I love to work on slow stitching projects on Sundays. It’s usually a lazy day around here after church, playing in the yard or watching a football or baseball game, depending on the season.

I have wanted to do something truly scrappy for a while now and have been hoarding tiny strips and bits of fabric for the last few years. I…… Continue reading Scrappy Spider Webs
I finally finished it. Well, number one of two anyway. I started these quilts over two years ago, when I just started quilting. The pattern is called “turning twenty” and uses fat quarters. The piecing went really quickly, but when I started quilting this first one, it wasn’t turning out how I wanted and I…… Continue reading Turning Twenty-One
