Q 4 Finishes!
I decided to join the 2017 Finish-A-Long for the 4th Quarter this year. I had 4 quilts on my Q4 list, but only finished 2. My first finish from my list is called Of Cloth and Thread. I gave this to a friend I work with for Christmas; she was surprised and loved the quilt. I had […]
Diamonds Forever Quilt
I am a big fan of the Kaffe Fassett Collective and one of my all time favorites are the Shell Montage Pattern by Philip Jacobs. For years I bought this pattern in every colorway I could find and saved it up for a future quilt. I found a pattern in a quilting magazine by Kaffe Fassett called Diamonds […]

So far this year a handful of projects have required me to try some new and different things. This wasn’t the result of some New Years resolution or plan on my part; it just came about that way. Although trying new things can be challenging it is always good to stretch yourself a little. I […]
Finishing up the Year
In my first blog post I challenged myself to finish 5 kits by the end of the year. I bought all these kits in 2006-2007 and wanted to finish them up before starting many more projects. Around September I began to wonder if I would be able to meet my challenge, but I am happy […]
Shop hop in South Dakota
We had the pleasure of visiting friends in Rapid City, South Dakota recently. My friend Judi took me on a shop hop in the area. Amazingly there are 12 quilt shops within a hour of Rapid City. I was impressed with how different each of the shops were; it was rare to see the same […]
