Sometimes I think and think to come up with an idea for a class and sometimes my students ask me to teach them to make a particular design. This was a special request. I’ve been working to get the design done so that I can ge the class set up at the frist of the year. The class is already at least half filled but I have a feeling we will have plenty of folks who would like to make their own. Watch for dates to be listed soon.

This cute little baby blanket is going out today to a friend and her new granddaughter. They have cats and I just knew this little panel would be perfect for them.

Just got my Red Poppy, Yellow Poppy quilt back from my longarm quilter. She did a beautiful job on it. I really like this one. It’s a happy, bright quilt.

Just finished the Tree & GIft Table Topper last night and got the binding on. I love it. Lincoln isn’t sure yet. And it can easily be made into a tree skirt as well. Cute, huh?

A few weeks ago I introduced a new series of quilts that I had designed, all based on NOT including any half-square triangles. My good friend, Wilma, hates making half-square triangles so I designed this group of quilts with her in mind and decided to call it The Wilma Series. (See and read about that here.) I just finished one of the designs this afternoon. I love the colors and the modern feel to this quilt. It was put together using the Quilt As You Go method. It went really fast!

Last night I worked on the designs of a new quilt series. The thing that makes it special is that it has no half square triangles in it. My friend Wilma is NOT a fan of half square triangles so I am calling this collection Wilma…..just for her! LOL! Patterns will be available soon as well as a class to teach an “On Point” quilt using the Quilt as You Go method.

Lincoln and I have been working on our Sawtooth Star quilt. We need to make about 80 blocks. We still have a way to go.

Remember the BIg Quilt Adventure that we went on in March? (Read about it here and here. ) And remember that I designed a quilt that featured a block for each of the states that we stopped and shopped in? (See that here.) Well, it’s back from the long-arm quilter and I LOVE IT! It is going to be a great memory from our trip and the quilters who went along on this epic adventure. I added a label to the back that features my fellow shoppers.

Remember back in March when we took that epic road trip to Missouri for fabric acquisition? (Read more about it here.) Well, I designed a quilt that features a block that represents each of the states that we stopped and shopped in along the way. I call it Road Trip 2023. Here is my version of the quilt using fabric that I purchased on the trip. I just finished the top yesterday and plan to send it out to be quilted. I gave each of the quilters who went on the trip this pattern and I know a couple of them are making there own versions of the quilt. I can’t wait to see how they turn out.
