We are 5 cousins originally from Festus Missouri, who share a love of quilting! We hope to share our quilting designs, tips, and patterns with each other and blog viewers. I only recently started quilting about two years ago, although I have been sewing for about 50 yrs. I had no idea it would become so addicting. What I love the most about quilting is that every quilt I make is a unique work of art that is designed for a specific person or persons in mind. I have put together a binder that has a picture of each quilt along with details about the person or persons I made the quilt for and where I got my inspiration for their quilt. I took a quilt class about a year and a half ago and the quilt that we made in class was by no means a beginning quilt. The pattern was a Jelly Bargelly and there were times I was ready to pitch it in the trash can. My sister Barb encouraged me to keep going on it and it turned out beautiful. It was doing this quilt that I learned one of the most important rules of quilting; be very precise when cutting your fabric strips. I also learned that no quilt is perfect but all are beautiful.
