This basket quilt was made about seven years ago, and I keep getting it out and putting it away. I need to applique some flowers in the baskets to finish it off. Indecision is the theme here! The thing is, my deadline is February 11. I foolishly put this project on my UFO Challenge list …

Quilting Hearts Around
Quilting the Hearts Around Table Topper took longer than I thought. Click on Hearts Around to see the construction phase. The main issue was I couldn't decide how to do it. After taking several free motion longarm classes last summer, I have yet to actually do an entire quilt with free motion. So, taking a …
Hearts Around Table Topper
Scrappy reds are so pretty, and I really like these fabrics with their burgundy and cream colors. What better motif for scrappy reds than hearts? This table topper with its hearts facing different ways makes a wonderful centerpiece and everyone has the same view. Its finished size is about 28 inches square. Start by cutting …
Christmas Hexagonal Table Topper
This is a really fast and very easy table topper to whip up for tomorrow’s open house or that last minute gift. All you need are 5 coordinating fabrics, just a few strips of each one. I have seen this done with all the same size strips, but I think it has a little more …
November Block of the Month
This month the local quilt store gave us the Sunlight and Shadow block from Quilt Blocks Galore. They decided that our quilt needed more green, so they chose a nice deep green batik to pair with the gold. You'll need mostly squares, with a few HSTs made from more squares. As usual, I like the …
Quilting Panels
I am never buying another panel. There, I said it. I mean it. Really. I always have such a hard time deciding what to do with all the bits and pieces. Do I sash them and fit them into a quilt? Do I add them to other fabric for a tote bag like my Coffee …

This runner uses 9-inch finished size blocks. The finished size is approximately 11-1/4 x 47 inches. Here is what you will …
Maple Leaf Table Runner
The maple leaf block is a classic block, perfect for the autumn season. It is a really easy block to make, and can be done in different sizes as needed. Essentially it is just a nine patch block of squares, with a few half square triangles and a stem. Putting five of them together with …
Quilt of Valor custom
I finished up the quilting on this Quilt of Valor as I had a lot of time over the weekend. I did a lot of stitch in the ditch around all the blocks, and around the stars or spools inside the blocks. I got a little more feather practice, and put egg-and-dart in the sashing …
