Quality t-shirt quilts, memory quilts, custom or edge-to-edge long-arm quilting services and quilting education plus anything else quilting we can throw in!

I stumbled upon the opportunity of making memory bears when I lost my mom. I had all of her clothes and thought originally I would make a quilt as a keepsake. The problem was there just wasn't enough clothes to make a quilt for everyone I wanted to share a keepsake of mom with. What I did find was that I could use her clothes to make memory bears for those of us who wanted such a treasure. I have

since made bears out of many lost loved one's clothes. I have also used children's sleepers or blankets to make a lasting reminder of when our kids were oh so small. Over the past several months I have expanded my creations to include t-shirt quilts, photo quilts, Christmas ornaments, and doll clothes. Many of us have favorite clothes or blankets tucked away... baby/kids clothes, sports jerseys, team shirts, clothes from loved ones etc. Transform and preserve these items by turning them into a handmade, custom creation. Lots of new creations are in the works!

This four day weekend has been wonderful! I ended every evening working on Oliver's Christmas stocking. It looks like good progress but I'm only on step 27 of 114. 😳 Closing out this Memorial Day remembering all those who gave their life for our freedom. Freedom hasn't been free. 🇺🇲

This year's graduation quilts have been gifted and we wish all graduates success in their next chapter. Pictures just don't do the colors on this gem justice, it is gorgeous! Way to go, Haven, on your high school accomplishments and graduation. The sky is the limit and we wish you the very best!

Never underestimate the value of a cheater panel! I used a silk/cotton blend batting for the 1st time. It is very lightweight and drapes beautifully. Minus the higher cost of this batting, it is my favorite by far.

Peer pressure (or let's call it friendly encouragnent) on a bus trip last month got me started on an Exploding Heart pattern. This has been such a fun quilt to put together.

Four years ago I had never been on a bus trip, I didn't think I would like them at all. Three bus trips later and I'm hooked! No worries other than keeping track of when you need to get back on the bus. Lots of laughs, ideas and new friends are made on each trip.

Adventure #4 is coming up this fall and you have to chance to join me. Beth has arranged an exciting trip to Missouri Star for their Birthday Bash. Because she will already be there working AND because she's a little crazy, she put me in charge of keeping everyone in line on the way there and back!

There are a few spots left and we'd love to have you join us for fun, friendship and fabulous fabric! Flyer and itinerary is below, contact Beth at the number listed to register.

What a perfect day to spend in Paducah and catching up with a dear friend!

16 hours of fun and fabric yesterday! Snapshot of some of the Flora and Olney guild members. Two red, white, and blue beauties followed me home. Lots of half square triangles in my future with one of them. And border with a cheater panel for the 2nd. This one will be quilted with silk batting for my batting class in June at Missouri Star. Next stop... Paducah!

Edited to add: if you're looking to get involved in a guild, don't hesitate to reach out to someone. Or go on that bus trip, even if by yourself. There is a whole world of people to meet. I met and sat with the sweetest new friend yesterday. Photo creds to her- Maryetta Webb!

I had someone reach out to me after yesterday's post and ask how I longarm that quilt without tripping over it. Valid question! I actually just drape it like that for the picture. When it is being quilted, I do one of two things: 1) my frame has a net under it to hold the excess top and batting as seen in the first picture or 2) I pin the top to an additional leader and roll it up as seen in the 2nd photo. Handi Quilter has the best accessories for their machines. I may not have all of them but I'm close!

Loaded a red, white, and blue gem this weekend. This patriotic pretty will be raffled off at the Sew Nifty Sisterhood quilt show on June 19 and 20. We will be celebrating America's 250th birthday! Contact myself or any guild member to purchase tickets. $1 each or 6 for $5

We’re in full swing with t-shirt quilts. This one is even more beautiful in person—it turned out amazing! Created in memory of Roy McLaughlin, we hope it brings comfort, love, and cherished memories to its recipient every time they wrap up in it.
