2018 Q 2 Finish!
My first finish for Q2 of 2018 is is called Disappearing Bento Box which is similar to a stack and whack quilt. The Bento Box blocks are fun to make. Each Bento Box block has 2 colors in it. For the method I used I grouped my fabric in pairs. For each fabric pair I made […]

Super Quilt Santa
Most years I don’t think about making any Christmas presents until it is too late in the year to start and commit to finishing. This year I went in the opposite direction and probably bit off a little more than I could chew. In the end, I took on not 1, but 3 new quilts […]

Specifically they are different types of woodpeckers. My husband, Kent, is a huge bird lover and his favorite of all are woodpeckers. We loved these little […]
