There are stories to tell....

Quilts are more than wall hangings , covers or blankets. They tell the story of the people, and the times in which they were made.

 Quilts keep us warm on a chilly night and decorate our homes. Just as a child draws a picture, we make quilts. We are forever, that child within...

Peppermint Candy



My sewing room, like that of many other quilters, has baskets or zip lock bags of little pieces for  projects not yet started…this on top of the many unfinished projects hidden behind a cabinet door.
My latest little collection consists of half square triangles cut from strip tubes of Christmas fabrics (good way to use up a lot of Christmas remnants) and then sewn into little 5” finished pinwheel units.
I had a lot of fun putting these three quilts together last winter. The holidays to me are best enjoyed listening to Christmas music and sewing with Christmas fabrics. Snow flurries outside the window only enhance the experience.
