So Many Memories
This was a 2 sided biscuit pillow made from scraps of what my friend Sarah's grandmother used to call house suits (aka house dresses). I had redone a little quilt for her brother that had been made by the same grandma. I loaned her a seam ripper and she deconstructed the biscuits. Sarah Otto 49 1/2… Continue reading So Many Memories
4 Stars on 4 Patches
This was given to me at the March meeting of the Ann Arbor Quilt Guild. Mid 20th century string pieced stars. The setting fabric was so faded. There might have been a few years of grime... Hand pieced strips on a foundation. Not exactly diamond shaped. This is the first time I've ever remade a… Continue reading 4 Stars on 4 Patches
More Littles
Littles are fun. Littles are quick. 18" square. Made from just the side borders of the quilt below. I might add just a border to stabilize this and quilt it (later.....). 20” for Molly. I still have some 3x5" rectangles from a box I purchased for $5.00 in the early 90's. I used a lot… Continue reading More Littles
Another purple one.
Someone I used to do alterations for gave this to me to redo a couple years ago. It took me forever to think about how to make them stars without all the piecing. I happen to come across a ruler I purchased a few years ago and I had an aha! moment. After removing the… Continue reading Another purple one.
DRESDEN’S
My neighbor Gerry Campbell gave me these blocks a few years ago. I'm not exactly sure what the purple background fabric content is. It's a little thicker than cotton, has a bit of a sheen and is looser woven. I think it might be Rayon. I came across some fabric I thought would work for… Continue reading DRESDEN’S

Sorta Vintage
Wonky Christmas star #2 is from my stash of Christmas Fabrics...some going back to the early 1990's. This is for Katie and Chas.
Not EXACTLY vintage
My neighbor gave me some orphan blocks she had picked up at a rummage sale. I used some to make a baby quilt and donated it to my guild's sale at the quilt show this summer. I gave some others to friends who will use them in a Safehouse quilt. My guild donates 300 quilts… Continue reading Not EXACTLY vintage
Irish Chain for Lottie
I couldn't resist this quilt. It was a little more than I usually spend. 78x80 ish The backing was the same as the sashing. That's a lot of fabric! The block is Ohio Star. Some of them are not quite square. I used only some of the sashing and some muslin (that had been on… Continue reading Irish Chain for Lottie
