Saturday, February 15, 2014. The Modern Quilt Guild hosted a fabric challenge where they sent each member a selection of Riley Blake Fabrics and we all got to make something quilty of our choice. My local guild decided to make their own rule as well that you had to learn a new skill or practice a skill you aren't comfortable with. So here's what I made, it's just a little mini quilt. So you may be wondering what new skill I was practicing well I did all the piecing in my new to me Singer treadle! So I no...

I recently took this quilt for the show and tell portion of our guild meeting and I thought I would post it here, this one is kinda long but I wanted to get down the whole story of this quilt.

Without a doubt, I absolutely loved living along the coast of central Florida when my children were babies and toddlers. One duty station, Bill did on his own. There were many places we hadn't been ...

The best things in life aren't things. They're living and breathing. The best things in life aren't things. They're something you can believe in. (Michael Franti). Friday, March 29, 2013.

However, I've always known, if "always" is defined at age nine, that I had another sister, an older sister, who had been placed for adoption at birth. The Hayes Girls 1968 or 1969. Tracy, Cindy, Julie. Peggy and Richard - Vows.

I immediately grabbed my water soluble marker. Along with my 8' straight edge, and traced what I saw. Instead of dense straight line quilti...
