Going through those old quilt tops in the cabinet, I came upon these..... I made them just because they were fun and I thought that they would be nice little quilts to give as gifts. I fus...

So, let me ask you a question. How many quilt tops do you have?? Unfinished, unquilted. :) I have quite a few. And, yesterday I got curious. I took them all out of the cabinet and took a look. I...

Humility???? Hideous?? or perhaps I'll simply call this one "My First Quilt". In 1992, my sister-in-law, taught me the basics of hand piecing. Once I made a couple of blocks, I decided it was ...

I'm really happy with this quilt! Special thanks to my Dear Sister-in-law, Diane, at Dyed Quilting!!!!! She is the one who helped me take the original pattern found in the book Amazingly S...

is done!!!! Woot! I took my quilt out this afternoon to get a quick pic. As soon as the washer is empty, it's going in, so it can get all wrinkled. My favorite quilty look. :) Now, to decide...

I really am. I've been hand quilting on my Hopscotch Quilt and I'm almost done. I can't wait to show you pics. I'm really loving it. And, I've made a few more nine patches. I'm thinking I need t...

My Dear Sister-in-Law introduced me to quilting in 1992 and taught me all the basics. I didn't really get totally involved in quilting until 1998. Quilting is my "happy place" in a sometimes crazy world. My Dear Husband introduced me to coffee in 1992 (1992 was a great year!) and we've enjoyed many "happy cups" together. Now, I enjoy coffee and quilts and when I can have them together.....that's the best of times, especially when shared with loved ones.

I've been to about 6 or 7 quilt shops from Spring, Texas down to Galveston. And guess what I found??? Very little to NO homespun. I was told at the last shop, yesterday, "Homespun really isn't i...

When I first started quilting, I pieced by hand. Everything. I wanted to be a purist. But the problem was this: I wasn't a perfectionist. Face it, I wasn't even good at it. Most of my blocks wer...

All the stars are made, the quilt is resting on the living room floor and I've begun the process of putting the top together. I'm really loving this quilt. I didn't get much time this weekend...

and leaning toward a red inner border (2 inch or so) and a dark blue outer border (4 1/2 inch or so) for the Homespun Stars quilt. Both in plaids. I think I have the red covered, but does anyone...

Yes, I removed the two stars with white backgrounds. They are now in the orphan blocks drawer. Someday they will make it into a quilt. :) So, what do you think?? Does it look better?? I think...
