This past winter/spring I was the helper teacher of the 4th Grade St. Thomas CCD class. During lent we decided to work on a service project – a quilt. We had the kids each draw a cross onto a sheet of paper. Then, they had to answer quiz questions about the Ten Commandments to figure […]
Triple Trouble Bonus Challenge Winner!
It’s about time I get around to drawing the winner of the Bonus Triple Trouble Project QUILTING Challenge! It’s been a bit crazy around here…with my birthday and all… but I won’t make you wait much longer. Before we get to the winner…what are the prizes again!?

Triangle of Spools Block Tutorial: 52 Twisted Tradition Block Quilt Along
I’m a little delayed today getting the tutorial posted for the 52 Blocks Twisted Traditional Quilt Along! Sorry about that – but I am at least getting it posted on Wednesday! It’s a pretty simple block this week but fabric selection, once again, makes all the difference in what you ‘see’ when you look at […]
On the Line–Project QUILTING Triple Trouble Bonus Challenge
We were to purchase a mystery bundle, use what was given to us in a recognizable amount in the front of the quilt AND incorporate three nine patches, three stars, and one other traditional block – and make a quilt! A bit of a challenge. I’ll admit. It took me awhile to figure out what […]
Madison Modern Quilt Guild April Lotto Block

Gypsy Wife
I had posted jokingly that I wanted this pattern, “Gypsy Wife” and then hinted that my birthday was coming up…well…to my huge surprise, my friend, Erin Zee, bought it and sent it to me for my birthday! How cool is that!?!!! This is the pattern Gypsy Wife by Jen Caldwell. I’m sure you can tell […]
A New Teacher in Town
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t think I’m the best at teaching. Many times I do the things I do because the fabric, pattern, or embellishments “talk” to me which can be hard to relay to others. But, when my friend Kristina asked me if I would teach her how to paper […]
