Retreat Fun in Shipshewana from Loose Threads

 I just returned from the Jane Stickle Quilt retreat in Shipshewana, Indiana, last Sunday.   I wasn’t much in the mood to quilt before last week, but I am now.  It’s so great being surrounded by such talented quilters.  There were some there that I hadn’t met before, but there are some of us that have been attending this retreat for over 20 years so it’s great seeing old friends again.  I love visiting Amish country.   


                                                          

I took the photo of the horse outside the Emma Cafe.  Emma is a small town just south of Shipshewana.  This ...

First Finish of 2026 from Loose Threads


Hello friends and happy Tuesday

 If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, or if you follow me on Instagram, you know just how much I love English Paper Piecing.  This quilt is called 1797 Revisited and is my first finish for 2026.  It was a quilt along that went around the internet in 2019 (I think).  This quilt is based on a quilt in the V & A Museum and is made up of 60 degree diamonds that are “snipped” on each end.  



I just finished binding this quilt a few days ago. I had Back Door Quilts ...

Catching Up from Loose Threads

I didn't mean to stay away this long.   If you read my April 1 post, I'd helped move part of a bookcase upstairs.   The pain from that has gone from bad to worse.   I've had x-rays twice and an MRI.   Today I start physical therapy - 8 weeks 2-3 times a week.   I've twisted and pulled things in my back and legs that I can't fix.   If I sit too long, it's getting harder and harder to stand.  Hopefully they can help me figure out what to do.  

Here are some of my spring quilts ...
