How Do Scissors Disappear? Discovery Edition
I’ve been working on memory quilts for a former student who now has two sweet little boys who outgrew their baby-t0-4T tees. When she asked me to make the quilts, I almost said no. But, well, you can read that article HERE if you need to catch up. After Jude’s quilt fiasco, I wrapped it
On to Bigger and Better — Quilting
Now that the kitchen is almost complete–the countertops need work–we have mostly been trying to stay cool. Like everyone else, we’re under some “heat bubble” and dealing with 100+ temps. The ONLY thing to do is stay inside as much as possible. And pray that the electricity doesn’t go out. What better way to be
Are You Up to the Challenge? They Asked
One more post on the Baton Rouge Modern Quilt Guild’s summer retreat. We held the meeting at the retreat house on Saturday afternoon and a few members who were not on retreat came over. It was so good to see them. Here’s the link to the round robin blocks that I wrote about right after
How to Eat Well on Retreat!
Okay, remember, I’m from Louisiana. Eating “well” doesn’t necessarily mean eating what is good. It mostly means eating too much of what you already eat too much. Does that make sense? Sure, it does. In Louisiana, anyway. We ate tacos. And we had spaghetti. We had Greek (though I’m not sure what it was, exactly).
Round Robin Updates That Will Impress You
You may remember that every year my Modern Quilt Guild works on round robin blocks for interested members. I participate almost every year. Last year I especially enjoyed the outcome of this challenge, thanks to the Paris cats. However, getting to the end of any challenge can be more difficult than one might think. Of
Begining Again and Again
Yes, I started two quilts on the same day. There’s a story, of course. Remember that I worked at St. Mary’s last year? Well, that sweet little job cost my time going to the Cotton Quilters’ meetings. Every one. C’est la vie. Not going, however, meant that I fell behind the monthy block challenge. Now,
Citrus Sherbert ~~ a finish!
My latest finish is titled “Citrus Sherbert.” I wrote about my process of creating the quilt here. I did not, however, write about or show the finished quilt, so it’s time. Ready for photos? It’s a relatively small quilt at 50″ X 50″, but I don’t make many queen-size quilts. Rich and I gave each
Sweet Friends with Sweet Ideas and Sweet Fabrics
A while back my friends with the Cotton Quilter’s Guild went on a road trip to Mangham, La. They apparently spent quite some time at the local quilt shop, called Stitched in Faith. We’ve been before and I would have raced to get on that van but, alas, I was teaching middle schoolers. They’re less

Quilts, Cleaning, and Sunshine — a Good Combination
When you have awfully hot, sunny, dry weather there’s not much a person can do. Temperatures of 90+ that feels like 110 are not a playground for the faint of heart. While everyone around us got 2-6 inches of rain last week, we joke that we can count the raindrops. Well, I took advantage of
