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 […]
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 […]

I started a new project that is an old favorite….A Double Slice Cake. I am using Thistle Farm by Kansas Troubles – you can’t go wrong with Kansas […]
With the Fourth of July my first week in business is coming to a close today. It has been an exciting week meeting new people and seeing old friends but I managed to squeeze in a little quilting. I am quilting a Swoon Quilt made from Bonnie and Camille for a customer. It is going […]
