This week’s Friday Finish is The Neighborhood Quilt. This was a quick and easy quilt and I just love how it turned out. The pattern is “The Neighborhood” (of course!) by Villa Rosa Designs. You can find the pattern here…
Current WIP: Violet Quilt A Long
Oh, how I love a quilt-a-long. Maybe it’s because I want to make every quilt in the world, maybe I need the motivation of a schedule or maybe it’s just FOMO, I have a hard time scrolling past a QAL….
Stars Around the Garden July OMG Finish
Stars Around the Garden is a big quilt but somehow I managed to finish it this month. The One Monthly Goal challenge really motivates me to finish something every month. There is no penalty if you don’t meet your goal,…
Monday Motivation: Make a List
I LOVE lists. It is so satisfying to see things written down in an orderly fashion and even better to check things off when they are completed. When I feel anxious and overwhelmed I make a list. I have lists…
Friday Finish Flutterby
Another week and another UFO completed. This time it is Flutterby, a pattern by Villa Rosa Designs. I’m pretty sure, though, I did not follow the pattern and just made up the sizes to fit my fabric. Most of the…
Friday Finish Sunny Skies Quilt
What could be more appropriate than a Sunny Skies Quilt on a hot, sunny July day? I started this quilt a couple of years ago and finally put it together earlier this year. I am an avid fan of Women’s…

Monday Motivation: Good Fortune Mystery Quilt
Probably every quilter on the planet knows that Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville hosts a free mystery quilt every year starting on Black Friday. The 2018 mystery was the Good Fortune Quilt. Since we host Thanksgiving, I usually don’t participate. This…
Another Month, Another Goal: Ocean Waves Quilt
Yesterday I finally had the chance to look through my UFO bins and found this Ocean Waves top. It is a great candidate for the OMG challenge this month because I can quilt straight lines on my Juki. It’s not…
November OMG Tula Pink City Sampler
Good thing I didn’t set a goal for October because I wouldn’t have reached it, AGAIN. September’s OMG still isn’t finished! The past two months have just been terrible for quilting productivity. Today is November 1, a brand new month,…
The Kittens: Quilted, Bound and Delivered
A couple times a year Olive Juice Quilts in La Crosse holds a shop retreat. Since my daughter was living there, it was easy for me to drive over for the weekend and we always had a good time. Not…
100 Days 100 Blocks 2018
Last year I participated in the 100 Days 100 Blocks Instagram challenge and it was so much fun I’m participating again this year. I love the 2017 quilt (take a look here). I don’t often make the same quilt twice….
