Honestly, I didn’t think I could get 4 quilts finished between mid October and before Christmas. Okay, so one was well on its way and by the first week of December it was with its new owner. But that still left a large lap sized quilt and 2 large wall hangings – 3 feet by…

Posey Quilts grand opening!
Hear ye! Hear ye! Posey Quilts has officially opened its doors and is ready for business! We literally just finished up the website redesign which means many of the products are still being added (that’s a manual process, adding them each individually) but we at least have a start. We are starting off by selling…
Geometric Quilt
I should have big news the next time I have an update. Okay, I can’t wait. I’m starting a new venture. I’ll be selling digitized quilting designs for computerized long armers. Once I get about 1500 designs uploaded then I’ll also be adding in laser cut quilt kits. No time frame on that second part…
Blazing Star – finally quilted
Whew! I am finally starting to catch up with everything that’s fallen by the wayside for the past 18 months. I can’t remember if I mentioned this before, but I decided to go back to my alma mater for another degree. Silly me – I thought as a mature adult, I’d get the work done…
Cleanliness is next to happiness
Hi everyone! I’m finishing up my final semester and I’m ending on a really busy note. Each of my classes has a paper due typically each week. These can range from 4 to 20 pages each for 3 separate classes and then there are discussion boards and responses which account for another 2 + pages…
2 finishes
A friend called yesterday to remind me that I had this morning blocked off to sew, sew, and sew some more. Our church sends teams to Kenya twice a year (each person pays their own way) and they have eyeglass and dentist clinics where local residents can get fitted for glasses and any dental repairs…
Art Imitating Life
I had an idea about a year or so ago. I thought at some point down the road I could buy a digital laser cutting machine to make custom applique quilts. I looked into several and knew which one I wanted, but filed it under “some day”. I was on the company’s refurbished email list…
Easter basket!
I grew up in a family with several children, and one tradition we had was like many people – we hit every available Easter egg hunt in a 20 mile radius of our house. That may be a slight exaggeration. There was the year I won the golden egg; that was thrilling. Then there was…
The Watcher
I’m still whittling down my 2017 UFO’s. I corrected the blocks that had a rotated piece in them yesterday and was so glad there were only a handful. That’s always a challenge trying to fix something once the whole top is finished. In the meantime, I had this kit from Libs Elliott which I bought…
a finish and a quilt binder set
Though hers was made from silk and mine is cotton, I liked the way she had hers quilted with just straight lines throughout. I did decide to mix mine up a bit, varying the widths throughout. I also sewed 1/4″ border around each of the blocks, and then filled in the middle with a different…
sampler quilt finished
And that’s a wrap – other than clipping a few threads. I started this one sometime last year; it’s a sampler based off of several different quilts in Amy Ellis’ “Modern Heritage” book. She had a suggested layout and I followed it for the most part although I added in quite a bit of negative…
