There has been quite a bit of interest in the Disappearing 9 Patch quilt top I made a couple of weeks ago. That humbles and surprises me, new quilter that I am. (Thank you.) When I started a new one for our Little Gal who is turning 5 tomorrow (sob), I thought I’d photograph the process [...]

I walked into our girls’ room this morning to find the room had been picked up (check), the blinds were open (check), the sheets were taken off the bed for today’s laundry (check), and then…
I found this on the bed, next to an Easter hat and a pile of stuffed animals.
It looks like our 10 year [...]

As I mentioned, our ballerina and I are taking a quilting class soon. But, being myself, I just couldn’t wait a full week until the class, so over the weekend I used this tutorial to make a Disappearing 9 Patch incubator-sized [...]

Isn’t Gazelle the prettiest name for a needlework floor stand? My Gazelle (the original), after 10 years of use, has gotten wobbly (the family manufacturer will likely take care of that – they were great in the past so I emailed them about this recent problem) .
