    3 years later

    I’ve had my Brother 6800PRW for 3 years now and I love LOVE love it! I’ve made big quilts, little quilts, fun quilts, normal quilts, I have used, used used it! But one of the main features about the machine I wanted was the embroidery part – there’s been quilts I could have embroidered but ….. I didn’t know how to use it  =( So this year for Christmas, I asked for a couple Accuquilt dies and a class to learn how to use the embroidery part of my machine. I even FOUND the class AND signed up for it!! But there was a delay with the class in December,…

    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!

    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…
