Fabric Postcards
The idea of fabric postcards has been around for quite a while. Recently this topic has been brought to my attention from 2 different directions, so I had to do a post! I taught a virtual Compass Capers workshop for the Hot Springs Village Quilters in March. It was a 3 hour Zoom class in…
A Non-virtual Class
Last weekend was an exciting, busy time for me. Friday and Saturday were spent at a Christian Women’s retreat in Green Lake, WI. It wasn’t virtual! We actually got together and had a fantastic time of worship and fellowship. I arrived home Saturday evening spiritually refreshed… and exhausted. I fell into bed early so that…
Two Sided Binding
I came up with this method years ago when I made a small reversible table topper. There was no binding color that would look good on both sides since they represented two different seasons. So I played around a bit and discovered a way that’s really quite easy to do! I find it works best…
Labels in the Binding
I am a firm believer in the value of putting labels on our quilts. They may not be around forever, but then again they might, and with a label the story of the quilt lives on with it. Writing your name and the date on the back is an easy option. The other end of…

Mike and I decided to stop by and enjoyed the locally made woolen goods, wooden items, pottery and specialty foods (they even have fresh duck eggs!). The Artisan Market is at 111 N. 4th St. Click here for their…
Well Behaved Beads Revisited
Before I get to my “topic of the week”, I’m sure there are a few of you who’d like to know what name we chose for our puppy 😁. Thanks for all of your great suggestions last week. Mike and I really liked the name Noah, but he’s already hearing the command “no” a lot…
Museums and Quilts and Puppies, Oh My!
It’s been a while since Mike and I have done any traveling, but this past week we put an end to that. Mike traveled all over the world as a corporate pilot and, since he retired, he doesn’t want to go anywhere… unless he has a good enough reason. Well, we lost our dog Annabelle…
