It makes my heart sing when someone requests one of my quilts. It is especially touching when it is a single guy making the request. So I was very happy to make a quilt for my daughter-in-law’s brother when he…
Pinwheel Quilt Progress
This pinwheel quilt has been a bit of a struggle from the start. I really wanted 8″ blocks but the frame wouldn’t easily work with that size so I had to go with 12″. It ended up bigger than I…
Pinwheel Baby Quilt: Week 10 Friday Finish
It was tough to finish a quilt this week since I was traveling, but this Pinwheel baby quilt came in just under the wire. It was small and only needed a binding so it was the top candidate when I needed…
