Quilting Retreat 2019 Is Over
Here I share all the projects I finished at quilt retreat this year and also where we held our retreat.

Foot surgery
I had foot surgery a week ago (April 10th, 2019) and at times I wonder what I was thinking because it is painful. But then I remember the benefits of having a foot that actually fits in a shoe without pain. They removed a joint out of my second toe and fused it together (I …
New year 2019
I still can’t believe it is January 2019, where did 2018 go? I just got home from 2 weeks in Missouri visiting family, those grand-kids are growing up so fast. I finished a quilt for my oldest grandson so that I could give it to him for Christmas. It was from the book Civil War …

Pieced Backing

Organization at the longarm
For those of us who don’t have a computer and use pantographs here is my solution to organizing them. I purchased 2 Ikea Alex cabinets for thread and pantograph storage but still found I was searching each drawer to find a specific pantograph. I also use Machine Quilters Business Manager and I have images of …
Vintage sewing machine wall sconce
