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.

An addition to my sewing room

Ok, so it's more like a sewing corner than a room but I LOVE sharing this space with my Nick on days when he is busy at his desk and I am busy at my sewing machine.  It's great to spend time together even if we aren't focused on the same task.  Yesterday however, I required his focus in the sewing corner to assist in the hanging of a few things on my walls.  It may have been more me assisting him than him assisting me but who's really keeping track?!?  My cousin Olivia made us the gorgeous quilt as a house warming gift and I couldn't think of a better place for it than in my sewing room.  It fit perfectly in the space and it warms my heart and reminds me that "good sewing cannot be rushed" every time I look at it.  We also hung the antique drawer my mom bought to hold my threads.  Obviously I need to find more thread to fill it but that will come in good time.
