December 9th, 2009 | by Jessie | At the time I made this quilt, I posted instructions on how to make a snowball block and how to sew a quilt top together, but I also photographed the process I go through to make appliqué letters.
After finishing the letters on the aprons, I thought it would be a good time to post [...]
November 11th, 2009 | by Jessie | After helping make an apron over the weekend, I had the idea to make another apron for a little girl who celebrated her birthday today. This girl, well she’s not just any girl, she’s Jett’s girl. Some how, some way, months ago Jude and Jett got the idea that they both had girls. Jett says [...]
January 6th, 2009 | by Jessie | I finally got this quilt finished up last week. Yesterday I washed it up, took pictures of it and got it ready to send to my customer. I’ll have fond memories of this one: it was the project I was working on when I found out I was pregnant. Also, because of that, I have [...]
December 3rd, 2008 | by Jessie | Here’s a fun one for you:
My customer wanted a custom quilt to give to her brother and new sister-in-law as a wedding gift. The family just loves their dogs and my customer wanted to include pictures of the dogs belonging to her, her brother and her sister-in-law. She liked the look and style of [...]

Here’s the proud mommy and her precious babe:
Look at that hair!
I’ve started asking expectant moms for input as I design a baby quilt [...]
September 30th, 2008 | by Jessie | My mom took the boys for a couple of nights this past weekend. Josh and I got a lot done around the house, had friends over, finished my quilt, had a Dairy Queen date… good times!
Here is the finished quilt:
The design is not mine. The design and pattern is from Susan [...]
September 25th, 2008 | by Jessie | I have started the next quilt project on my customer list. I’m still not done with the Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt; I am done with the quilting, though, a that’s a relief, it took a loooong time. I’m in the process of hand binding it now, and that could take a while, too – I’ve [...]
July 14th, 2008 | by Jessie | I worked like a crazy person Friday and Saturday and I finished this quilt just in time give to our friends who got married over the weekend. Literally, I finished the binding (by machine), soaked the quilt in cold water to remove the marking lines, ran it through the washer’s spin cycle to remove the [...]
