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.

Christmas Quilt's New Look
Following a pattern has never been my strong suit when it comes to quilting. I think that's why I so enjoyed making the mini quilts for AAQI. They were personal designs. Anyway, I thought joining the Aiming for Accuracy would help me to follow a pattern and improve my accuracy. It did help improve accuracy and I learned a few tricks, but following a pattern is just not my thing. I fell behind and so this week decided to catch up. I just couldn't make one more half square or quarter square triangle. So I ventured out on my own.
The blocks that I have completed will be set in a white on white or small Christmas print with a small border of fabrics used in the blocks. I feel like a huge pressure has been lifted from me shoulders and I excited about completing this project. This quilt will be donated to our church for the silent auction next year. Have a great week and Happy Quilting!
