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 have made a commitment to get some WIPs finished before I move on to new projects. While I always have a backlog of UFOs, I am happy to say that I have finished a few things. But first, I wanted to show you the fabric I snagged at JoAnn’s at 55% off. It is… 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

Like I don’t have a million projects already, I picked up another one at the Gainesville Modern Quilt Guild meeting Wednesday night! For a recap of the meeting, here is Mia’s second quilt top. What a great job she did, it looks like plaid. Brigit shared a few of her small quilts. Her style is… Read More
I just wanted to share what I am working on. I am bad about waiting until I finish a project to share it. So here is my Quilt for Boston quilt that I just layered and started quilting. It has lots of negative space and I am quilting in a zigzag every 3/8″. I’m not… Read More

I had entered my quilt “Winter Palace” after a call from the Gainesville Modern Quilters to enter some modern quilts in the show. My quilt was one of three modern quilts in the show and… Read More
