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.

A quilt for my Suellyn

This is me.  This is my Suellyn.
Suellyn and I first met 20+ years ago in the hallway of Jefferson Elementary School.  Within a short time we were working together at the helm of Carl Sandburg Elementary School.  We quickly became forever-friends.  In those years she has encouraged me, taught me, mentored me, counseled me, cried with me, laughed with me, and loved me just as I am.  
I could go on and on and on and on...and it would never be enough to thank her justly for all she has given me just by letting me know her.
So, I let this quilt do the talking recently for my cobalt 'n cream lovin' friend.
