The weekend before last found me holed up in a lodge with 19 other quilters just miles away from Keepsake Quilting for a few days of sewing and merriment. I hadn’t intended to spend the weekend working on stuff for my daughter, but I found a pattern at Keepsake from McCall’s that I just couldn’t […]
It’s Spring Cleaning time in my studio! (I wish that I could say that the same is true of the rest of my house, but c’est la vie!) So, for the month of April, everything and I do mean EVERYTHING in my Etsy shop is 50% off. I’m clearing things out to make space for […]
I worked on the next project in Sally Collins’ Mastering Precision Piecing this week. Tiny 1.5″ churn dash blocks and a total top size of 18″ x 15.5.”
This week I started working on some projects from Sally Collins’ “Mastering Precision Piecing.” Hats off to Sally for teaching me to do this: Here’s the finished 4.75″ square miniature quilt top.

I put a couple of quilts in the mail before the holidays that I wanted to share. Mind you, neither was a Christmas gift; they were just both overdue and finally finished. The first one mailed off was a baby quilt for the newest Montana member of our family. When I heard that she was […]
This is my first quilt: I had been quilting for only about 6 months when a cousin of mine announced this project for our grandmother’s 80th birthday and solicited my help. We divided and conquered; she pieced blocks by machine and I pieced by hand. We laid out the design together by pinning flannel to […]
In addition to giving myself a fresh start with my web presence, I am also trying to breathe new life into my quilting and make it a higher priority. I recently heard about an online course offered by Jane Dunnewold called “Artist Strength Training” and am in Week 3 of the class. In Week 2, […]
I’m back! You’ve probably noticed that I have been having some site issues lately. They are all resolved now, but my slate has been wiped clean. I may still work on getting the seven years of blog content that I had back up, but, I have decided that if I fail in that I am […]
