Welcome!




This is my own little spot to post quilty related things. I am going to start up some block directions soon and thought that it would be better not to put all my stuff all over the family blog. Plus since I am not real computer saavy, this seemed easier than trying to figure out how to upload documents and add URLs and whatnot. It saves some steps. Less is more, right?
As you might have noticed on the family blog, I do have a couple of links to websites with free block patterns. I will put them on here too so you can go there from here. I really recommend the Quilts Galore website. They have a TON of block instructions and lovely music playing in the background. Easy to print out and colorful too. Very nice. Also, over on About.com, there is a nice lady's blog with instructional videos on quilting techniques and lots of good information. Her address is http://quilting.about.com/ if you want to go there. If I come accross anymore websites I will pass them along.
Well, for now I am going to try to get a plan going for a block-of-the-month pattern. It may take me a bit to get my stuff together, plus we have some vacation time up ahead, but check back in a few weeks to get started with us. Until then, get your supplies ready, head to a fabric store and we'll see you in September.
