Snowflakes in May
May 2020
Yes. You read that correctly. Today, we had snow flurries. In May!!! I even wore my winter jacket, mitts and a hat this morning on my walk. In May. It can be cool here at this time of year but it has been many years since I remember having snow in May. Speaking of snow, my snowflake quilt is done! The quilting was done by Julie, a local long arm quilter and is a snowflake pantograph. Finn assisted with the hand stitching of the binding... Sometimes, he was not quite so helpful! The backing…

I love pieced backs. It's also a good way to use up left over fabric.This backing idea is from Gyleen Fitzgerald. This is one of my favorite border quilting patterns. I love quilted straight lines. They add so much movement to a quilt. The whole quilt. Richard thought the quilting was odd, but I…

2 1/2" Square Scrappy Top Finished
April 2020
Looking back on things, I chose the perfect time to make a scrappy quilt. Sewing together 2 1/2" squares in a somewhat random way is really mindless. I didn't have to concentrate on anything, really. I went back and forth on what to do with the borders of this quilt and after realizing that I didn't have enough of the white fabric to do what I had in mind, I decided to add three more rows of the scrappy squares. I love it!! There are so many fun fabrics in this quilt and some go way back to…
