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.

More Gifts

Is it just me or does it seem like everyone is pregnant right now?  I have made more baby blankets this summer than I thought I would and now I'm starting to feel like anything bigger would take an eternity to complete!  Here are some pictures of the more recent quilts I've gifted.


The multicolored quilt at the top is for our dear friends Andy and Sarina and their baby that is due in November.


 This quilt was really made by my friend Lauren who is expecting a baby boy in October to be named Robert.  She joined our family for a sewing day because she wanted her baby to have a quilt made by it's momma.  All I really did was coach and I must say that she did an amazing job.  That is just another of the many lucky babies I look forward to meeting this year.

Another Quilting Sleep-Over!

Kristin hosted the first of many future quilting weekends in their new home!  Everybody took a project from start to finish before the weekend was over!  And, we laughed!  Yeah, there was lots of laughing!
