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.

Victorian Patchwork
I'm going to spend part of my Labor Day weekend quilting. Ami Simms from AAQI just sent out a request for addition miniature quilts to be sent in by September 15. These additional quilts will help her reach a goal of 1,000 AAQI quilts for sale at the International Quilt Show in Houston, TX. My personal goal is to have at least 5 ready by Tuesday.
Here's #1. I call it Victorian Patchwork. I stumbled across a novelty print of woman in Victorian times sewing and immediately thought what a cute mini. I added some lace, yo-yos and buttons. The little quilt measures 7 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches. If you have some free time this holiday weekend, make a mini and send it to AAQI, we can use your help. Just click on the Alzheimer sidebar on my blog and get all the information you need. Have a Fun and Safe Holiday and Happy Quilting!
