The Sister Quilts

May 25, 2018
I finished up 4 quilts in March and totally dropped the ball on blogging about them. So I’m on a mission to correct that, starting with what I call “the sister quilts.” I call them the sister quilts because I used the same pattern to make them for two sisters—my mom and my aunt. Pattern: Tiffany by Villa Rosa Designs Fabrics: Poetry by 3 Sisters and Lorraine by American Jane (blocks, borders, and bindings) Backing fabric: Flannels from Joann Fabrics (on sale!)

December 29, 2017
Merry Christmas, y’all! I am so excited because this year I actually finished TWO Christmas quilts before Christmas Day. That’s especially impressive because 1) I’ve only completed a total of 3 quilts ever, and 2) I started both of these quilts after Thanksgiving. Yay me! The first quilt I finished was my Figgy Tree Farm Block Swap quilt. Pattern: Tree Farm by The Pattern Basket Fabrics for blocks, border, and binding: Assorted Fig Tree & Co. Background fabric: Moda Bella Solids 97 PFD  ...
