So, the first black square should be cut at 3 1/2” x 3 1/2”. That’s the easy one. There is one black [...] Here’s the quilt I made recently for our cousins who had a baby earlier this year. This baby boy, Daniel, has such blue eyes, that I took those baby blues as my inspiration for this quilt. The white fabric is all the same and it has a subtle white-on-white, loop-de-loop print, which I took as the [...] I’ve named the quilt pattern.

Her name is Kelly and she is the owner of The Wooden Bear – a pattern design company she started in 2002. I met Kelly at the Ladies of the Lake retreat at the end of October; she gave a presentation on [...] Sorry about the untimely posting to the blog the last few days, people. I’m trying to adjust to life that includes cleaning every day and blogging has been pushed aside temporarily. Progress on my house is still going well, I have a few positive anecdotes to share about my "new" house, but I’ll do that [...] I’m all retreated out!
