In a just under one week we will be welcoming grandbaby number 8! We are so blessed to have so many little one’s in our family. As soon as I found out the baby was going to be a boy, I begin thinking about the quilt I would make for him. About two years agoContinue reading “Little Ducklings Quilt”

Halloween Quilt
Although I am a huge lover of fall, especially the month of October, Halloween has never been a favorite day of mine. I think it goes back to the days when my girls were little, having spent a hard day at work, then needing to rush home (in the dark no less) trying to getContinue reading “Halloween Quilt”
Two pre-cut fabric quilts and my favorite quilt so far.
Last January I discovered a new quilt shop here in Kansas City, KC Maker Studio, that was having on-line quilt classes during the pandemic. The series of classes available on Saturday mornings introduced the different types of pre-cut fabrics and patterns that could be used with them. For a nominal fee, I was provided withContinue reading “Two pre-cut fabric quilts and my favorite quilt so far.”
Texas Flag Quilt
My first grandson who just turned seven is a born and bred Texan. Besides his two bicycles and legos, he loves his cowboy boots, goes to the Rodeo each year and has even participated in a mutton busting event. Several months ago Levi told me his baby blanket that I made for him was tooContinue reading “Texas Flag Quilt”
The Easiest Bread You Will Ever Make
My mom loved to bake bread. Every Sunday we would have either a loaf of homemade bread, cloverleaf rolls, cinnamon rolls or my favorite, cinnamon bread. She never used a recipe, just magically produced those delightful treats off the top of her head. When I became an adult I made her come to my houseContinue reading “The Easiest Bread You Will Ever Make”

Here are a couple of my best sellers: Although I have a few dish towels in the shop already, this fall I decided to add some seasonal dish towels, or teaContinue reading “New Fall Items”
Buffalo Check Quilt
I have been a fan of buffalo check for many years, long before it became a popular modern farmhouse staple. At least two master bedroom decors ago, I had a black and white buffalo check duvet made. That was long before we took pictures of everything we made, or ate or every place we visitedContinue reading “Buffalo Check Quilt”
An Obsession and a New Adventure!
Last fall when I was facing surgery and knew I would be laying low for about 12 weeks to recover, I decided to purchase a new sewing/embroidery machine. Since I already own two sewing machines I really purchased it more for the embroidery capabilities than anything else……..except for that self-threading needle!!!! Pretty sure I decidedContinue reading “An Obsession and a New Adventure!”
Quilts for the Triplets
As many of you know I have been blessed to be a grandmother to six adorable children, three of which are seventeen-month old triplets. They are so darn cute and so fun now that they are toddling around but I might be a little biased. I have made all my grandchildren handmade quilts when theyContinue reading “Quilts for the Triplets”
Strip Quilt
Before my grand daughter Aria was born I made her a gender neutral quilt because her parents chose not to find out if they were having a boy or girl. My daughter Kayla decorated the nursery with a cute mint/gray color scheme that I matched for Aria’s quilt. You can read about that quilt here. InfantsContinue reading “Strip Quilt”
