Whoo-hoo! Finally, a huge finish! This is the Trail Mix quilt from American Patchwork and Quilting magazine in 2004! That year or the next, there were several versions of it in our local Plano quilt show. I loved every one of them. I don’t know exactly when I finally started my own, but I used…

You would think that not being able to go out and about would make it much easier to find time to sew. And, yes, I think there is some truth in that, but I think I have actually used more of my extra time on puzzles and cross-stitch. Oh, and doing some digital scrapbooking to…

I grew up in the era of double knit fabrics, and my mother was a professional seamstress. (For any of you modern sewists, that’s what we were called back then!). That meant there was plenty of double knits in my house. However, my mom didn’t quilt, so I don’t have any double knit quilts from…

I want to introduce you to my kids, or at least give you an update of what each of them is up to these days. With my girls, I will highlight their quilting prowess; with my son, I’ll have to tell you of his writing and bread baking exploits, since he hasn’t sat at a…
