I was chatting the other day with a friend about how the Geode QAL finishes in plenty of time before Christmas, and she was glad as it meant she could use this quilt along as the motivation to make a quilt for her in-laws for Christmas. The conversation flowed on, but I’m sorry, Jane, I was mildly distracted at how… Read More

If a blog post could be summed up in one action, it would be me pumping my fists with a loud “Yeah, baby!” And that’s because I got all caught up on my Girt By Sea quilt, making three borders in one month. Amidst flu-ridden kids (and one’s resulting ear infection) that kept me on nursemaid duty for almost two… Read More
