Moonbeams QAL

MOONBEAMS QAL

I’m thrilled to share my journey with the Moonbeams Charity Quilt Along, the 11th in the series designed by the Fat Quarter Shop to support Make-A-Wish, North Central Texas division.

As many of you know I suffer from Paralysis by Analysis. Not a medically diagnosed affliction but a self induced one. When I see a quilt, I want to make it just like it is shown. How about you? Same thing, right? Picking the fabrics and color is the hardest part of quilting for me. Add another layer of pressure knowing that this quilt will ...

I love this quilt so much! from Moda Lissa

Fall Quilt Magic 

There’s a distinct magic in the air that can only mean one thing – fall has arrived or kind of. We are finally experiencing a relief from the extreme heat in Texas. We can’t wait to cozy up, to savor the simple pleasures, and to find warmth in the midst of nature’s gentle descent into winter. What better way to capture the feeling of fall than by pulling out quilts and decorating for the season.

In a world filled with mass-produced items, there’s an undeniable charm in creating something with our own hands. A ...

I Like Thursday @ Not Afraid of Color 

This week LeeAnna asked us if we are a night owl or morning person

and if we are happy with what we are.

I am a bit of both and have a seasonal approach.

"Turn Around and Say Good Morning to the Night" 

Listen to "Good Morning To the Night"

In winter, when the days are short and the temperatures are well below freezing
