  • Alane’s Quilt Story

    Alane was working from my book “Finish (almost) Any Quilt” when she wrote to me. She was working on a quilt for her dad, sitting by his side in the hospital.

  • New Quilt Pics!

    Stella made her fourth Crazy Shortcut Quilt! On this one, she writes: I have shown the back as it has a rather lovely fabric with ‘wols’ (owls) on it. I went a bit over the top and added two more designs which I knew she would like. One of the seaside to remind her where…
