Why Quilting?

There were a lot of firsts last week for me.  I completed my first original design quilt top and also finished the largest quilt I’ve made to date.  With both of these accomplishments in one week, it’s made me want to reflect on why I started quilting.  It’s a good reminder, as I transition into making more of the same original design quilt top and start...

I’m a traveling quilter!

I am a Janome lover now (in addition to being a Bernina lover). My little Jem Gold is such a smooth and easy to use machine, I love it!  I am on the road this week and am traveling with the Janome.  I got bitten with a “finishing” bug and am now on a mission to finish as many WIPs (works in progress) as possible. ...

My first blog post! (YAY!)

My first blog post! (YAY!)

This blog is going to be dedicated to sharing my passion for quilting. I’m an engineer by background, so I thrive with lists and goals (and completions)!  I will be giving “weekly updates”  to share progress on my WIPs, keep myself accountable, and plan the next week’s goals on quilting. Throughout the week, I will blog on topics such as what I do to maximize...
