Once again I have another busy month – which includes a six day trip down to Houston for the International Quilt Festival! I cannot wait! So – again, I’m going to keep my ‘A Lovely Year of Finishes’ goals pretty low key. It’s just going to be to keep working on blocks. My official goal […]

Make it A Mini Challenge Winners
Sorry once again for the delay in announcing the winners. The end of our weeks’ at the orchard can be a bit nuts with the cider pressing, caramel apple dipping and apple cider donut frying we have to do before the weekend begins. Luckily (well – in some ways) Pip had a fever yesterday morning […]

X Mark–Fresh Mini Quilt Club
I finished the July Fresh Mini Quilt Top – X Mark! I only used THREE fabrics for this one! Just three! Not scrappy at all – and I followed the pattern. It was fun playing with a more neutral color palette for this one. This purple ring fabric was the most exciting of the bunch. […]
