So far I’ve gotten a lot of positive feed back on my ‘closer look’ posts.  I think this a great way to get the story behind each quilt without feeling so overwhelmed on the flickr group – I mean we did ONLY have 33 entries this past week!  Let me know what you think of […]

Yeah!  It’s time for Block 2 of the Home Sweet Home Quilt Along.  Before we get to it though, I want to share with you a little about the designer, Diane Lapacek. What is your crafting style? Quilting and fabric dyeing are my passions. How did you get started creating? I learned to sew in […]

I realized that I’ve been ignoring the upcoming ‘Home Sweet Home’ Quilt Along (starting this TUESDAY 1/17!).  I haven’t meant to but as many know – not only was this week the first week of Project Quilting – but it’s also January which means – get your taxes together and pay sales tax.  That, along […]
