I’m Back
Finally after taking some time to structure my life a bit more and to cut out the unnecesary things in my life. I am hoping to have time to share my quilting life with you. We have a produce business in the summer so that means that I cannot do any quilts. But customers still …
Half Square Triangle ruler
I just purchased this wonderful ruler from Fons and Porter. I think the cost was around $12-$14. And it is worth every penny! I have about 100 2 1/2″ long strips of hand dyed fabrics. I couldn’t find the original pattern I cut these out for…so I put them together, light and dark and cut …
What is the name of this quilt?
I just finished this lovely quilt. I love the colors. The customer wanted some movement in the quilting so we decided on the swirly pattern. When I first seen this quilt I thought it was…’Trip around the world’. But my friend who owns a quilt shop says that that is not what it is. Although …

Another quilt done…more in line
I love it…I just finished the house quilt and it turned out pretty good. Now I will load up a lovely brown/gold quilt. I haven’t decided how to quilt it yet…but once I get it out and look at it for a while I will get some inspiration. How do you get your inspiration?
