Today I am going out on the road to visit some quilt shops. I know, tough job, but this is just one of the reasons why I love my job! In anticipation of spring, I have been kitting up these little beauties from the Watercolor Blossoms kit. I just love the colors and how…

A Very Good Day!
This morning we woke up in Bedford IN, and headed to our first quilt shop of the day, the Indiana Quilt Depot. The shop was not open, so again, I stuck a card in the door and we were all ready to move on when we saw movement inside the shop. I am so glad…
A Wall Quilt to Dye For!
I know how I want this quilt to look. I have been looking for fabrics, and as far as I can tell, they have not been made yet. So I will dye fabric!
We Are Blossoming!

Color Palette Inspiration from Nature for Quilting
Why look to nature for color palette inspiration? Heaven is declaring God’s glory; the sky is proclaiming his handiwork. Psalms 19: 1 When I first started quilting, most of the quilting fabrics were “calicos” and solids. There were few “quilt” shops (I don’t think I saw a single one until I was well into quilting…
The Journey Does Indeed Begin!
He refreshes my soul. He guides me along paths for his name’s sake. Psalm 23:3 Retirement… A time to step back, relax, take life easy. That is what we like to think the definition is, but is it? Or is it a clean slate to start doing that which you have been building within your…
