Making Memories Through Quilts
This is a quilt top I purchased on eBay for about $10. I bought it with the idea of using it to practice quilting on my quilting machine – which I did. However, I did add the outside borders first since it was SO… Continue Reading “Week 12 – May 6 – 12, 2012 – Finish That Quilt”
Oh, what a wonderful project this is. These little bags are easily constructed and then filled with regular rice. Heated in the microwave for just a minute or two then placed where needed to provide comfort. Use as you would a regular heating pad… Continue Reading “Week 11– April 29 – May 5, 2012 – Rice Heading Pad”
These cute little air fresheners are the easiest and most fun to make. Using a couple of 5” charm squares, a piece of tulle (wedding netting), a piece of ribbon, and your favorite smelling potpourri, you can whip these up in just a few… Continue Reading “Week 10 – April 22 – 28, 2012 – Potpourri Air”
Look another pillow! What can I say, I like pillows. Although I’m not one of those women who likes 15 pillows on my bed, but when I want a pillow I like to have them handy. This one is especially nice to have on… Continue Reading “Week 9 – April 15 – 21, 2012 – Bone Neck Pillow”
I may be back, but I’m not sure where all my stuff is. We moved from Wanamaker, IN to New Palestine, IN. Although that’s only about 8 miles away – moving is moving. We were in that house for over 25 years and in… Continue Reading “I’m back …”

I’ve been so busy lately I think my head is going to spin clean off my shoulders! Although I can’t tell you at this time just what I’ve been busy doing, but when I do – it’ll be awesome! I’ll let you know in… Continue Reading “Miss Me?”
I took an all day class on how to do maintenance on my Gammill Classic quilting machine and it was amazing! If you don’t have a long arm quilting machine think of it like this… I learned how to tune up my car myself… Continue Reading “Week 5 – March 18 – 24, 2012 – Finish That Quilt”
This is a pattern from Easy Quilts, Summer 2012, that was really fun to make. And yes, it was easy. First of all it’s only 12” x 12” and uses just a little bit of fabric. What a great way to use up some… Continue Reading “Week 4 – March 11-17, 2012 – All Around the Square”
