I recently entered two quilts in the local quilt show in Henderson, Nevada. I wasn’t sure how I would do because it was a big show with lots of amazing entries. Why did I torture myself and enter a show to be judged by others? I want to share my quilts and inspire others. I also want to learn how […]

I did it! I finished the quilting on my Star Quilt. I wish it was 100% finished but I still need to do the binding…my least favorite part. I have some pictures to share but please keep in mind they aren’t the best. It was super windy today so getting outdoor pictures was a bit of

I think I’m starting to have a pretty bad track record for blogging. I’m not sure what’s going on with me lately but my blogging brain is not functioning properly. It could be the recent passing of my grandmother or the fact that we went home to Missouri for Christmas and our car’s engine blew up. Yes,
