At our last quilt guild meeting, a friend did a program of her work for our guild, and I was simply blown away with her creativity and artistry. I haven't known her long, and although I knew she was a quilter and longarmer, I had not seen her work. Her name is Kathleen Rountree, and …

Just a Couple of Things
First, if you have ordered a pattern from me, and you haven't seen a paypal invoice or an email from me, please check your spam folder.

With the summer winding down, I usually bring out my August placemats and table topper for a new tablescape. This year I haven't been motivated to set a nice table, other than just the basics for me and My Sweet Babboo. So, maybe you'd like to see a couple of past tables with these patchwork …

Assembling the Miniature Quilt
I finished the tiny cornerstones on my last post on this quilt, and now was ready to assemble the blocks into the little top. This is an exercise in patience, as these little blocks have to be precisely pinned. It is tedious work and took an entire day to get the assembly completed. First, I …
