This quilt is “June” by GE Quilt Designs. I pulled the fabric for the quilt along (QAL) in late June, but due to closing out work commitments, I didn’t start work on it until July. And finally put it together this week in August. I had considered using a red grunge fabric where the blue… Continue reading First retirement quilt top!

Button Box quilt
I’m catching up on the quilts tops I made this spring. I was working 3 days a week and thus had 2 extra days off. I’m going to be honest here — I didn’t like working part-time. My work responsibilities were only reduced a little bit and so I worked really hard to keep up… Continue reading Button Box quilt
Brown is Beautiful Quilt I
I am officially retired from my work at Ithaca College as of today. There will be more quilts in my future. This one was a pile of blocks in my studio and I think that I was going to make a queen size quilt in this colorway. And years ago, I pieced the blocks —… Continue reading Brown is Beautiful Quilt I
Another 3 yard quilt!
I finished this quilt top in May. It is called Jigsaw. The original pattern had the dominant lines leaning to the right — I switched them to lean to the left. That matches my life better as I am left-leaning. I intend to bind it in the dark purple — after I purchase a bit… Continue reading Another 3 yard quilt!
Waking up this blog, again
Time for another restart. Maybe it will stick this time. I (Bridget) am retiring at the end of June 2021 and am looking to up my quilting time and my Quaker records time. I’d like to document the quilting here a bit. And perhaps the other also. (Quilting pictures are prettier.) This is the second… Continue reading Waking up this blog, again

She’ll do almost anything for a stick. You can see in the background that we painted the house yellow. I… Continue reading Long time gone. . . . and update
Quilting words!
I was looking around for a focus for my next quilt — a quilt to celebrate my mom-in-law’s new room — when I ran across Tonya’s work on Word Play Quilts. I’m having fun! I have 3 words done so far and have another 3 in the planning stages. And I have a nice panel… Continue reading Quilting words!
Memorial quilt for Coder
Part of my mourning for Coder has included making a memorial quilt in his honor. I made a small quilt when our cat Squeaky passed away and felt that it was good for me to do that. Coder’s quilt is still a work in progress, but the top itself is done. I just have to… Continue reading Memorial quilt for Coder
