Wilderness Trail Quilt 1

Driving cross-country with Toby the dog to settle in Georgia was the perfect thing to do between packing everything in Utah and unpacking here.

This collection features a 24-inch panel with animals found in the wild, canoes, camping, and fishing gear in colors that are perfect for ...

I am back today to talk more about curtain rod connectors. Who would have thought I’d have so much to say about these tiny little things?

This quilt has been on my mind for months, and I’m so excited to share it as a Ruler of the Month quilt! Many times, when you see a quilt like this, it has been either foundation paper pieced or the pieces have been cut with a template. With 100 trees in this quilt, I […]

Curtains and curtain rods are a great way to easily make big changes in a room. My husband is always teasing me about how much thought I put into their placement, length, etc., but it does make a difference! They can make your ceiling feel higher, change the focal point of a room, and make a space feel much ...
