I started this quilt several years ago, but wasn’t happy with the results, so I put it away, out of sight. In the meantime, I purchased a new sewing machine, Janome, to replace my Singer that would eat my fabric, and make nothing but a mess. I dug this project out last summer and after [...]
I made this appliqued wall hanging with beading for my niece’s first birthday.
I made this Purple Magic Tiles quilt for my parents this past Christmas. It’s a Kathleen Bissett pattern, and was pretty easy to accomplish. On the other hand, the binding I did was rather difficult. 2.5″ pieces separated by 1″ black pieces, stripped together. I had pressed towards the black strips, which resulted in a [...]
I just ordered three Lazy Girl Design patterns from The Cotton Vault. Free shipping of patterns… even to Canada. I can’t wait! Hopefully they won’t take long to get here from Virginia. I ordered, Wonder Wallet, Sassy Bag and the Runaround Bag. I want to make a bag/purse to keep close to me while travelling [...]

I made this banner several years ago using 1″ squares, which finished at just under 0.5″ each.
This was my first bed quilt I ever made, a very simple nine-patch block alternating with solids. I prefer smaller projects… quicker to finish, and easier to quilt. I ended up tying this one.
A rather unusual wall hanging I made for myself. I’m not sure what I was going for, but I don’t think the end result was what I had in mind originally. hehe Oh well, it used up the extra fabric left over from making my bed quilt.
A pre-printed wall hanging I made. One of the few pieces I’ve hand quilted. It’s not really my thing, but who knows, maybe I’ll try it again one day.
A simple nine-patch and appliqued heart wall hanging that I made for my folks many years ago.
I made this lap quilt for my sister.
This is the quilt top I completed at the Victoria Quilts Quilt-a-Thon held earlier this year.
I love collecting charm squares. In fact, I love it so much, I have none left after completing my latest quilt (the quilting is not done yet, so you’ll have to wait to see it). I used to participate in Charm Exchanges, and would love to get back into it. Drop me a line if [...]
