Did you read Peter Rabbit when you were a child or to your children? Do you enjoy the stories of Beatrix Potter? Her tales have been among favorite children’s stories for decades.
Now Beatrix Potter, with Peter Rabbit and his friends, are influencing quiltmakers. At the Snow River Quilts web site I discovered the delightful Garden […]
In northern climates, we’ve been experiencing colder weather and snow. So as February reaches the mid-mark, our thoughts begin to turn to” spring and flowers and sun.

This week, you’ll find one for “Raspberry Pretzel Squares,” which looks delicious […]
Sometimes a very helpful gadget can be very simple, so simple that we don’t even consider it. I was browsing through the new autumn Keepsake Quilting catalog(www.keepsakequilting.com ) my daughter received, and saw…Glow-in-the-Dark Pins!
That’s what we need around here, I thought. With three quilters in the family (my daughter, granddaughter, and me), our menfolk continually […]
The challenge of a quilt challenge intrigues many quilters. These may involve full size quilts, lap quilts, wall hangings, or other types of fabric art. My daughter had become involved with a number of challenges within online groups she belongs to. You’ll also find challenges sponsored by quilt shops, quilt guilds, and quilt shows.
These generally […]
As you plan your travels this summer, why not include quilt shows and shops? I’ve often done this when my family traveled and found people and places we all enjoyed. We also included quilt museums on our agenda.
