So, you better buckle up because I have quite the story to tell with this quilt.  Let's just say I will never have, in fact I do not have anymore deadline quilts! Just too stressful! Seriously.

So, this pattern is The Butterfly Quilt by Tula Pink.  I am a huge fan of Tula Pink, she is super talented and I was really excited to get a chance to quilt this particular quilt made by Linda from Canada....

 

I have never entered any of my own quilts into an AQS Quiltweek competition before now.  I decided that since I will be in Paducah already that I might as well try it out, what would it hurt?  I wanted to go with my Just Call Me Modernquilt. It's one of my favorite quilts that I have designed. So I was really happy when I received an email saying that my quilt was accepted to be judged for the...

This may be a world record for me because I have finished another quilt after finishing one just last week.  I have some deadlines coming up - and some family getaways that need to all mesh together to make it so I get everything done in time.  Anyway, trying to get all I can finished so I don't get too stressed out - yeah, that's funny ;-)  So, this quilt.  It's super cute, right?

Joette made this...

Hi everyone! So glad you are still around this blog, I hope ;-) If you have been following me on Instagram and Facebook, you would know that I have finished this beautiful quilt made by Barbara. I know that this pattern is a Pam Bono design, and a Block of the Month - but I haven't been able to find it online and I can not pull up PamBonoDesigns.com. I do know that Pam Bono passed away last year,...

So, a big thank you to all of you who entered our giveaway.  I am so happy to see the excitement with all the new lines of fabric added to our shop.  But really, who doesn't love fabric? So, I will just get to it - the winner, chosen by random.org - was JanAngel55 - congratulations!  You have won a Fresh Air fat quarter bundle. I will get that sent out asap.  Thanks so much!  Enjoy!

Okay, so you...

So, I had major plans for the new year as far as getting healthy again.  Seriously. Last year I lost 15 pounds in the first month of running - then I let myself go and gain 20 pounds back on.  I think it was a combination of my first year of teaching and the lack of time I felt I had.  Priorities though, right? Oh, also - I like food. 

So, for Christmas Clint bought me rollerblades. I was a kid...

I worked on this beautiful quilt called "Eclipse" by Sharon McConnell last July.  I wasn't able to share it because it was being published in a magazine in the UK called Quilt Now. It is always fun to work on beautiful quilts, especially this one. I had a lot of fun with it. Sharon asked me to keep the quilting simple and I did. The quilt design is...

So, I always have this feeling of guilt when I look at the date of my last post on this blog. As good as my intentions are at keeping up with my blog, it seems like time is moving so fast. It has been a fabulous December. Really. I happen to love my tree - call me a little crazy detailed though, there are a ton of ornaments on this tree. So much so, that recently the stand broke and Clint had to...

 

Okay, first things first.  I had a happy mail day this week when I received my copy of Patchwork Professional. I was asked a few months ago if I would like to be featured in their magazine. Of course I would!  It's a beautiful magazine and they did a fabulous job with the article.  Now, I just need to brush up on my German to read it. ;-)  The title of the article is Judi Madsen - The Queen of...
