We have such fun and amazing swaps at the LA Modern Quilt Guild. I haven’t blogged about many of the yummy quilts and gifts I’ve received. So this week, I’m going to play catch up! We’ll start with the oldest first. 🙂 Now, please don’t ask me how long ago I got this cutie but, it has been hanging on …
I’m Such a Quilt Geek!
I look so serious in this picture. (This is actually my I need to find my glasses look! Haha!) We had so much fun learning how to long arm yesterday. Talking about serious quilt geeks. I’ve already started dreaming of all the things I can do with it. Oh, the possibilities! I can’t wait until February 1st when Sew Modern …
Mini Quilts – Jagged Little Pill
This is a project that was finished last year – like six months ago – that I never posted! It was made for the LAMQG Mini Quilt Swap.

At long last, 270 5.5″ HST later – here is the quilt top for my sweetie. I’m not quite sure how I’m going to photograph the whole top – but, I’ll wait until I’m finished the quilting to figure that out. The quilt is massive though – he asked for a king sized but, I could only find batting for …
Bricolage & Butter Bee Blocks – the Finale
I am officially, THE WORST BEE MEMBER EVER. Not proud of it, but, it’s officially a fact. So, I spent my vacation in December catching up! I figured I should at least start the new year off being all caught up. I don’t know why I’m so bad, but, I think that my Bee blocks get in the way of …
