Sorting through years of stuff!

I have a move in my near future and it is time to sort what I have and perhaps get rid of a few things. Today, between the cooking and making great, yummy food I found some time to spend in my sewing room. I sorted a few fabrics, but spent most of the time going through my "crafty junk drawers." Yes, it is plural, I had several. It is easy to see where my priorities are today... in my drawer I found glue sticks, crochet hooks, knitting needles, velcro, various lengths of lace and trim, a few…See More

Profile Information

Tell us about yourself
I love, love, love to plan quilts, to think about quilts, to buy fabric for quilts. I try really hard to not only start them, but to at least get the top together! I machine quilt and my 20 year old Bernina is still amazing. By day I am a manager in healthcare... and even then I sometimes think about the quilts I want to make. The kids are growing up and now I have more time and sort'a more money for it... sort'a not. One of my favorite things is to find new quilt stores to visit. I also love our pets, music, reading and am trying to love working out.:) Back to quilts, I probably have more blue fabric than any other, but in the past few years have really stretched and grown. My favorite style would be traditional and scrappy with a contemporary flair! Terry

Finding peace in quilting

Posted on November 3, 2012 at 9:00am 1 Comment

My love of quilting has so many different aspects to it. I like to touch the fabric and run my hands across it.Sometimes I am surprised by the smoothness of the cotton and lack of texture, as the pattern can look so real that I almost expect it to feel the way it looks. When I walk into a quilt shop and do this I know that my blood pressure instantly drops.

I am delighted to see all the colors and patterns and how one combined with another can change how it looks. I am wowed and in…

Fitting Quilting In... A Necessity.

Posted on October 28, 2012 at 11:09am 3 Comments

When I first discovered this website, I was thrilled. Wow, people that are like me - that think and breathe quilting. I started posting a blog here now and then and found fun in that too. I could not only plan and start quilts, dream about quilting , but I could also share my thoughts about it too and inspired by what others are creating! I was also in a very productive phase with quilting and completing some projects.

But then, my professional life took a new path and I found myself…

My Active Imagination!

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 7:30pm 0 Comments

One of my biggest gifts I believe is my imagination. My mind can go a zillion miles a minute and my imagination keeps right up with it. If I had made every quilt that I have ever imagined, I bet I could cover all of the land on the entire globe. I have mentally designed many of my own patterns and then created them, unfortunately in mind only.

On paper I have gone even a step further and put pen to paper and doodled through meetings, church sermons and many moments of just being…

terry, go to amazon or ebay. there are lots of books for fat quarters. i had a couple and gave them away...they were good for ideas only, as far as i was concerened...so many of the patterns called for like 19 of this fat quarter fabric. or 6 of another...heck, i could by yardage just as cheap. so gave the books away to a q freind who wanted the ideas in them. susan teagarten is one author, tho i may have the name misspelled. but a search will give correct spelling. connecting threads most recent catalogue has at least one in that i saw while skimming thru the new books section the other night.

any kind of fabric is used. good luck and let us know what you find.
