I am planning on entering the War of 1812 Quilt Challenge. Here are pertinent websites:

These historical pieces are serving as my inspiration:

Winterthur Museum Item #1958.0108

Circa 1810-1813

International Quilt Study Center & Museum Item #2007.034.0001

Circa 1790-1810

International Quilt Study Center & Museum Item #2008.040.0182

Circa 1790-1810

I did not discover this quilt until after completion of my project, but I am including it because it includes the fabric on which I based my piece.

NM Block of the Month

January 6

The Quilts Ole New Mexico Centennial Block of the Month quilt is the top secret project I have been working on for the last several months. It is currently being worked on by the quilter. It will be unveiled at the shop this coming Saturday during Saturday Sampler.

Here's a sneak peek at some of the blocks for the New Mexico block of the month I will be teaching the second Saturday of every month at 1:00 pm at Quilts Ole.

These are the latest additions to my rendition of the Saturday Sampler at Quilts Ole.

I have four blocks completed for the Quilt Works Block of the Month.

I finished all the blocks for my brother's wedding quilt. I don't care to talk about how it's been over a year since the big event.

I've put together the blocks for the 2010 Saturday Sampler.

All the borders are on my Ombre Shadow quilt, and it's ready to be pinned.

Looking at this one, all I have to say is...oops!

I finished adding borders to the Thimbleweeds Spring Retreat strip quilt.

This one still needs to be quilted.

My superstar student, Sharon Kirkman, finished the quilt I demonstrated.
