It is my favorite time of year, and this year I'll be doing a quilt along to help us get started on Autumn themed projects, leading up to my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. The projects will be suitable for the entire fall season, but the best part is the quilt along that starts today!! There will …

Autumn Jubilee!
Finally, it is almost October and we can really get into the Autumn season, my favorite! It was wonderfully cool last night, down to the low 50s, and I got out my sweater this morning to go to the Asheville Quilt Guild's Quilt Show. I have been working on a special event for the past …

Decorating for Autumn
The weather should be cooling off a bit this coming week, at least that is the hope. It sure was still too warm last week when I met a friend for coffee. She reads my blog and said it was time to show some fall decorations. Of course, she is right (yes, you, CW!!). I …

Victorian Pastel Quilt
This was a beautiful quilt, and so pretty in the pastel pinks and purples. I love this combination of colors. The blocks are five sided log cabin style with at least a dozen different prints. They were left for our local club's program chair at our sew in and no one claimed credit. The blocks …
How to Re-cover an Ironing Board
Ironing board covers do wear out regularly, and need replacing. If you have a standard board that most people have, just buying a new cover is easy. But, my board is a specialty shape that is no longer made. It is larger than the standard board, with an elongated end for ironing in the round, …
Using Panels for Quick Finishes
In our local quilt club, our charity quilting chair brought a number of preprinted panels to the last meeting. She asked for us to simply quilt the panels for our outreach to children in need. I know I like to do more piecing when doing any quilting, but there is an urgent need right now …
Longarm Quilting – Fixing a Border
Only one time have I done this type of fix. Removing a border on a quilt almost quilted was the only way to fix this one. The amount of excess fabric in the inner border was staggering. I knew as I was quilting it that it had some fullness. But the top wasn't too bad, …
