Quilted Window


This is what hangs on the wall over my desk. Jeff had some old wooden windows and I glued in some OLD hand pieced squares that someone gave me. When you look closely you can see the uneven seams and how the stitches are loose, but oh how I love it. Today quilting is so much like a math/art project. When these squares were made there was no rotary cutter and twenty different rulers to choose from, nor were there sewing machine that you have to have a degree to understand how to use. I love modern technology, I LOVE my rotary cutter and rulers, perhaps that is why I truly appreciate a square (even more so a whole quilt) that has been hand cut and pieced together!

Quilting Blogs

This year I am president our Quilter's Guild which has made it even more difficult for me to find time to actually QUILT! I have 4 quilt tops pieced together...waiting for quilting. Maybe next week?

Sew Mama Sew is hosting a Quilting month during Feb. I LOVE this blog! Lots of great ideas!

I also LOVE Niki's blog. Very inspiring.
