We are one family. One family . . . by blood or marriage or friendship. We live in the same small town in Central Illinois. We are moms and daughters. We are sisters and cousins. We are grandmas and wives and aunties.

We all love to quilt and were raised to believe that a girl should always wear her undershirt. And, on those days when you
wear a dress, a petticoat is always in order. This is where you'll find photos and stories of our quilting adventures.

Spring Break Sewing Day!

Olivia is home for Spring break this week and hosted a quilt-a-thon!  We decided to take the opportunity to begin celebrating her birthday as Grandma and Grandpa had wrapped up her wish in a new Viking sewing machine and it just seemed appropriate that she have it today.   (6 more days!)  It was a long day of cutting and sewing and designing and laughing.   UFO's were finished and some new projects were begun.

Then the photographer went home.  To sleep.  To sew tomorrow.
