Hexy Table Runner: I finally finished sewing together all the hexies for my table runner and I am in the process of quilting it. I chose one of the fabrics on the front of the quilt for the backing because it has a great pattern to quilt from the back of the quilt with a… Read More
If anything, I am persistent! I just can’t stop thinking about this quilt. I finally realized what I was doing wrong with my piecing. After my English Paper Piecing class at the Gainesville Modern Quilt Guild meeting last Wednesday, I got this brilliant idea that I could piece this quilt in the EPP method. I… Read More
I need to work this weekend, but I am still managing to squeeze in a little time for sewing to keep my sanity. I thought I would knock out a short post to show you what I am working on. First, I am continuing to get a little hand sewing done with my “Get Your… Read More
Wow! Life gets in the way sometimes. I can’t believe it has been months since I have done a post. Since the last time I posted, work continued to be hectic with understaffing. That improved in January when we hired a great gal, Lisa to help with our “Virtual Back Office” work and she also sews!… Read More

The Jacksonville Modern Quilt Guild has volunteered to assist the Boston Modern Quilt Guild with the comfort quilt project for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. The BMQG has received blocks from all over the world for this project. Yvonne, a member of both guilds (Jacksonville and Boston) brought back 80 blocks and she has been… Read More

I haven’t done English Paper Piecing for a time, so there was a little learning curve getting back into the process. The first month was this short of wonky flower shape. I received… Read More
