Look who’s here: Kimberly came to visit last week, and we had a blast! We quilted (a little), shopped (a bit), ate (lunch and pastries), and gabbed (a lot)!

Life is funny sometimes. Since my friend Dawn left nearly three years ago, there hasn’t really been anyone close by that I hang out with or quilt with regularly. During one of our last outings just before she moved, we joked that I should put an ad in the paper for a new best friend, [...]

I’ve been bitten by this bug that carries this highly contagious disease for which there is no known cure, and the only symptomatic relief available is to make more and more tiny little works of art. I have seen these little Inchies around the Internet, and heard about them from quilting friends, but until now, [...]

I’m sure that I’m totally behind all of you quilters who live in the States, since your LQS probably had this book quite some time ago (like years, right?), but I finally got my hands on this book! Help! I Married a Quilter by Mark Hyland is a hilarious look at The Quilter’s life from [...]
