Wouldn't it be great to have a Christmas quilt this season? There are any number of quilt designs that would only need the right colors to be holiday inspired. An easy Christmas Trip Around the World done in red, green and gold becomes a holiday treasure. This one is all holiday prints too. This is …

Quick Charity Quilt
I pulled out a blue floral print as I was trying to clean out some fabrics. I just happened to see another blue, and a yellow fat quarter at the same time. I want to sew up more charity quilts, so this looked like a good combination. But, because I am deep into doing the …
Another Disappearing Nine Patch
Ready for yet another variation on the D9P? I thought originally these prints would make a good color study. Sometimes it is hard to know if prints go together. All these prints related to each other with colors in soft purples and some pale blue. The ecru background fabric was the primary print, with the …
Migrating Geese – a Quickstep Setting
I did another Scrap Dance Quickstep quilt, this time using just nine strips. Sewing long strips is a lot easier than individual squares. These strips are left over from the Moda Bake Shop recipe I did for a Pin Woven Tote (link on sidebar). I sewed sets of three strips. Then I cross cut them …
Patriotic Star Mini Quilt
I wanted a red,white and blue mini quilt for my quilt stand, so I got out some patriotic colors and prints and had some fun. I did something really different this time, and I'll show you step by step. Here's what you need - Four 2-1/2 inch squares each of blue and white, Four 3-inch …

Quilted Art Project Finish!
Yes, it is finally done. I actually worked on it through the week before Memorial Day, and was able to get it mounted and hung last weekend. From the beginning, I wanted something to go on the wall that was large, and I also wanted to use a large oval hoop that has been sitting …
On The Frame and Taking a Break
On the frame now is another quilt for Elizabeth House. I will be working on this as I have time, but the next couple of weeks is going to be very busy with other things. I am using two layers of batting this time, as the roll I have is somewhat thin. Elizabeth House residents …
Quick Squares Table Topper
I need a very quick table topper for my recent luncheon, and I didn't want to bother with any half square triangles. It needed to be much faster to put together. I found a nice block using all squares called Arrowhead Puzzle on Quilter's Cache, and thought four together would be perfect. I used purple …
Quilted Art Project – May update
Try as I might, I still cannot sit still long enough to finish this project, but I have made some progress. I am hoping that next Sunday, (Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, the greatest day in racing), I'll be able to find some stitching time while watching the three major auto races that day. Last …
