Custom Quilts
My mother, who taught me to quilt, is still piecing a few quilts at age 88. My brother wanted a new quilt for his bed, so she pieced it and I quilted and bound it for her. We presented it to him on Thanksgiving Day at his home where we always celebrate Thanksgiving. I’m very…
Read MoreI make a lot of quilts out of Crown Royal bags for people who have collected them. They make really nice Christmas gifts or Father’s Day gifts.

Read MoreA few weeks ago, I told you about teaching my three little great nieces to sew and helping them piece quilt tops. I then brought them home with me so I could quilt them on my longarm quilting machine and bind them. I was able to take the quilts to the little girls this weekend…
Read MoreAs promised, here are more pictures from the “sewing class” at my sister’s house with my three great-nieces. They were quite pleased to get their first four patch blocks sewn. And they were even happier with the finished quilt tops. I’m looking forward to taking the finished quilts to the girls at Easter.
Read MoreI recently posted a blog about my young granddaughter and the quilt that she made. My last post was about my mother and her teaching me to quilt. I had the privilege this past weekend to teach three more little quilters. I traveled with my sister, along with her daughter and three granddaughters, to visit…
