Make that 2 more!  I won’t show any more EQ drawings.  If you see anything else from this quilt, it will be as blocks on the design wall.
Mom saw the pictures and she liked #2 the best, which is this one:

I moved around some of the blocks, changed the first border and it’s now 87″ [...]

I’ve played around with the design and the colors and I think I might like this one.  Tomorrow I may not like it at all.  Today or tomorrow, maybe Dad will see it and weigh in on what he thinks.  In the event Dad thinks it’s too much like Christmas after it gets made, then [...]

Do you ever get tired of sewing/quilting? I do not! That kinda surprises me because in my life, I’ve gone through hobbies and the only one that has “stuck” has been quilting. I’ve been quilting for 28 years! Not always as prolific as you now know me to be though.
If I [...]

I love adding pieced borders to my quilts. Most of the borders are quite simple. In my borders class, we cover many topics but one that always seems to get lots of “oh . . that’s not so hard!” comments is when we go over my “Making a Pieced Border Fit” handout.

Here’s the back of the quilt I worked on last week. I need a better lens for this type photography and I don’t have a great place inside to take pictures but here are the best pictures I was able to get. This top is about 90″ x 110″. There’s a ton [...]

Update: Claudia wrote me to tell me that the pattern is Twist of Fate by Toadusew. If you want the pattern, please call The Village Mercantile at 812-897-5687. (Don’t tell her you saw her quilt before she did!)
I’m sure everyone who reads this knows that I’m a longarm quilter though I [...]
