A Montana Wedding
Congratulations to my son and new daughter-in-law! They had a charming wedding in Montana this past August. It rained right before the ceremony, but happily that cooled things down considerably and for their first dance they had this beautiful double rainbow above them! It was spectacular. Quilter that I am, I wanted to make themContinue reading “A Montana Wedding”
Friendship Star Christmas Wreath
My first attempt at a Christmas wallhanging! The friendship star is one of my favorite blocks, so I decided to start with that. And a scrap quilt is always a favorite! This little wallhanging measures 30″ x 30″ so it’s not too big to easily find a place to hang it this holiday season. IContinue reading “Friendship Star Christmas Wreath”
Every Which Way
Is it conceited to say I love these quilts? I don’t mean they’re the best quilts ever, but I so love flying geese and I so love bold colors set off with white, that these little baby quilts check all my boxes haha. The quilt would look great with so many colors and the layoutContinue reading “Every Which Way”
“Cats” Courthouse Steps
I made this wall hanging for my son to hang in his new office. He just graduated from law school and has started a judicial clerkship. After all the years of being a student – finally a real job he’s interested in and pays more than sub minimum wage! Yay adulthood 🙂 I called itContinue reading ““Cats” Courthouse Steps”

A sweet friend of mine is, again, a grandmother! She asked me to make a quilt for her new grand daughter, and here it is! This is such a versatile pattern (and about to be for sale on my website!) that any color scheme will look great. The argyle design is a bit of anContinue reading “Argyle Nine Patch Baby Quilt”
A Quilt Coat for Mom
I finished up another quilt coat! This one for my mother on her 87th birthday. This quilt pattern is called Bear Paw – a traditional pattern from the mid-1800s. I do have a tutorial with photos on my webpage if you’re interested. It’s a simple block, but very effective. Again, the coat pattern is fromContinue reading “A Quilt Coat for Mom”
Stardust Quilt Pattern
Exciting news! I am about to release my first quilt pattern! It is called “Stardust” because obviously it’s a star quilt, but also it’s a scrappy quilt that shines with the stardust you find in your stash 🙂 It is beginner friendly, but suitable for someone who’s been quilting a while too. I include manyContinue reading “Stardust Quilt Pattern”
My Very Own Quilt Coat
I’ve been watching on Instagram as many a quilter has shared a completed quilt coat, getting more envious by the post. I am not a garment maker – nothing I’ve ever attempted has fit. I tried to make cute little outfits when my kids were little – and they wore those attempts, because, well, IContinue reading “My Very Own Quilt Coat”
“Laughter is the hand of God…” Quilt
Some of my dearest friends recently asked me to make a wall hanging for them, using one of his Presbyterian minister stoles. Many moons ago he was our pastor, and while at our church our families became close. He has recently retired, and now primarily does interim work – so he can spare the stoleContinue reading ““Laughter is the hand of God…” Quilt”
