Counting my Blessings

What a state our world is in. I find myself trying to find a new ‘normal’ and failing with the ever changing requirements. I joke with my family often that I could easily be a hermit, but people come in to visit the store and my social needs are met. These days…not so much. With […]

Rose Gold for Valentine’s Day

I’m not one for sparkly fabric but Yes Please by Jen Alyson for Riley Blake Designs has just a hint of rose gold like my iPhone and how can you go wrong with that. It also has an adorable black, white and rose gold plaid that sparked my design side so I had to come […]

New Year…New Goals

I can’t believe how fast 2019 came and went. I’ve started out 2020 with some specific goal setting, including more blogging on my website. So here goes… Anyone else have trouble with prioritizing? It feels I can keep my house clean, or the store clean but when I put both together it just ends in […]

2019 – New Year…New Styles

What a busy start to the new year. As I was looking around the store to see what needed to be addressed it hit me that  2 quilts I had displayed need to come down and there were tons of holes from quilts I’ve sold and not replaced. In total 8-9 quilt ‘vacancies’. That got […]

Pumpkin Spice and Orange Leaves….

I am so excited for fall. My diffuser has Thieves and Cloves going and it smells so yummy. I am sure enjoying the brisk mornings and sleeping with the window open, now if it would just stay cool all day long!  I am working on some cloth napkins for my fall table. I think they […]

We’re ONE!!!

To say I love what I do would be an understatement…in fact it took me some looking to discover when we opened our doors. I’m happy to say it’s been a year of making my dream come true. When I started quilting (thanks to my wonderful mom) it was love at first stitch. I dreamed […]

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year….

Anyone that knows me knows I go a little bit overboard for Christmas…especially snowmen, villages, trees – okay pretty much everything that has to do with Christmas and the birth of Christ. This week has been just like Christmas at the quilt store, as most of our Christmas fabrics have arrived!! I am head over […]

Sunflowers are my favorite!!

I LOVE the new collection from Wilmington Prints called Sunset Blooms. It is filled with colorful sunflowers and vibrant peonies. The collection includes a free project sheet with two quilts that are gorgeous. It also includes a placemat panel with four designs that I am working on right now. I am making them reversible with […]

B etween customers, quilting, newspaper business and grandkids it sometimes appears to be utter chaos at Honeycomb Quilts. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love having little helpers underfoot, at least most of the time. I keep dreaming of how much better my granddaughter, Hannah Jo, will be at quilting […]

One of those weeks…

It’s been a busy week (which I’m very grateful for) but sometimes my concentration is lacking the busier I get. I started a Stack ‘N’ Whack Star quilt that has 12 blocks to have to display for the class. The pattern utilizes sashing and I have to admit, I am not a huge sashing lover. […]
