Back to the Blue and Yellow Charity Quilt
When we left this project before the Christmas in July event, my longarm had completely locked up. I was flabbergasted, it always chooses a holiday weekend to give me trouble, and this happened over the 4th of July weekend.

Make a Christmas Quilt for 2016

Scrap Dance Quickstep Garden Maze Quilting
After looking at the pieced Quickstep Garden Maze top for a bit, I considered adding a border of brown or looking for a rock or stone print to mimic a stone wall around the garden. Ultimately, I decided it would look best with borders of the same green. So I added those using the proper …

Mardi Gras Mini Quilt
The table stand needed something colorful for Mardi Gras, so time to bring out the scraps and make a new mini quilt. The colors of purple, green and gold are gathered in this small quilt based on a single block. The diamond shape created with the color placement is reminiscent of the harlequin designs used …
Beaded Quilted Purse
This beaded trim from the upholstery department in the local fabric store is really neat. I love the long strands that catch the light and have such movement. I have long thought that this kind of trim would be so pretty on a bag. I had the perfect fabric to go with it too, this …
