Got the Point? That’s what I’ve named my latest quilt. It was a fun one to make, and it’s now hanging in my sewing room, replacing a quilt that had hung there for over 20 years! It was time for a change, wouldn’t you agree? As you may be able to tell, the quilt is […]

I’ve been taking a long time to get going on the quilting on my current small quilt. I did actually start, but then I didn’t like what I’d done, so I “unquilted” it and started over with the “pondering” phase. However, I’m coming down the home stretch now, and I have to say that I’m […]
read moreI put the finishing touches on a quilt I’d been working on — or on and off! — for a couple of months. Of course, the holidays were in there, so I’ll blame the slow progress on that.

read moreThe Desert Quilters of Nevada, my local guild, has just wrapped up our annual show. There were so many gorgeous quilts, attesting to the expertise of our members! The judge, NACQI Certified Judge Nancy Fula, was fantastic, giving detailed critiques of each piece. This year marked a change in how entrants received those comments, in […]
read moreHappy Monday!! Just when I thought my design wall couldn't get any more colorful, well I just added another layer!! The Queen of the Nile from Pride and Joy Quilting is a new guest on the design wall as we gets started, just completely smitten with her!
I think I need a bigger design wall!! |
But alas there is some custom quilting that must be done and it's a great wintery day to get that started. But I will have the queen of the Nile peeking over my should as I quilt.
Did I tell you about my ...
read moreThis has been a fun little project, and now it’s in the completed column! I’ve just put the finishing stitches in today, and I’m hoping to be able to get busy on the next project very soon.
read moreOh 2023 has gotten off to a great start! 3 quilts on and off the frame. I am in such a quilting groove right now. And I have two more to finish by the middle of Feb so, I do hope the quilting Gods stay with me just a wee bit longer. Want to see what I've been working on? So many beautiful and different things. This is the part where I feel very lucky to be a longarm quilter. I love the quilting part, the final icing on the cake. I get to work on so many beautiful ...
read moreJeanne does such wonderful applique. I've tried a few different ways, and ugh mine looks like well maybe I should just say it doesn't look very good. So when I get a change to quilt with exquisite applique, I enjoy every single minute of it and this was no exception. The spools have so many different fabrics, it was fun to look at them all. But this baby is done!!

read moreAt 85″ x 85″, this Ribbon Weave quilt is much larger than I usually make. Thank goodness for the suspension system I purchased last spring! Wrestling something of this size through my Bernina 790+ would have been exhausting otherwise! If I’d thought through what I was doing, I think I’d have redrafted the design in […]
read moreI’m still working — slowly — on the same quilt as I showed you previously. It’s slow going, since there are always (of course!) interruptions. It’s also quite a bit larger than my usual quilts, due to a lack of forethought before I started it. Thank goodness I have that wonderful suspension system to help […]
read moreI have a terrible time deciding how I want to quilt my quilts! I’ve been waffling and debating with myself for weeks about how I want to quilt this one — as usual. But at least I’ve finally decided on how I want to do the large white blocks; I’ll make a final decision on […]
read moreI missed my FB live last week as I was on a much needed vacation to South Carolina! For the most part, I completely unplugged from work is a first in a while. It felt great to sit in the sun, play some golf and get to know my significant others family! Took a beautiful walk along the inter-coastal waterway.
Back at work this week…. who doesn’t love feathers??? I know, it isn’t me but there are some who don’t. I have had many requests for another video on how to do the Jelly Feather Fill, I ...
