A good friend of mine is expecting her first baby next month.  I had a ball making two baby quilts for her.  Well, actually I made four baby quilts.  For some bizarre reason I was picturing her with a baby girl, so the first two quilts had a bit more pink in them.  As soonContinue reading “Baby Quilt Time!”

Here is another set of blocks I am playing with.  I started off with this cool jelly roll.  I had seen a block like this on Jeni Baker’s site and wanted to give it a try.  However rather than using white as the background, I wanted to use a busy looking fabric just to seeContinue reading “Playing with a Jelly Roll”

This has been everyone’s favorite snuggle quilt over the past week.  It has been unusually cold here and we’re all feeling the need to be covered in soft, fuzzy quilts.  The blue back is the softest Minky fabric I have felt yet!  It is perfection. And a picture with Kevin too – before I brushedContinue reading “Minky Takes the Chill Out!”

Greetings!  I’ve been busy making parts this past week.  There have been so many things I’ve wanted to just dabble in – so that is exactly what I’ve been doing.  How fun is that?  Here are two of the parts I’ve been working on – a fun star strata piece using an 8 1/2 inchContinue reading “Happy Tuesday! A Few Parts in Progress…”

My parents are both very active in the St Vincent DePaul Society in Colorado.  Their dedication to helping people has been inspiring.  Last summer I gave them about a dozen quilts to pass along to people in need.  Two of my favorite recipients have been a young girl and a woman with MS. The quiltContinue reading “A Little Different…”

I love the assorted shades of blue that came in my “Bali Pop” roll.  All the different blues reminded me of the water, so of course sailboats needed to be a part of this project as well. I have the center area finished, but now I need to figure out what comes next.  Definitely timeContinue reading “Work in Progress – Bali Pops and Sailboats”

The Monster House is quite silly.  I had this really fun monster fabric that I wanted to use, so making a big house for the monsters seemed like the logical choice.  Once I had their house put together I decided it looked too boring, so I chopped it up and put it back together soContinue reading “The Monster House”

Camille Roskelley’s “Retro” block was definitely a lot of fun to make.  In fact I liked it so much that I made two quilts with that block.  I thought it would be fun to try the quilt in purple and orange.  Because the  purple and orange were so strong in color, I added the whiteContinue reading “The “Retro” Block – Kevin’s Red One and the Purple One”

I have been having a blast working on a simple and fun block called “Retro”.  The block pattern is from a book by Camille Roskelley called Simply Retro.  I really love her patterns –  they all look so clean and crisp.  Her blocks are also very straight-forward so you can just jump right into themContinue reading “Work in Progress Wednesday!”

My husband spent some time in London on a 3 month work assignment.  He didn’t really know anyone there so on the weekends he would go shopping.  He doesn’t like to shop for himself so he would shop for goodies for my daughter and I.  How cool is that?  Well it gets even better –Continue reading “Repurposed Fabrics from London”
