Another class!

A quick post to mention that I’m going to be teaching another class for Home Ec. at Reform School!  It’s a one night class on how to make a patchwork pillow sleeve!  First we’ll improvisationally piece a wonky log cabin block and then we’ll turn it into a pillow sleeve. All on the evening of [...]

Weekend blocks

This weekend I made a bunch of blocks that are headed off to different homes.

Fresh start…

I always love starting a new quilt.   There’s a sense of wondering how it will end up that I love!  I’ve pulled fabrics and just gotten started. All I can bring myself to want to make with them is wonky log cabins. I have a problem. I’m stuck on the wonky log cabin block. I [...]
