My maternal grandmother, Nanny, taught me the first rudiments about sewing and quilting when I was 6-8 years old. Our first sewing sessions together consisted of […]

Jennifer, in a comment on my fun post about baby turtles, Something Fun for Quilters, mentioned that her best friend likes and collects turtles.

As I browsed around Jen’s so you wannabee a Domestik Goddess? blog I discovered a number of free quilt patterns.
Anna Maria Horner’s inner gypsy had to have been at play when she designed her 22 Lollipops Quilt and Bohemium Quilt - and the fabric collections that inspired them, too, mentions Jen.
The fabrics in the quilts shown […]
My daughter had an enjoyable day today painting and sun dyeing fabric for her quilting and fabric art. Beth started with fabric she’d previously dyed. Today she incorporated items from nature, ferns and leaves, for the designs on the fabrics below as she used sun dyeing and painting techniques. She said she eventually may do some stamping […]
