Isn’t she a beaut? This is a Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt that I’m finishing for a customer. It was hand pieced – and beautifully, I might add – by a family member of my customer way back when. And when I say way back when, I mean – I have no idea when this [...]

I wanted to share my recently inherited pillowcases with you. Ok, the photos only show one, but the other pillowcase is identical. I don’t know what I’ll do with these besides quilt the living snot out of them! :) I can just see all the empty space being filled with an intricate quilted [...]
July 9th, 2008 | by Jessie | Progress on Lovebirds (Circle gets the Square):
I finished piecing the entire top last night. I had to stay up until 12:30 am to do it, but sometimes you just can’t quit when you’re on a roll!
I used a variety of fabrics that contained red, black and white. Funny, I liked the boldness [...]
July 3rd, 2008 | by Jessie | comments closed I’m more excited about my modern quilt design now that my sister likes it. So, here it is:
Doesn’t look like me, huh? Simplistic, retro, high style, funky. I’m digging the bird silhouettes – they will be appliquéd onto a white background. I’ve been seeing birds pop up in art & decor recently: at [...]
June 20th, 2008 | by Jessie | I was hired to design and make an anniversary quilt for a couple marking their 50th wedding anniversary, which was in April, but they are celebrating it with a reception next month.
Can you tell I love stars? It was strategic, there are 50 stars on this quilt, one for every year of wedded [...]
June 11th, 2008 | by Jessie | I thought I’d share a current project with you. I’m not sure about it. I like it, but I don’t know if I love it. I’m leaving what I have on the design wall now so I can look at it with fresh eyes later.
I’m using a fall palette… out of step with the [...]
May 14th, 2008 | by Jessie | I thought I’d post a picture of a quilt that was pieced by my friend Rozetta Fiscus – I did only the quilting on it. She did such a good job with it. At our Quilt Circle of Friends meeting, held at Adel Quilting and Dry Goods, Co., all who wanted to participate in a [...]
April 14th, 2008 | by Jessie | Welp, the weekend was good… no, great. Mom took the kids on Friday afternoon. Need I say more?
Friday we had a friend over for dinner; he and Josh stayed home and hung out while my friend Barb and I went out for coffee and talked. It was fun a lot of fun.
Saturday we [...]
April 4th, 2008 | by Jessie | Sorry for the late posting, everyone. I hope I didn’t worry anyone (besides Mom). I had a rare opportunity this morning to quilt. So instead of writing about it, I got busy!
This is what happened when I tried to photograph the quilt while the kids were still awake.
Yeah, it [...]
April 2nd, 2008 | by Jessie | Here’s a picture of the quilting I have done so far on this yet unnamed quilt. I decided to quilt some freehand curlicues in the background of the appliqué blocks, it seemed fitting to the whimsical style of the quilt. I will probably go back and quilt in the actual appliqué shapes, too.
I think [...]
