I might be talking about prairie points until I am sick of them because I am giving a talk about how to make and use them at a quilt guild meeting in February. I learned how to make a new kind of prairie point when I made my chicken table runner. I used that same [...]
I don’t know about you but I sometimes doubt my abilities. That is why, when asked to make a bag for a teen, I told my customer to pick out her own fabric. I was surprised when I opened the bag to find fabric I had used before! I have made several bags and a [...]
I enjoy making large totes as opposed to working with small things. My fat fingers are better suited for working with larger pieces. A friend asked me to make two diaper bags for her. Two of her daughters are expecting new babies this summer.

I belong to a quilt guild that encourages participation. This month, we are to make a pillow with an appliqued pumpkin. The pillow we saw as an example was made with Halloween fabrics. It was so cute. I made mine in fall colors so it could be used for fall instead of just Halloween. I [...]
Have you seen all the quilt blocks being displayed on barns around the countryside? I love them! My mom thought it would be nice to have a quilt block on the side of her mini barn and so I made one for her for her birthday in September. My husband cut a sheet of plywood [...]
