Coffee Chat Friends
I love everything hotel. My kind of camping comes with room service. While I was writing The Crazy Quilter, I pictured a “pillow drop” for sharing my debut novel with vacationing fall readers. Thanks to my quilting friends Tabatha and Rachel, my dream is coming true at Camelia Palms quilt retreat center in Alabama! Check out our Coffee Chat about the Quilted Summit, which brought us all together.
I had the most fun! Tabatha Smith and Rachel Joines from Quilted Summit helped me create my dream of sharing The Crazy Quilter via a quilt retreat "pillow-drop."
You can join our coffee chat here and here all about the retreat treats and our Quilted Summit workshops too: Watch Coffee Chat

About The Crazy Quilter
My first full-length fiction effort; I hope you enjoy it <3
This started as a short story. It was supposed to be a fun flash told through a few letters. Then I thought it would be good to add backstory to the letters, setting how they were found, probably in an attic, something like that. The next thing I knew, there were 13,000 words.
But there still wasn't an ending. And while I had hoped to write a mystery, I discovered that I had unexpectedly veered into the Gothic trope territory. So, I paused for some research to make sure where we were going in this story. Turns out, there is such a thing as "cozy gothic," so we are all good :)
Thus, we found our way beyond 22,000 words - a proper novel!

Here is the ABOUT news:
When Dana's great-aunt Angie passes away, she's bequeathed an unexpected inheritance—Angie's New England quilt shop, including her upstairs apartment. But as Dana questions whether the lifestyle of a small-town quilt shop owner will fit her, strange things are happening, leading Dana to wonder if the shop might be haunted by her great-aunt's restless spirit.
What dark secrets did Angie harbor? Why are her most prized quilts mysteriously missing? And could Angie's time in a psychiatric asylum long ago somehow be connected to the supernatural occurrences Dana experiences?
Faced with unearthing her family's hidden history and finding her great-aunt's legacy, Dana embarks on a journey of personal discovery. She is embraced in this quest by a group of local quilters: Edna, Janet, Alice, and Margo. These four women become Dana's allies and friends, offering her a sense of belonging and support as she delves deeper into her great-aunt's past. Through them, she comes to understand the importance of quilting for Aunt Angie and the town.
This charming, haunting tale blends mystery, quilting, and the power of family to uncover the essential meaning of being true to yourself and finding the threads that stitch a heritage.Admiring the Finish
I mended my friend Cheryl's little black dress for a special occasion. And I finished it two weeks in advance, not the day of the event, so I was very pleased with myself. I texted Cheryl to say I would be brining the dress back to her that evening. Done and done.
But wait, there is more.....
When I got to Cheryl's home, neighbors were waiting there to see the dress. There was pizza. People patted me on the back and offered to get me drinks. The dress was handed around for each person to admire the new zipper I had just finished. Then a guy I didn't even know played Pomp and Circumstance on his phone while a tiny parade returned the dress to a place of honor in Cheryl's closet. I know, I couldn't believe it either. It was like being in a Beatrix Potter story. It was an actual mending party!
So I'm relaying this strange but beautiful circumstance to ask; how do you celebrate your craft?
Are you like me? The minute I finish a quilt, I start another quilt.
It has never occurred to me to be like Cheryl's neighborhood and truly recognize the finish. Even after reviewing Visible Mending here on the blog, and believing i had a new found attitude of celebrating stitches, and thereby fearlessly creating more art pieces , wow - it still never dawned on me to just honor a finish.
Next time... I'll wear my tiara. What will you do?
Collage Quilt Planning
I want to try and quilt this vintage travel poster using
Sandi's method in @Quiltcabana ebook, Fabric Sketch Collage
I think it's a good candidate for collage quilting, except for the beach(?) background.
I might dumb that down a lot. Any advice?
And what if we changed the sky to blue?
hmmm...……
Anyway, Sandi's book is great, you should try it.
She makes a scary new technique simple and fearless.
I'm inspired :)
Vintage Remake
I found this flannel log cabin in a vintage shop some years ago.
It is small, about 30" square. The red centers are only 1/2"!
I've always wished to try recreating this very clever design.
Have you seen this block before? Does it have a name?
The leftover honeybun scraps from Bergamot cat quilt are ideal for this project!
And there are even enough scraps for two colorways; orange and white.
This is Moda bakeshop, Last Bloom by Sandi Gervais, and I absolutely love it!
I got this right before the lock down, it was just the
IDEAL colors I had dreamed of for creating Bergamot -
California poppy orange and depression jade.
(Hence the name, Bergamot;)
Here are the orange log-cabin flower centers. So far so good.
I will get back with you about the white/green blocks. Honeybun centers finish at 1" square, so my project will be twice as large as the original vintage inspiration.
Don't you just love it when a wish quilt comes together?
In this case, one honeybun is making 3 dream quilts!
(Bergamot, orange log-cabin, white log-cabin)
BTW: Bergamot is with the photographer.
As soon as I have a pattern cover pic, you will see it in the Etsy shop.
Covid Sewing Stories
I was telling my neighbor about the sewing adventures I have seen while selling sewing machines during the quarantine. She said the news was inspiring. Here are my stories, so you can judge for yourself.
A young couple with a new baby came in. They had just received their stimulus check and asked me to help them pick a serger. They wanted to sew their own baby clothes.
Half a dozen men with no sewing experience have come into the shop. They were all starting mask making businesses because they had been laid-off from work. They were fearlessly learning to sew, read patterns, and set-up Etsy shops.
Likewise, the design school students. Imagine having fashion design as an online course, and thus unexpectedly having to teach yourself sewing when you had been promised to learn in class. One young man had bought a sewing machine on Offer-Up; no ankle, no feet, nothing good. I was able to Frankenstein some working parts together for him from different brands that he could afford. BTW, there are 3 design schools in our region. When I finished high school here, you had to go to New York for fashion school. So I especially love helping the baby designers.
Speaking of beginning sewers, a lady came in for "the cheapest easiest machine you have. I don't even want to learn sewing, and the minute this is all over I am donating that machine to a church or someplace." She went on to explain that her husband was a police officer, and he was allocated only one mask per day, which was too dirty for use long before lunchtime. She was learning to sew in order to make him mask covers. I said, "Sure I'll give you the cheapest machine. But you'll be back for an upgrade when the sewing bug gets you." You know mask making is only a gateway hobby.
Lots of mom and daughters have also come in for "starter" machines. They are learning to sew together with their bonus home school time. One lady had twins, and I found a good sale for her so she was able to get a machine for each child.
Speaking of sewing time, one night close to closing, a nurse stopped by the shop, wearing her scrubs on the way to work. She was living in her garage while her husband worked from home with their two toddlers. The family comes to the window to wave bye to their mom when she goes to work. She told me that even with the hospital overtime, she was so bored in her garage room. She had asked her husband to bring the sewing machine outside for her because she had always wanted to learn quilting. I said you sure have come to the right place, and I showed her every dream ruler foot, ditch walking foot, you know, everything you wish you had when you started quilting. I was also fair to outline options for her, cheaper ways to get started, etc. But she said, "I will never again have this much money and time all at once. I'm going large - wrap it all up."
Sewing is essential.

Crazy Overlay Crochet
Texture! My favorite aspect of crochet. This new Leisure Arts book, Overlay Crochet: 10 Projects Add Dimensions and Style to YourHome by Kristi Simpson, creates crochet texture in fabulous new ways. “Dimension and style” is no joke here. Look what I made:
Kristi’s book Features a variety of projects: table décor, pillow, box, hand towel, blanket, ottoman pouf, wall hanging (mandala), granny square style blanket (but it’s not your granny’s style!), and an amazing boho crossbody bag – which is going to be next project, for sure.
I have always shied away from colorful crochet projects because I dislike changing threads. But Krisit has solved that, detailing 5 ways to join yarns. When you use this book, start with the General Instructions at the end (pg. 57). You’ll be amazed at the new tricks even before you dive into the gorgeous projects. Plus, there is a guide at the very end where you can get the exact project yarns Kristi used. I will definitely be hunting the original colors when I try this cover model table mat. Ideal springtime flavors!
Believe it or not, almost all the projects are rated Easy skill level. The Pillow is certainly Intermediate. Box is the beginner level project. My project was this gorgeous hand towel (pg. 48).
LOL – I made a simple mistake right at the begging, setting 9 posts instead of 8. So mine turned out pentagram instead of square and I love it! And it was still easy to finish. I think it looks like a poppy. I’m going to make a few more and see what a blanket of these would be like. Round, I guess. What do you think?
I really love this book – it’s going to keep me busy and happy all year :)

Superior Quilts
 |
| historic Magma Hotel vintage bar |
We made a field trip to Superior for an annual end of summer festival - Prickly Pear Days.
We found some unique quilt art. But not all of them are actual quilts. See what I mean?
The black and white border is bugle beads in-the-ditch. And the binding is variegated crewel yarn whip-stitch. I like how the quote stitching crosses the background and first border.
There was a series of these mug-rugsized arts, each with the hound's-tooth check background path.
Did I mention my new camera issues? Sorry I can't show you the complete series.
I just really liked this local artist painting of cow-girl with coyotes, so I wanted you to see it tool:0.
Thanks for sharing our trip!
More PreQuilt
Last week when I wrote about all the WOW PreQuilt Features, I became extra interested in how this creative "randomizer" evolved. So I've asked PreQuilt inventor Gar Liu to share more news here about how PreQuilt started and where it is going.
To begin with, a brief history. [Literally short-- PreQuilt is just one year old!]
PreQuilt began last July with Laura Henneberry's (Commonwealth Quilts) Circus Tent Quilt.
And it has evolved quickly from a color picking app, to an HST design tool, to a full application design platform. More designers joined, wishing coloring pages for their quilts too. Quilter/programmer Steph Skardal supplied the fabric catalogue. The latest feature is the custom block design tool.
According to Gar, PreQuilt's best features are the one's that short-cut repetitive tasks, such as selecting quilt quadrants or checkerboard blocks for quilt design editing. This way, designers can stay focused on their planning, without getting discouraged by minutia.
Gar says, "We hope that PreQuilt can leave people in an art director's position where they make decisions and then come in to tweak. Something like a self driving car where you can put your hands on the wheel at anytime to take back control."

Happy Anniversary to Gar, Laura, and PreQuilt! And best wishes for many more creative years. Thanks for inviting us all to share in your amazing design tool :)
Visible Medning Review
Much has been said about Visible Mending: Artful Stitchery to Repair and Refresh Your Favorite Things, by Jenny Wilding Cardon. It's started a mending movement!
As I am forever mending jeans, I thought this book would add some excitement to the chore. But it is much more than that. I found this a handbook for challenging your creativity in a new functional turn.

Here is my first project inspired by Visible Mending:
Yes, it is a jeans patch, ringed with Boro stitching :) Now instead of a tear, it's a statement! Instead of working to hide my work, I spent just as much time making something to show! See how it works?
By the time you get to the end of the book, I guarantee you'll be searching your wardrobe for old clothes to turn into statement pieces. And the next time you spill on your new outfit, you'll be thinking, "oooh, now I get to mend this:)"

Donna's Quilty Valentine
A new Pearl's Post poem was planned for today. But I'm' postponing it in favor of a new story related to Quilting Nurses, one that is perfectly suited for celebrating this Valentine's Day.
Dad was again in the hospital this week, just for testing, and he is doing great. It was a new hospital, very nice yet unfamiliar to us. Imagine how happy I was to see this:
There were six giant framed batik blocks decorating the hospital main corridor! A tag on each frame said,

There were six giant framed batik blocks decorating the hospital main corridor! A tag on each frame said,
"Created by Donna Smith in loving memory of Donald Smith"
What a lovely tribute! See why I wanted this news for a Valentine's Day post?
Do you think Donna is a local quilter? I hope I get to meet her some day.
Then I can tell her, thanks Donna, for the extra effort in framing your blocks, and making our hospital stay more beautiful and homey and bringing peace to my heart.
Happy Valentine's Day
Silk Quilt
Here is a vintage treasure from the RHQEtsy shop:
Full silk quilt!
Trip Around the World patched in silk, with silk panels for backing. Tied, no batting. Very heavy. One of the green silks shattered but the rest is in surprisingly excellent shape. And best of all.....
Silk prairie point border:)
This genuinely makes be smile. I mean, you couldn't put binding on the silk, right? So the quilter had to invent a different edging.
Wow, they sure were dedicated to making this quilt happen. I hope it finds a good home soon.

Quilting in Williams
Alex and I made a rainy day trip up north and look what we found!
Williams is home to Grand Canyon Railway, Bearizona, and best of all, Quilts on Route 66
Easy to find in a turn of the last century building on the old Route 66 historic Railroad AVE of Williams, Quilts on Route 66 has tons of charm and some unique finds too:
This sample of Creative Girl Pattern from BelieveMagic stopped me in my tracks.

Yes, it really is raw edge applique, Customized with tiny sayings patch and script quilting too!
Here are handmade lampwork bead fobs. So great to find local arts represented:)
This sparkly Japanese floss was another must-have find.
Quilts on Route 66 is a great LQS for Americana and Route 66 fabrics -
Alex chose a prickly pear FQ, of course;)
An adorable shop in an adorable town, I can't wait to return:)
An Ideal Doily Quilt
I've searched ages for the ideal quilt plan for showcasing vintage handkerchiefs and doilies. I think Leana has discovered it:
Leana mixed pictorial embroidery, colored pencil, and silk ribbon with crochet from her grandmother.
Blocks are large enough to frame/border the featured handwork, in addition to serving as interesting backgrounds.
Plus, the blocks are William Morris. You wouldn't guess it, but the detail and scale of this fabric perfectly compliments the white and cream crochet alike.
Mostly outline quilted by hand. This block is a wonderful exception.
Leana's only tip was to spend ages at the design wall considering each placement.
There are no empty or setting blocks.
Leana says she will never show this quilt because it is too precious to risk.

Show and Tell
Here are a few of my faves from the neighborhood.
Hope you have time for a cuppa and a little show and tell.
Hope you have time for a cuppa and a little show and tell.
Big stitches, beads, feature buttons, applique, and some stitchery.
It all comes together in Lynette's tiny pictorial.
Here is Barbara's tiny quilt - sew cute!!!
Diane worries about the scale of the cats:flowers & birds
Here is one of Diane's gourds.
The beaded edging is pine needles!
This one is HUGE, I never saw such a giant gourd.
The edging/handle is burned lasso.
The edging/handle is burned lasso.
Everyone contributes Rows for Valor.
Then Carolee builds the Valor quilts.
The GFG on the wall really is from Carolee's grandmother.
I love this one-patch, Super clever design.
Especially the border.
Not to mention, Karen's great workmanship.
I guess this also counts as R/W/B, and as pinwheel?
Foundation pieced pillow case. Also a one patch.
Spinning the biggy/smalls makes it look like a Spool.
Sculptured T-Shirt Quilt.
LOL I should have got a picture of the whole thing. Of course this block was center top ;)
This one is from the museum, and traveling AQSG exhibit.
There were more pictures but my phone ate them. AARG!
Check out the sculptured edge!!!
I would have flipped the sawtooth rows so they appear to come from the sashing instead of from the block....but that might have made the green too overpowering? What do you think?
For sure that is the tiniest dresdens I have ever seen. Paper Pieced?
Pearl says I should get to work now.
Happy Monday!
