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.

Cousins don't shake hands! Cousins gotta SEW!



Since we couldn't get it to work into everyone's schedule, Olivia and I decided to have our own sewing day just us!

She slept over last night and we got up early to sew all day!  We were at our machines by 7am and didn't even stop for breakfast!

We stopped for lunch and I took Olivia for her first experience at a FIVE GUYS for burgers and fries!  It was de-lish!

We made it to one quilt shop and had an unsuccessful WalMart stop (where we saw the car to the right with the lovely words written on the back!) before it was back to the homestead.













We solved all the world's problems, got a little sewing done, and laughed as we recited some of the best "Nancy-isms".


By the end of the day, Olivia had all the blocks ready for her next quilt project, and I had curtains for my kitchen window!
