I had my first quilt in a quilt show! It was my guild’s quilt show this past May and this was the quilt which I named Cool Kisses on a Warm Day because of the cool blue “kiss” squares on the warm red background. The quilt itself was the result of a workshop on color…
It’s been a little silent here due to some travel and family stuff. But here’s something I did manage to get done between trips. A quilt and tote bag that I recently finished as a gift for my cousin for her new little boy. I often find quilts to be a nice palate cleanser since…
This quilt took forever. Okay, not forever. Twenty-one years. But that’s still a very long time for a single quilt. I started it for my bestie Serena while we were still in college. I had completed one quilt at that point. I was very ambitious in deciding to make a queen size quilt for anyone,…
I have some garment makes that I want to post, but first I want to wrap up my makes from our quilt guild retreat. One of the items we got was a little English Paper Piecing Kit from Paper Pieces. I’d never done EPP and these little kits are a great introduction. EPP seems like…
My quilting guild retreat was supposed to be over Memorial Day weekend. I originally wasn’t supposed to go, but it got switched to a virtual retreat and since my original plans were cancelled, I was able to attend. The organizers did an amazing job with lots of fun projects, a 24 hour zoom room, a…
While I get photos of some other stuff together, here’s a photo of another quilt I finished. This one was for my cousin’s little girl.

Quilt at the Riley Blake Booth I finally got the chance to go to QuiltCon this year in Savannah, Georgia! I went with my mom and had a great time. I took a bunch of photos of some of my favorite quilts. Most of these were my favorites because they were interesting or inspiring, not…
A while ago (and by a while I mean like 10 years ago), my mom made a quilt top. This quilt top languished in her fabric vault until about a year or two ago when I started doing longarm quilting. When I was home last time, I told her she just needed to get it…
I get a lot of joy out of quilting and sewing, but most of the sewing that I do would be classified as “selfish sewing.” It’s sewing that I do for me because I want to. I don’t feel too bad about this because I work hard at my job and sewing is one of…
So, I’m a tad behind in posting. As usual, getting pictures from my camera to my blog always takes longer than expected. Here’s the block from Chapter 4 for April. For this one, we did reverse appliqué. Above is after I based the green pieces to the back using quilt basting spray. I also starched…
