How did you celebrate your 4th of July Holiday? I did the usual traditional things we do here in the States ... barbeque with friends and fireworks. We have gotten together with the same friends for almost 30 years now every 4th of July. We play our own version of Progressive ...

Brenda finished this quilt recently as a gift for her grandson. She wanted me to use a pattern with stars and loops. Nearly every designer has a pattern using a combination of circles or loops and stars in their catalog, and in fact, I own most of them. However, I ...

                                                                                  First of all, isn't this the prettiest design for an overall edge-to-edge design? In helping my friend Linda come up with a possible quilting plan for a customer quilt, her request for an E2E pattern to go with the rest of the Gossamer Collection resulted in this design ...
