Oh How I Love A Longarm!
If you’ve ever wondered what a Longarm sewing machine is, well, here’s your chance! The quilt back is placed on these roller things and the batting is added on top of that, then the top of the quilt is added on top of that. Simple enough, right? It looks a little like this ^ Lying the quilt on this frame allows me to sew all the area’s in the 17 inches the neck of the machine can reach. If I was a great freeform drawer, I could use the handles and make all sort of designs to make my quilts even prettier. But as luck would have it, I’m not…

2016
This year has been 365 days of a roller coaster. While I love roller coasters, there’s reasons they are usually a couple minutes long and not 24 hours. So while there’s been many ups and downs this year, there has also been a great deal of therapy done as well! And by therapy, I mean sewing, because we all know …. yeah. You know how sometimes when you’re knee deep in a project and then once the project is over, you’re like “so what did I do with my time when I wasn’t doing this project again?!?” no? just me? ok =) Here are the quilts I’ve completed this year.…

Miscellaneous Quilts
Sitting in my living room minding my own business for once when a cousin was at the state fair and text me a picture of a quilt with the infamous words . . . . “hey! Would you make this quilt for me?” I’ve never seen this quilt or this pattern before IN MY LIFE. So what did I respond? Uh, Sure! After studying the picture a couple dozen times and figuring out what size she wanted the quilt to be, I sent her a materials list and Wah-lah! A quilt was born! Since then, I’ve made this same quilt pattern a couple of times with a little modification here and…

T-Shirt Quilts
When I first started out, I was making Log Cabin quilts for my kids. And as usual, our middle child did not conform to the norm. I should have named her Norm, but instead, we named her Aud, which has proven very . . . . . appropriate. Anywho, she wanted me to make her a t-shirt quilt and I said . . . .uh, sure! I didn’t even KNOW what a t-shirt quilt was but thought, what the heck, I’ll give it a shot. Since then, I’ve done multiple t-shirt quilts and now I can practically do them in my sleep! Here’s a gallery of some I’ve made! Enjoy!

Log Cabin Quilts
The very first quilts I ever made were Log Cabin quilts. I was astonished at the response others had when they saw my first quilt! I had NO CLUE what a Log Cabin quilt was and what they intended with the pattern. The specs the teacher gave me was buy 3 dark patterns and 3 light patterns, borders, etc. I believe their exact words were “the bolder the pattern the better!” That was like music to my ears! So I picked some great patterns and went to class! Class (Quilt 101) was four separate Monday nights. Just by the name of the class, Quilt 101, I assumed this was a…
