I was raised by women who took great pride in their domestic prowess. My mother could put together a spread of enough homemade food to feed an army in less than an hour and all of it would look, taste, and smell delicious. My grandmother could crochet beautiful and complicated afghans while carrying on lengthy conversations and loose her stitch count. And my great grandmother, she was a quilter. Her name was Elizabeth and even though she is my namesake I have spent most of my life content ... View the Post
A Comfort Quilt.
Recently I made a comfort quilt for a friend who is going through quite a health scare in her life. And although I don't know her super well, I have been so impressed with how she is handling her struggles. I feel like I was in her situation 10 years ago...and I don't know that I was that positive.

She has been so positive and upbeat and is fighting her battles ... View the Post

And I think the best part is that no one will ever know that you made the quilt of out scraps....they look fantastic. ... View the Post
Valentine “I Love you because…” Quilt
I have had this idea in my head for a couple of years to do a Valentine's quilt for the family. And not just any Valentine Quilt--a quilt that we could pass around for the month of February to show each other how much we love every member of our family. So, the Valentine Quilt finally came about this year. And albeit super close to Valentine's Day, I am hoping that we can still use it for the whole month. Here's how it works in our house: ...

Plus Quilt
I actually was working on this quilt at the end of last summer, but it slipped through the cracks when school started and the craziness also started. But it feels good to get another work in progress completed and done! ... View the Post
