October Sky

To date I have to say this was the most nerve wracking, nail biting, most 'serious' quilt I have made. I made it for Bryce while we were in WI. It has a combination of courthouse stairs and log cabin squares. I wish you could see how many seams there were to press! Just last month I had to do some minor repairs on the binding. Still looks good and like it was been loved.

Square On Point

After going to Amish country I got an idea to use some scraps I had to make one of these Squares on Point quilts for Cassie to have for Alaire. I love it. The colors make me happy. The fact that I figured out how to do it is amazing. And then there is the quilting. About 1/4 inch apart there are squares that were started as stitch in the ditch...the entire quilt 1/4 inch quilting in the 'on point' design.

Creative Juices

I have a wonderful blogging friend in California named Jan. She does more than I could ever do. Had creative juices running thru her fingers all the time. Well, she gives away books all the time. But now she is giving away the cutest camera strap...and a tutorial on how you can make on on your own. Check her blogs out...she has a million of them....and be ready for some amazing photos, lots of good food, interesting book, and......the list goes on and on. You can find them on the right side of her blog...just click and be amazed.

Thanks Jan for always wanting to share with your blogging friends.

Drunkard's Path

I love reading about the Underground Railroad and all the quilts and the meanings of each. Cassie loved the Drunkard's Path. Let me just say that this will probably be the one and only one that will come from my sewing machine. What a labor of love. It is the only appliqued quilt I have even done. Sewn with invisible thread. I added two extra borders to make it fit thier bed.
