The Whole Top!

MrsJ @SophiaMorros (5044) • Belews Creek, North Carolina 28 Feb 22

Finally, a day that was dry enough to spread out the quilt top I finished last week and get a photo of it. Unfortunately, it isn’t a particularly good photo. The quilt is too large to be able to see the details and for some...

MrsJ @SophiaMorros (5044) • Belews Creek, North Carolina 24 Feb 22

I just finished piecing a quilt top that will be a wedding gift for friends late next month. I didn’t measure my fabric beforehand, I didn’t cut all of my pieces out before I started. I didn’t even have a final plan for the quilt...

The Dude Staying Warm Under the Quilt

CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 6 May 20

With the cooler temperatures for the next few days, the Dude did not waste any time getting under the quilt. It is funny to watch him. Sometimes he gets completely under a blanket or quilt and then I hear him snoring. Brendel, on...

CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 12 Nov 19

Records were broken here today with 29 degrees F as our high. Tonight we will be around 14 degrees F. But I have heat and quilts. No rain, which means no snow hopefully. Just cold weather. All very rare for us in November. My...

MrsJ @SophiaMorros (5044) • Belews Creek, North Carolina 13 Mar 19

Work, of course. Kiddo one tried to bite his dad. Which did not bode well for staff at school. Kiddo two was sleepy and did not feel good, but no fever. He got an hour and a half nap. Kiddo three managed to totally miss recess...

About 10 years ago I needed a good idea for a Black History Month project to display in our hallway. I remembered reading about the Underground Railroad Quilts and how they aided the escape of many slaves. I kept thinking about...
