Posted - Dec 27 2025 : 03:39:19 AM Krista there is only so much time in a day. My mom used to give us kits, we called it. Like material and a pattern and she would sew them up later.

Posted - Dec 23 2025 : 12:41:58 PM Many of us come later to quilting as it is a very time consuming hobby. I made my first quilt top in 1965, right before my second child was born. It was another 45 years before I had the time to resume. I still have that first top, made with polyester fabrics and bonded lace.

Posted - Dec 20 2025 : 1:35:58 PM Nancy , you are so right! One lifetime isn't long enough to make all the quilts on my wishlist, especially since I began later in life. On the bright side, my husband encouraged me to move my sewing stuff to the basement apartment. This is the back half, partially organized.  And here's the front half.
 As you can see, I won't be alone down here!

Posted - Dec 07 2025 : 7:02:00 PM Yesterday and today, I have been working on a “gift” for my daughter (1st grade teacher) from her class kiddos. I will turn it into a pillow and the kiddos can give it to her on their last day before break. I used a light board to trace their handwriting from paper to fabric.

Posted - Dec 06 2025 : 11:21:47 AM Linda -- I love the bright colors in your quilt. Very nice. Vanessa -- What a different way to display the quilts. It's nice you have a place to do that, we don't have so many quilt shows here anymore due to the high rents to have a show.

 I talked our quilt club into a quilt display today during the Christmas parade festivities. This is only a portion of the courtroom. We had all types of quilts and wall hangings displayed.
