Welcome!

Welcome. So glad you stopped by to visit. I love company. Let me show you what I've been doing lately. I'm a traditional type of quilter and a little artesy every now and then, meaning I love to add on when the need arrises. Don't want to over load my brain by trying to start an idea from scratch. One of my problems is that I see something and I'm so curious I want to know "how did they do that?" Once I know it becomes a project in the corner. I JUST WANT TO KNOW. So take a peak at some of the quilting that really has sparked my interest.

Cheers,
Rett

Alexia's Surprise


The quilt shown here by the way of cloths pins and a bright sunshiny day, was a gift to my granddaughter, Alexia. She purchased a home in Atlanta this summer and this quilt was her house warming gift. Colors were rich in hues only to fool the camera by the bright sunlight. Have you ever made something that you really wanted to keep but you made it for someone else? This is one of those quilts that I hated to let go, but it's the gift that counted so I'm told. This quilt was also a brain stormer to make.

Sand Pebbles w/ Chocolate Swirls


Scrap fabric of pebble print from another project.....what on earth do you do with it? Turns out that it partnered well with a chocolate and gold leaf print Who'da thought it would look so well? One of those late night, light bulb matching ideas. It too was accepted into the Stitches From The Soul quilt exhibit which opens this week at the Toledo Public Library. If you are in the area, do stop in.
