I'm looking on the bright side these days; if I didn't, the whole situation of living in a construction zone would drive me over the edge. I knew that I had to shift the focus to that which I could change for the better. As someone who craves order and tidiness I am faced daily with my biggest enemies: disorder, clutter, chaos and dust; piles and piles of it! My challenge is to deal with all of

Up at my Mom and Dad's in New Hampshire they're buried under snow with more forecast to fall on Saturday. My Dad loves it but my Mom has had enough already! Speaking of my parents, today is their 71st wedding anniversary! This picture was taken a while ago, but you can see how cute they are! Happy Anniversary,

read moreI chose a flower and leaf all-over design for the quilting.
I think it was a great choice for this quilt. This was the first time I used Hobbs 80/20 Cotton Blend Batting and I'm so glad I gave it a try. The texture is great! Good thing, too, since I bought the whole roll.
Trimmed and ready for binding.
I love these little novelty prints!
Mary also pieced this great pinwheel quilt.
I chose an edge-to-edge quilting design with clouds and rainbows for this one.
Pieced by Janice for Annapolis Quilts for Kids.
I quilted stars and moons for this little quilt pieced by Maureen.
Quilted and ready for binding. I will drop these off at the next workshop for Annapolis Quilts for Kids.
This one includes some string pieced quarter log-cabin blocks alternating with leftover 6.5" blocks. Scrappy with a bunch of movement. Once I get some backing fabric I'll get these quilted up and ready for binding. read more
Another day, another flimsy; no, actually it's a day to celebrate: here's "Red Letter Day", a completed quilt top at long last! I'd been very, very far behind on this block-of-the-month. This one took some full speed concentration and focused effort but, today, it's together and there's no looking back. This applique block brings me joy- I fussy cut that circle from a charm square, it appears to

Wonky, scrappy nine-patch. This is such a fun little quilt. Pieced by another member of Annapolis Quilts for Kids.
Mary also pieced this fun soccer-themed top. I love that striped border!
I quilted it with the fun soccer edge-to-edge design. It's great when I have the perfect design to work with a quilt. That grass green thread is pretty great, too.
This is one I pieced using the Creative Grids Scrap Crazy 6 Templates Quilt Ruler 4pc Set. You can learn about that in this blog post from July 2022.
This is the other Scrap Crazy Template quilt I pieced. This one is quilted with a star pantograph.
