The quilt that I made with all of the women involved in Block Party, a virtual quilting bee, is finished and it’s beautiful! Each and every block in this quilt is perfect. Right?? I’m so lucky this is mine. If you click through to this photo on flickr, you can see a collage with a [...]
Put together this little baby boy quilt top based on Denyse Schmidt’s What a Bunch of Squares quilt. It’s a gift for family friends. Fun to be working with a small quilt again after my bigger Block Party one. Speaking of, I’m mere stitches on the binding away from finishing it! Can’t wait for you [...]
I’m in love with my Block Party quilt! The top is all finished… …and I’ve been quilting away. I should be done soon!
Clearly I’m not the most creative at coming up with quilt names… oh well – I guess this says it all! All finished! I love it. Love love love it. I think it’s so youthful and funky and just fun! For the back I did a simple strip of patchwork – mostly solids with a [...]

Sunny fabric! And amazingly generous friends! Elizabeth sent me some Heather Ross fabrics for no reason other than that she’s just so so nice!! And the last thing that makes me happy? Friday! It’s Friday! Today is my last day on my latest job (I’m freelance) and I feel like school’s out for summer! Wheee! [...]
Sew, Mama, Sew! posted a little interview with me about my sewing machine. Check it out! I don’t have a fancy machine, but she’s served me right!
Recently got almost all caught up on my bee blocks! I do so enjoy the process of being in bees. Small projects! Blocks for Ashley for Block Party – she’s not going to use sashing when she assembles the blocks, so I hope the white and pink frame works! Carol‘s blocks for 12 Squared: And [...]
