put out a call for quilts. Her house was spared in last months fires, but many of her neighbors homes were not. I took the leftovers from Mom’s quilt and made another lap size quilt. When I was done, I still had 12 blocks left over. I decided [...]

Several friends and I decided to make a quilt with a heart theme for a friend. We asked everyone to create an 8 inch finished block. Today 3 of us got together to assemble the quilt. I dyed several colors for the borders and sashing. It is hard to pick a color to go with [...]

Last week I took a class with Nancy Brenan Daniel. I signed up at the last minute and didn’t really know what to expect, but I had a great time. We started with strip sets and cut them at an angle. This resulted in two different squares, a light and a dark.
Part of this class [...]
