Colorful Tee-Shirt Quilt Comlete
Okay, I completed it months ago but haven’t had the time to blog about it. My customer, Robyn, absolutely loved it. I decided upon using various blocks. Nine patch, three bar fence rail, four patch, five bar fence rail and half square triangles. There were a few pockets that were in good shape so I […]
Snowmobiling in Wyoming
Tom and I have been married now for 20 years. For our 10th and 15th anniversary’s, we went snowmobiling in Wyoming. We decided it was worth a third trip. Our first two trips were to Togwotee Mountain Lodge. Which is a great place. This time we stayed at a guest ranch in Moran, Turpin Meadow […]
What to Do with Colorful Tee Shirts
I have a customer whose father passed away. She has asked me to make a quilt from the t-shirts he used to wear. Most tee-shirt quilts are made from tees that have some sort of design on them. Like the ones purchased while on vacation, or from some event, or sports teams, etc. This is […]
Patchwork Pals Raffle Quilt
Back in April, I received the Raffle Quilt for the Dracut, MA guild, Patchwork Pals. It gave me the opportunity to try some new found designs. I was not sure which designs I wanted to use in the center so I started with the borders. The outermost border is wider on the top and bottom […]
Where’s the Squirrel
I love my dogs but sometimes they are just plain goofy. Once the squirrels come out for the season, they go from tree to tree chasing them. They will sit for hours under the trees watching and waiting for the squirrels to come down. My next door neighbor once wondered if they get stiff necks. […]

She has a unique way of looking at quilting. Her philosophy of going with the flow and make a beautiful quilt really inspired me. Sometimes […]
Ellen’s Quilt is Finished
I finally finish Ellen’s quilt. I had a tough time with it though. At first the design I wanted to do in the green sashing did not look that great. Though Tom didn’t think it was all that bad. But need less to say, I had to rip it all out. I was trying to […]

Working on Ellen’s Quilt
Yeah I know. It was supposed to be a Christmas present. Between not having time and not really sure how I wanted to quilt it, I have been procrastinating on it. I have been keeping up with customer quilts. Just not my own. I spent most of this past week at the Machine Quilters Expo […]
