Quilting Tips And Tricks

Quilting is a passion. Once you get started, piece your first quilt and see the results? You are hooked.

I grew up seeing my grandma and great-grandmas quilts (My mother didn't start making quilts until later in life). Some of my most vivid memories were when we would arrive at my grandmas farm in Colorado. The first thing we always did was go to the main bedroom, and grandma would lay out quilts, and talk about each one. This was an impromptu 'quilt turning'. Annie May Scarlett would tell stories about my two-great grandmothers and their quilts. Apparently, one of the great-grandmothers was a MUCH better quilter/piecer than the other. No matter, I love them all the same, and won't tell you which quilter was the 'better'.

Now, over 40 years later, I am still learning new things, and happy to share from my experience - both good and not-so-good.
