  • Cursed Fabric

    Sarah, my daughter, and I both make quilts. Lots of quilts. But, we seem to take turns – sort of. As she was packing her things to go back home this weekend, after staying overnight with us, she pushed the box of fabrics at me and then reached to take them back. We both laughed,…

  • Our Art Quilt Project

    Hehehehe.  A baby and a bucket of fabric scraps.  I’ll be picking them up for the next month!  What was I thinking!? Well, let’s just say I was rushing things a bit.  The technique worked well but the materials I chose didn’t (not their fault, mine) and the child doesn’t quite have the attention span…

  • New Fabric!

    Oh what a great trip to Anchorage! To visit my favorite quilt shop (Seams Like Home Quilt Shoppe) and see the familiar faces and the new, gorgeous fabrics. Heaven!! Then Sarah arrived with granddaughter Audrey and the *real* fun began 🙂 Confession: I do not shop for fabric. I have asked (that being the polite…

  • Design Options

    Sarah’s playing with some quilt design options on her blog. Take a peek and let her know which layout you like best. I’ve been cleaning and organizing stash and paperwork. Pulling out old notes, unfinished tops, stuff like that. My theory is that if I surround myself with unfinished works I’ll eventually finish something! 🙂

  • Saturday, June 21 in Anchorage, Alaska

    Sarah and I will be at Seams Like Home Quilt Shoppe in the new location at the University Center Mall from noon to 3pm on Saturday. Please stop in and say “hi” and I’ll be bringing the bits of my Fuzzy Funky Crazy Shortcut Quilt too – I have a few squares “quilted” and you…

  • Crazy Shortcake Quilt finds a Home

    While at Spring Quilt Market Sarah and I bumped into Maret from Seams Like Home Quilt Shoppe in Anchorage several times! I love going all the way to Portland, Oregon to meet up with the Alaskans – lol! We showed her the Shortcake Quilt and offered to let it go live in her newly relocated…

  • We made the Catalog Cover!

    I am back from Quilt Market in Portland and what an experience! Sarah and I had an awesome time at Market and even though she did all the hard work (and she did a spectacular job!) I am the one who is exhausted! How did that happen? LOL I am a behind-the-scenes kind of person…

  • Audrey’s Hat

    I’ve been working on a secret project….Audrey’s Hat. As you can see from Sarah’s blog, Audrey loves to put things on her head. Her favorite thing is a tupperware toy that she pretends is her hat. That made me think that maybe I should make her a hat.This hat had no design or pattern in…

  • Fun with Flickr

    I created a photo set (which can be viewed as a slideshow) on Flickr (click here to see it) of portions of quilts in our book – some photos are of 1 square of the quilt, some have 4 squares. The photos aren’t great and I hope to re-do them soon. Flickr is a photo…

  • Sarah Raffuse Blogs!

    My daughter and co-author, Sarah Raffuse, has started a blog. Hehehehehe. I knew that if I stole her pictures enough she’d start blogging herself 🙂 <—-happy mom smile! On her post today she shows off one of her most favorite quilts, made with the Bella Nonna pattern and silk flowers (check out their stuff here).…
