Quilt Retreat
I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I posted a blog. We usually get a little slowdown in June after graduations and then again in January after Christmas. Well, neither of those happened this year. Mind you, I’m not complaining. I did get to go on a quilt retreat at Quilter’s Cabin in…
Read MoreI just got back from my annual Sister Trip with my two sisters. We stayed in a hotel suite so we would have room to set up our sewing machines and have a mini-retreat. We went to Austin and visited seven different quilt shops. We always saved doggie bags from our lunches to eat for…
Read MoreI shared a couple of my friends’ retreat quilts last week, so I thought I would share a couple that I pieced at Quilter’s Cabin. The one on the left will probably be donated to West Houston Quilter’s Guild for a charity quilt. Our guild regularly donates quilts to Project Linus and to nursing homes.…
Read MoreBecause I really felt the need for one more retreat per year (two just aren’t enough), I scheduled a retreat for this week at Quilter’s Cabin and invited ten of my favorite quilters. There were only six of us including myself who were able to come, but we had a great time. Jody, my best friend…
Read MoreI just got back from a retreat at Quilter’s Cabin in Tomball a couple of weeks ago and even though there were only four of us, we accomplished a lot. We worked on some charity quilts as well as quilts for ourselves. I made the quilt on the left for my bedroom. Here are a…
Read MoreAt our recent retreat, our bee members presented our “elder stateswoman” with a Round Robin quilt. Shirley had given us the center medallion a couple of months ago and asked us to complete it for her. Each of us took a turn at adding pieced borders to the quilt and she did not see it…
Read MoreI talked in my last post about our bee retreat at “And Sew It Began-Pieceful Stitches” and mentioned how much fun it was shopping in our pajamas. So I thought I would add a couple of photos. The face has been hidden to protect the innocent! I wanted you to see more of the quilt…
Read MoreI just got back from the most wonderful retreat with my Sew Bee It quilting bee. It was our first stay at “And Sew It Began-Pieceful Stitches” in LaPorte, Texas, and it is a fabulous place to retreat. Ronda Stockton, the owner, could host her own remodeling and decorating TV show. The house is a beautifully…
Read MoreOver fifteen years ago, I heard a motivational speaker say, “You’ve got to find your people.” Her philosophy was that in order to be happy, one needed to surround oneself with people who have the same interests. I knew right away what kind of people I needed to find…..quilters. So I joined a quilt guild…
Read MoreThe owner of Quilter’s Cabin is moving back into her log home in which I and my friends have had the pleasure of retreating the past few years. The good news is that Diane still has the original Quilter’s Cabin available for retreats. At our last retreat, some of us were working on some very…
Read MoreQuilters never get tired of making quilts, even in the heat of August. My friends and I had another retreat at Quilter’s Cabin the first week of August and I got to work on another wedding gift quilt. I still have to add the borders, but you can see the partially finished project on the…
Read MoreEvery time I tell someone who is not a quilter that I am going on a quilt retreat, he or she asks, “What exactly does one do at a quilt retreat?” I think they think it couldn’t be more boring, but for quilters, it couldn’t be more fun. I’m sharing a few pictures from the…

I started making quilts as a child and have been quilting for others for over twenty years. Quilts that I have quilted have been featured in several quilting books and magazines.
