February Block Lotto – Valentine Bouquet
I am writing this post from my smartphone during a break while at my daughter’s volleyball tournament in Milwaukee, which is going to go longer than expected, so I just downloaded an app that allows me to control my DVR and record the Packer game we are going to miss. Ah, the many miracles of modern technology! General Quilt Block Lotto rules: 1. Make one quilt block (or more) following the pattern and color scheme […]

Quilts for the homeless
There is a big need for quilts for the homeless; I have ‘tons’ of fabric that really doesn’t lend itself to our other quilts. Does anyone want to join me at my house to assemble the fabric into quilts? Or I can provide ‘kits’ for you to assemble one at home. I’m just sewing together pieces of fabric and finishing them by sewing on the backing and turning it inside out through an opening (with […]
