Just basic Nine Patch blocks and some great contrast fabrics.

Life has been a little busy lately. I know I keep saying that. And I keep thinking it will slow down a bit but it never does. Just days before our Linn Family Reunion, my husband had to go to the emergency room and ended up in the hospital for a bleeding ulcer. On the way to the emergency room with Steve, one of his worries was...."I sure hope this doesn't keep you from going to your family reunion". And my answer was that we just needed to get to the hospital and worry about that later ...

I finished up another charity quilt.  I was prompted to as I got a note from Charisma requesting some quilt if I had some.  Well I have tops and last ones I’ve completed lately.  I put the finished ones in a box and was going to send them but wait…I had more room in the box.

I quickly loaded a quilt top from Cindy and quilted away.  Doesn’t Ruby look wonderful on the quilt?!

This is a simple pattern and design but it sure makes a great looking quilt!

All in a all perfect charity quilt as ...

I went on my 5th annual Gruber's Retreat last weekend and it was awesome!!!! I thought it was a good time to start a few new projects, since I've been so good at trimming down my WIP list lately.

To continue my tips on Free Motion Quilting, this "Part Two" will focus on the stuff that happens during the stitching process.

For this month's "How I Do It Tutorial", I thought I would share some tips for Free Motion Quilting (or FMQ).

Something happened in the crazy life of this quilter --- There WAS an archive page at one point showing all the quilts from Adventures with Leaders & Enders, but through blog template re-dos and changing of old computer to new computers, that file was lost. Over the past little while I have been posting, one at a time, a Quiltville of the Day photo on instagram and facebook ---and I

One week of total fun with a great bunch of cousins and another week opening boxes that have been in storage for 20 years.  It was like Christmas in July.  Now to recover and get back to work.

Before tackling the unpacking my daughter and I absconded and went to see Quilt Colorado, which is a great show put on by the Colorado Quilt Council.  This year it was open to members only, but with over 800 members there were lots of beautiful entries.  There were numerous categories and lots of winners so I didn't take photos of all ...

Made the newer one this weekend.  It works much better than the first one I made.  The first one had issues.  The epoxy I used on the hackle just didn't set well.  I used a different epoxy on the comb and it set and hardened with no problem.

The last three rows for the Row by Row Experience are now complete.

In January 2013, I started my first Sue Spargo BOM. I was new to Sue's wool appliqué stitching and I decided to make a test block using wool from my stash. Of course, I then had a finished 6 1/2" bird block which I decided to use as the front of a small needle keep. My original needle keep has served me well these last 18 months but as Sue introduced a wider variety of needles, my original needle keep did not have enough labeled spaces for the needles. I designed my new needle keep with 4 wool ...
