  • Beautiful Maple Leaf Quilt

    Bonnie Jenkins has sent me photos before of her quilts and here’s her newest and its story: My husband and I visited the east coast of Canada last September, just in time to see the beautiful autumn leaves. I really loved the colours of the maple leaves. When we returned home I bought a copy…

  • Joanne D & Me

    Joanne D and I have been emailing for a while, and I have to tell you that I— number one, admire everyone who can ask for help and —number two, love anyone who can laugh at their own mistakes. These are two qualities I value deeply, so she and I are hitting it off quite…

  • Bonnie’s Sawtooth Star Quilt with Quilted Borders

    I recently received the nicest note from Bonnie about a quilt she adapted to quilt-as-you-go, using methods that worked best for her. That’s my very favorite kind of story! Thank you Bonnie for sharing your quilt and your tips! Dear Marguerita and Sarah, Here is a photo of the sawtooth star block quilt I made…

    June asked me a common question about my Sewing and Quilting Table adaptations and when I replied, she sent me pics of her table and her quilt (check out those gorgeous batiks!), along with her story: Thanks so much for your information. This is what I did. My sons cut a hole in my sewing…

  • Jean Knapp’s Quilts

  • Quilt Question from Carol Crites

    I received a question from Carol and have tried everything I know to get back in touch with her, but emails bounce and Google searches are just not helping, so I’m posting both her question and my reply here in the hopes that she’ll see it. If you have any ideas on her quilt dilemma…

  • Keeping Up With Kim W

    Well, the truth is, I just can’t keep up with Kim! She’s made two more queen sized quilts and I’m just about speechless. About a year ago I received an email from Kim telling me about her first queen sized quilt (quilt-as-you-go) and her own special ergonomic sewing table. I just treasure messages like that,…

  • Teresa’s Road To Oklahoma Quilt

    I was lucky enough to meet Teresa Rush at the Pahrump, Nevada quilt show in March this year. She follows my travels on this blog and on Facebook, and she saw me post that I’d be in Pahrump, so she drove 60+ miles to come to the quilt show and say “hi”! That just made…
