DreamWeaver's Quilts Quilt Epiphany Weblog

By way of a little “touching base/checking in” type post, I find myself in an interesting place at the moment, both literally and figuratively: Augusta is an interesting place. So far, we really like it here, high pollen counts and high temperatures notwithstanding. We’re not actually in Augusta, but in a smaller town just outside [...]

Here’s a little peek at a new quilt I’m designing: Mmmmm, green. If I had to choose a favorite color, it would have to be green. I love, love, LOVE greens! And I had such fun just pulling these few fabrics together, some from my stash, some from the quilt shop, and some I ordered [...]
