I make quilts. Yesterday a friend asked me about my quilting. It wasn’t the regular “how long did that take” question. He asked to see what I was currently working on. Then he asked, “who’s it for?” “Ummmm….No one in particular.” Is that weird? Making quilts which don’t have a designated home? To create just…
On my 2016 Q1 Finish-A-Long list the first item was a secret sewing project and now I can finally reveal it. It’s an Open Wide Zipper Pouch (tutorial by Noodlehead) for my QuiltCon 2016 Triangle Quilt Challenge co-conspirator. After finishing the quilt (topic for a future blog post) there were just a few triangles left…
It’s finally finished! I started my Sew Together Bag (pattern by SewDemented) in a workshop. Note I said “started”, not finished.

I went to South Dakota to see our DD a few weeks ago and, while she was working, I took myself to the Custer Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild show. Talking to a few of the members, I found out the guild has about 40 members and those members put on quite a show.
Gulp. Last week and my turn for the 2015 New Quilt Bloggers Blog Hop. I hope you’re enjoying all the posts. It’s a great group of quilters and everyone, especially our hosts/mentors, has been generous with advice and tips. I’m in the Quantum Quilters hive hosted by Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl. If this is your…
Last weekend DH and I made a last minute trip to Oregon for the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. We certainly didn’t over think this trip – we made a hotel reservation the Monday before show and set off with vague plans. The only concrete item on the itinerary was to see the show on Saturday.…
