Hoot Hoot





Snowy cold weather again...perfect though for making quilts. I am really getting cabin fever though! Can not wait for spring! Thank goodness for seed catalogs!!!

Anyways ~ I started my new Hoot! Hoot! quilt. Its going together nicely. I love this line made up of cool blues, greys, and cream. With just a hint of chocolate brown, red, orange and yellow. Has darling little owls, birds and trees. Plus some awesome dots, plaids and other non-busy patterns. Plus I have thread that matches the main blue color perfectly! I bought it online for another project, but it did not match it. Looks great with this line though!

Will keep you posted on the new Hoot! Hoot! Heirloom Quilt Throw. Have a nice day!

More Detail on Heirloom Quilts.







Just a little more information on my new heirloom quilts. Pictures show:
~ The rich chocolate brown back showing on the Meadowsweet Throw
~ Close up of the double stitching on seams
~ decorative zigzag stitching around the edge of quilt
~ picture of paper sent with every rag quilt with name of quilt, description, date sold, heirloom quilt number and my signature

~ A little reminder that I also except payments on quilts. For instance, the Meadowsweet Heirloom Throw is $398.00, I will divide the price by 3 = $132.66. So for 3 months I will set up a custom listing for $132.66. On the last payment I will also add the shipping cost, and when the final payment is made I will ship the quilt! Just send me a convo through etsy and I will set up a custom listing for you.~

Meadowsweet and Castle Peeps.





Sneak peeks at my two latest quilts that will be listed Sunday or Monday. I reeeallly like the Meadowsweet quilt! This one will be hard to put in the shop to sell. I love the rich chocolate brown used for the entire back that shows through to the front, giving it a nice solid brown throughout the quilt. Up next is Its a Hoot by MoMo. This fabric is super cute and I know it will be a new favorite. Check back for updated progress and sneak peeks before I list them in my shop. Have a great day! Past Traditions

New Heirloom Collection.



New Heirloom Rag Quilt Collection!!!

I am really excited about my new Heirloom Collection! Heirloom Collection Quilts feature...
~ designer fabric
~ quality thread
~ exclusive design - no two quilts will ever be the same
~ double stitching on all seams
~ paper with quilt name, description, date, number and signed by me
~ tied with ribbon, jute or fabric
~ wrapped in tissue paper
~ washing instructions
~ shipped by Priority Mail with delivery conformation and/or tracking number on every single order. Once shipped I will send you a conformation convo giving you delivery conformation and/or tracking number so you can keep track of your new quilt from the post office until it reaches your door!

I hope you enjoy this new product line as much as I do. Plus the security of always knowing when its mailed and where its location is until it reaches your house.

Each quilt is carefully planned out and has its own pattern. We recently got about 6 to 8 inches of snow. Perfect weather for staying inside and working on a quilt! That is exactly what I did with the latest Heirloom Quilt I am working on featuring the Meadowsweet line. Look for this quilt around the 15th of January. I had so much fun working on this quilt. Went together easy and beautifully. I am really happy with the results. Check my etsy shop often. My next projects will be featuring Meadowsweet 2 and Its a Hoot by MoMo. I adore both of these lines!!! Past Traditions
