Welcome to my patchwork journal. I enjoy expressing myself through fiber. Tiny pieces of vintage quilt blocks and fabric combined with hand stitches create my art. When not quilting I'm living a patchwork life. Always changing and helping to keep me young and on my toes. Join me in my experiences and thoughts.

Just Waiting
Over the years I have purchased many antique quilt blocks at local tag sales and auctions. I use the wonderful quilt blocks in mini and message quilts. Antique 9-Patch blocks made from used clothes are my favorites and I was lucky to get 15 at an auction outside of St. Louis, Missouri. Fabric type can always help date the block, but I always wonder who made them and what was the plan that was never completed?
