Read MoreWow, I haven’t done a blog since January. I figured I would share the latest baby quilts I made. The first one is for my new great nephew who lives in Maine and the one on the right is the one I made for my granddaughter. Her due date has been moved up to April…
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 MoreYou would think that having grown up in Louisiana, though at the opposite end of the state from New Orleans, I would know a little about Mardi Gras. Basically, all I ever knew was that it was a very big celebration held every year in New Orleans and also celebrated in some other cities. And…
Read MoreQuilters love to share their love of quilting with others and teach them how to piece quilts. I made my first quilt when I was nine years old, so it was appropriate that my granddaughter do the same. I handed her two sets of five inch squares, otherwise known as charm packs, and let her…
Read MoreIt’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone. 2017 won’t be my favorite year ever due to the flooding from Hurricane Harvey, but it certainly could have been a lot worse. We were blessed to get our house back in order in time for the holidays while many of our fellow Texans…

Read MoreMy customers sometimes bring inspiration and new ideas. I had never thought to “frame” baby clothes squares like my Framed T-Shirt Quilts, but a customer came to me asking me to do just that. By “frames”, I mean that I put a narrow one-inch border around each square before adding the sashing that separates the…
Read MoreIt seems I’m in the stage of life where I have a lot of special occasions that call for me to make a gift quilt. This particular one is for one of my nieces who is very dear to my heart. She lives in Maine, so I don’t get to see her often anymore, but…
Read MoreI was recently asked to make a quilt from military uniforms. This particular quilt happens to be a memory quilt for a deceased Air Force sergeant, but it occurred to me that any retired military man or woman ends up with fatigues and dress uniforms that they don’t know what to do with. Well, how…
Read MoreThe West Houston Quilter’s Guild quilt show was held in early March and as mentioned in a previous post, I entered four quilts. My purple and black challenge quilt that I pictured in a previous post did not win a ribbon, but it came in third when the guild members voted on their favorites. It’s…
Read MoreI took a trip to San Antonio this past weekend with one of my quilting friends, Linda Minton. She actually lives in San Antonio, but we rented a hotel room on the famous Riverwalk so we could both have a little get-away. We visited five quilt shops, some of which I’ll be writing about in…
