We normally sew at Linda’s dining table, but she recently had her screened in…

I 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…

If you’ve read many of my blogs, you know that I am passionate about quilting. I just love the process. But there is also a great deal of satisfaction from the pleasure that others derive from my quilts. I got a text from my sister yesterday that was probably the most rewarding I’ve ever gotten…

I 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.…

Because 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…

At 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…

I seem to be on a family theme the last few blog posts, and yet, I have one more. My sisters and I take a “Sister Trip” every year and last weekend we went to Dallas for the Dallas Quilt Guild Quilt Show.  They apparently have a big active membership because their show is the…
