I haven't written in my blog for some time. That's because I've been working on my quilting site and my quilting store. I need to tie up a few loose ends, and then I'll launch my store. This Wednesday, I'm going to the Regional Fabric Trade... http://www.sewaquilt.com/200702.html#e55 http://www.sewaquilt.com/200702.html#e55 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 11:39:04 -0400 I've always made my quilts with modern fabrics. But recently, I caught Vintage Fabric Fever. One day, I was scanning the internet for new fabric ideas. I came across a reproduction fabric collection from RJR Fabric Company. It was called "Everything but the... http://www.sewaquilt.com/200702.html#e54 http://www.sewaquilt.com/200702.html#e54 Mon, 19 Feb 2007 07:23:09 -0400 I've spent the past week preparing tax returns for my family. My quilting had to take a back seat. But now I'm back, doing what I love the most: writing and quilting. Spring is around the corner. I'm happy that we're almost done with this cold weather.... http://www.sewaquilt.com/200702.html#e53 http://www.sewaquilt.com/200702.html#e53 Thu, 15 Feb 2007 08:54:15 -0400 As many of you know, I feed the stray cats that hang around my home. For good reason, too; it's freezing outside. In fact, today feels like 13 below zero with the wind chill factored in. I was watching a little black cat on my back deck this morning. She... http://www.sewaquilt.com/200702.html#e52 http://www.sewaquilt.com/200702.html#e52 Fri, 9 Feb 2007 10:43:39 -0400 As the Iraqian war drags on and the death toll rises, I find myself thinking about the families of fallen soldiers. How awful to lose your own son or daughter to the ravages of war. This war has no guarantees, only the certainty that more lives will be lost.... http://www.sewaquilt.com/200702.html#e51 http://www.sewaquilt.com/200702.html#e51 Wed, 7 Feb 2007 08:46:26 -0400 Mark your calendars!

Yesterday, with the wind chill factored in, it was 20-degrees below zero. Yes, I said "below zero." You can bet we've been snuggling in our quilts. I'm blessed with a hard-working husband who makes... http://www.sewaquilt.com/200701.html#e49 http://www.sewaquilt.com/200701.html#e49 Thu, 25 Jan 2007 10:17:06 -0400 Have you ever seen an envelope quilt? Actually, they're quite charming. I like them because they have a unique look. If you can imagine a quilt made with tiny fabric envelopes, you've got the right idea. I've never made one, but I've heard they're easy... http://www.sewaquilt.com/200701.html#e48 http://www.sewaquilt.com/200701.html#e48 Sat, 20 Jan 2007 13:19:00 -0400 I'm always searching for great topics for my blog. This morning I found a couple sites that make pet portrait quilts. Wow, you have to see these quilts! I know you probably enjoy quilting, but in this case, wouldn't it feel great to hand it over and let... http://www.sewaquilt.com/200701.html#e47 http://www.sewaquilt.com/200701.html#e47 Fri, 19 Jan 2007 08:14:06 -0400 I love fabric. All types. When I saw RJRs "Everything But the Kitchen Sink" collection, I was smitten. These reproduction fabrics are bright, cheerful and eye-catching. During the depression, women received their food in feedsacks. Because times were...
