I thought I should share some of the quilts I have made, I am missing some photos, but most are here for you to see. Throughout this post you will see my quilts from when I started out through today. I am proud of each one (even if they weren’t great) because they’ve all taught…
Crumb Update
Yesterday was a day for relaxing. I spent the morning at a friends house, drinking coffee and playing cards. I was scheduled for a prep meeting at the courthouse but it was canceled, which I found out halfway there. After that I turned around and used my meeting time to work on some crumb blocks….
Paper Piecing Tutorial
After the release of the Sunflower Fields pattern, I had several people ask me about the paper piecing aspect of the pattern. In fact, the majority of the questions about the pattern were focused on the paper piecing. Is it hard? How much of the quilt is paper pieced? Could a beginner do the paper…

Dear Jane Progress
One of my goals for 2019 is to make AT LEAST two blocks each month for Dear Jane. I figure since it’s a long term project I can get away with minimal progress and still feel like I’ve accomplished something. Here is my first Dear Jane Block of the year. So far so good. My…
