Behind the quilts
Have you seen these pictures? Design photos! When I design a quilt I take photos as I go along. Photos help me see the blocks in another dimension. It’s kind of like holding your work up to a mirror and looking at it in reverse. Try it and you’ll see what I mean. If something is wrong you should be able to spot it. Remember Yoyoville? I filled glass candy jars with my yoyo’s as I went along. It was fun to do and I fell in love with the look of the jars. When it came time to put them on the quilt I really had to force…

Bitsy Says Thank You!
Bitsy says thank you to all of you who may have come to my blog sometime during the past few weeks to see if I’ve posted something new. Thank you for for being so patient when you saw her photo over and over.

I’m working on my next block of the month and I’ll give you a little hint; it’s a Christmas quilt. Ahhh, you may think you have ENOUGH Christmas quilts. I’m here to say this is not possible and I hope I can entice you into more applique. There’s another little critter I love to draw almost as much as a bunny. I’ve kept it a secret for a long time and I hope I see some smiles when you see it! :>) I love Christmas and…
