Morning Glory in Sunday Drive I had so much fun making this Morning Glory quilt top in Pat Sloan's new Sunday Drive fabrics. I opted to use some of her batiks, and love the outcome! Pat's Sunday Drive collection has just the right mix of navy, red, grey, aqua [...]
I don't always have the chance to share my quilts as I'm working on them, and I've gotten out of the habit, to be honest! But I'm excited to share the beginnings of my Hyperspeed quilt in progress. About a month ago, I pulled out some graph paper to make notes for myself. The quilt has [...]

The last month has been FULL of everything but blogging! Here's a few highlights :: The to-do list I worked up for the month! Thankfully I had a few friends willing to help with the piecing on this list. Quite a bit of work with my favorite pins. Turns out lots of quilters love these [...]

Last week, I was actually feeling pretty bad - I think I overdid it and stayed up a bit too late one night, and paid for it the rest of the week, in the form of a cold. boo! Thankfully, I'm feeling much better, and had a chance to work (play) with my new upgrade - [...]
Are you making gifts for the holidays? There's a mere six weeks to get everything done! I always make something personal for my kids' teachers, and my oldest has a knack for asking me to make gifts for friends at the 11th hour. My solution is to keep a collection of great ideas on hand to [...]
