Taping the Quilt Show
Taping the Quilt Show Back in March of this year I was able to cross off one of the top items on my bucket list! I got to tape an episode of The Quilt Show with Ricky and Alex. I was actually supposed to tape back in 2020, but as with a lot of things, […]
Adventures in Quilted Garments
Adventures in Quilted Garments I decided recently that it had been too long since I made something for myself and that I would make a quilted garment.

How to get a quilter to run a 12K
As a quilter, I’m supposed to blog about quilting stuff, right? and I will. I promise. But first, I want to talk a little bit about my mother. My mom just turned 69. She’s 5’2″ and 110 pounds soaking wet. Doesn’t sound like she would be a runner, but she is. She ran her first […]
