I belong to the Music City Modern Quilt Guild. A few meetings back we had a how to sew hexagons workshop. We were all making a preplanned project. As usual, I had my own ideas. After finishing the Jolene quilt top, I wanted to take a break from handwork. I’m away from my sewing machineContinue reading “Quilting While Away”

I have finally finished my Jolene quilt top. It’s ready to be quilted. I’m a little nervous about how I’m going to quilt it. Sometimes making things can be scary. I think I’m going to do a simple diagonal grid.  Hopefully I can finish it in time to enter it into the Tennessee State Fair.

I finished this one today. A quilt becomes a part of you when you working on it. The front side is a narrative about Leslie. She is in a magic garden with her cat. It’s a garden where love grows. Her house is on the back of the quilt. She lives there with her family.Continue reading “LOVE”

I haven’t posted on the blog lately. I’ve been busy with holiday stuff, and neither of the two projects I’m working on, are ready for sharing. I’m sharing this image because I’ve had a few friends interested in seeing how the quilt comes together. The timing has been off to show them in person. BeforeContinue reading “How to Put the Quilt Together”
