As I was checking out Katelyn’s post, Gift Tags From Scraps, over at Stamping Mad, I was stuck with the idea, “What about using fabric scraps from our quilting? These would make neat patchwork gift tags.”
So often, techniques for one type of art or craft can be utilized in another. Also, you could combine paper scraps […]
Making quilts, lap or baby size, for worthy causes occupies many quilters, either singly or in groups. Also school children often become involved in class projects that result in quilts for babies and youngsters in hospitals. I’ve often helped the sixth graders in our school when they put their creations together.
Recently I read of a […]
Cathy, at Tangled Thread, has a nice suggestion for a last minute Christmas gift for sewers, quilters, embroiderers, etc. She pictures a collection of sewing gadgets, scissors, pin cushion and more.
What would quilters and fabric artists like?
*scissors
*pin cushions
*assorted basting pins with colored heads
*unique threads
*rotary cutters & extra blades
*assorted unique threads
*fat quarters
*quilting videos & DVDs

My daughter seeks out quilting calendars and particularly likes the one produced by Quilting Arts magazine. She also entered their contest this year for calendar selection. Her fabric art entry was one of the 30 selected in the first selection. We all were thrilled even though she didn’t make the final 13 used for the 2007 […]
Even though it’s only October, it’s probably time to start making your quilted and patchwork Christmas gifts….if you haven’t already begun them. I’ve noticed, as I’ve browsed the online quilt fabric stores, many are offering sales on quilting supplies. Your favorite “brick-and-mortar” store probably has sales, gift ideas, perhaps even classes for making these.
There are […]
Many quilters nowadays are creating smaller projects, like wall hangings, postcards, mini quilts, and framed fabric art. Fabric and fiber artists often seem to be getting away from the larger bed quilts.
However, as I think about it, the small quilts aren’t entirely new. My grandmother made quilts for my sister’s and my dolls. She took […]
My daughter made quilts for both of her grandmothers to comfort them in nursing homes. And they were very different quilts to meet the needs of each grandmother.
My mother had Alzheimer’s so didn’t really notice the pattern. My mother-in-law wanted a small quilt to hang on a particular wall in her suite.
So we decided Mother would enjoy […]
Even though not all soccer and World Cup fans are men, you may be looking for quilt and patchwork ideas and patterns for the sports-minded men and boys in your life. These may include quilts, wall hangings, and pillows. Perhaps you’ll even want to make a soccer theme vest.

Today at a graduation party for a friend’s son, we saw a quilt that captivated my 11-year old grandson and interested me, too. This was a gift made for the graduate of fleece fabrics and personalized with fire fighter designs.
He’s been involved in a fire fighting program for young people since he was 14-years old, […]
