Toni Ann's room

Our niece, Toni Ann, is decorating a room using black,white and red to highlight her houndstooth covered chair. She has two of the three quilts completed. We love the look and her decorating sense.

roll or zip That Bag!

When you need a bag just take it out of your purse. Pattern includes two different zippered outside measurment bags but same size bags when opened or a roll up Velcro closure bag. You can decide which one fits your purse.

On the Hour and Counting

This is a great quilt to teach a child how to count and tell time. On the hour block are numbers to look like dog bones. We used Moda's fabric line Max and Whiskers. The block next to or before the number has the same number of fabrics to correspont to the number. Andee quilted the quilt with clocks telling different times

When Duty Calls

Happy Independance Day. Our proud flag is waving. Andy and Gerry (our parents) are featured in this quilt pattern as we remember why we are celebrating July 4th. Andy is in his military uniform and Gerry holding up her arm muscle and her foot out showing support from the homefront. There are 50 stars each with the two state initials. Remember to thank our men and woman who give us the freedom to do what we do each day of our lives. God Bless America!

Missing Quilt

Have you seen this quilt? It went missing from Holy Comforter Field Home, Cortlandt Manor, NY. All the blocks are plaids. It is machine quilted and has the words "This quilt belongs to Henry John Holmes" or Henry J Holmes, machine quilted towards the bottom of the quilt. Please contact this site if you have any knowledge of it's whereabouts. Thanking you

New Pattern from Spring Market - Happy Shopping

There is nothing worse than having a bottle filled with a liquid or eggs break on the way home from grocery shopping. Well there is but lets not think about what that might be :). These quilted bags are made to help with that problem. Large bag has four holders to keep 2-liter bottles separated and lots of room for groceries. Medium bag has four separations each holding a 1-liter bottle and groceries. Small bag holds six wine bottles. Very small bag holds one wine bottle.

New Pattern from Spring Market - 72 hours

We love the ease in making this quilt. There are 72 hour glass blocks in this quilt.

New Pattern from Spring Market - 8 1/2 Hours

We love the finished look of this quilt. We added a pattern for a pillow case to make it complete.

My father-in-law passed away May 19th. Not only was he a great man and Father to his 4 children but the best father-in-law!

Where have I been?

We moved. Spending to much time getting everything right and not enough time living. So now that I am back among the living...lets see what is new.

Remembering our brother Bill

Our brother Bill would have been 66 years old today. He was the oldest of the siblings but I just found this picture of him as a little boy.

The whole collection will be used.

We will be introducing "Andy and Gerry" at Fall Market. This will be another series. The fabric choice should give away some of the pattern. The title is "Andy gives Gerry a Daisey". It is made using Moda's "Dream On" by Urban Chicks.

The whole collection will be used.

This quilt is dedicated to our sister Cheryl Ann. She is the first member of our family to get a doctorate degree. Cheryl recently retired as principal of a high school on Long Island. The quilt is titled "Cheryl Ann's School Days". Made from Moda fabric.
