Cards and case sets are coming in for Safelight, and it is exciting to see this project take off so quickly. We hit our donation goal within 48 hours of the first announcement, and have now gone well over. I knew that the shelter was completely out of bags for new residents, so I wanted …

Having Fun With New Quilting Books
I love books, and enjoy reading about new techniques and patterns. Sometimes, I just like looking at design books to spark my own creativity or boost my motivation. One of the perks of being an affiliate for C&T Publishing is getting advance notice of new releases, along with digital review copies. For April, they are …
Quilt Sashing with Cornerstones
These nine patch star blocks were started last October at an overnight retreat, and then I set them aside for completion later. I had managed to get the stars mostly done, but had to bring them home to complete them as I didn't have the corner white squares with me. I made 20 stars in …

Springtime Tablescape
Springtime seems to be coming early this year with warm days, brighter sunshine, and early flowers blooming. This was the inspiration for a table with sunshine and springtime flowers, and one day blog hop. Once again, I wanted to do this table with only what I had on hand, using the elements in a new …
March in the Garden
The groundhog predicted an early spring for this year, and the flowers seem to agree. All around our place the crocuses are popping up and showing their happy faces. I just love this one, with the variegated purple petals and the intense color stamens. The crocuses are planted around the iris in this bed for …
Retreat Quilt and a Batting Review
On our recent retreat at Febuary Hill, one of the days was spent working on another Quilt of Valor. I had enough stars left from you, dear readers, to do another To The Nines pattern. All I needed to do was to make some nine-patches. I had cut squares and brought them with me, this …
Vintage Christmas Quilt Along – Bell and House
How'd you do on your first two blocks on our Vintage Christmas quilt along? This is a fun way to use up all those bits of Christmas theme fabric you may have lying around. I chose one harder block this month with lots of pieces, and one simpler to keep us on track. If you …
