My final mini art quilt is finished! The first three were enjoyable to make, and not too difficult, but this one was tough. I had decided to try one last time before giving up - and then I made it.

I had the perfect background, which was probably part of my problem, but didn't know what to do with it. I started by embroidering some of the designs. Chain stitches for the swirls and French knots over them.
Now what? When in doubt, add a twig or two!
After running some errands, I cut a couple of ...
Every once in a while, there’s a quilt that is just begging to be made. This Ribbon Box Quilt is one of those for us! This quilt is a free pattern offered by Cloud 9 Fabrics, and we thought it would be a great way to showcase all those beloved prints that you sometimes can’t […]

Allison Smith is looking for a quilt she made in 2002 while at East Tennessee State University. Ali named her project “Culture Quilt”. This unique quilt is an original design, between single and double bed size, made of blue batik fabric for both the border and sashings.
I was contracted to teach the workshop and students made squares during the day which were incorporated into the quilt. Sorority Delta made a square and a Blind female among others participating.
Ali last saw this quilt in October, 2002 at East Tennessee State University. Ali reported, “This quilt was NOT stolen. I ...

Normally when I work my weekend as the hospital as a nurse, I work Friday, Saturday, and Sundays on the day shift side from 7am to 7pm. Due to a status change, the night sides 7P to 7A were open that weekend as well. I ended up talking to my supervisor and switching to the night side rather than working the days.
