International Quilt Festival – Chicago
My Quiltsy team has been patiently waiting for me to show pictures from my adventure to the International Quilt Festival in Chicago that I went to on Friday. We had to be on the bus bright and early at 6:45. It’s been a while since I’ve had an early ‘be-there’ time but it actually went […]
Aunt Kaitra Visits
Earlier this month Aunt Kaitra (aka one of my best friend’s since High School) headed over to the Poynette area for a visit. We had a great day enjoying the BEST EVER Cheese Curds at the Old Fashioned and then doing a little shopping on State Street. After our fun ‘girls’ afternoon we went and […]

I just took a peak around euphrianchic’s shop and all I can say is WOW! Some truly, truly amazing […]
Project Quilting – Shoofly questions answered
Hi Everybody, There have been a few questions, so I thought I’d address them here. (Sorry I didn’t jump in sooner here, but it’s beautiful today and my greenhouse was calling.) 1. The stripe can go anywhere you want on the front of the quilt….border, binding, blocks, background……your choice. Just use a stripe. 2. No […]
