Chain-Link Quilts
Last year a good friend of mine, Kirsten, commissioned 2 quilts for her sons' bunk beds. The boys' requested that the quilts be identical. I decided to go with a pattern called "The Elevator Music Quilt" from the book "Quilting Happiness" by Christina Lane & Diane Gilleland. I'm calling them my chain-link quilts because of the columns they make. Visit my blog to read more about these quilts.

Well, Hello There!
I love quilting and I love following along with quilters. By early 2018, I myself had made a few quilts to sell in my Etsy shop. I began thinking about starting a blog to put myself out there even more and see where this quilty road may lead. It took a whole year of self-encouragement, research, more growth and hard work to actually get it started. But I did it. I have a website, a blog, and a shop, and have listed some of my handmade items for sale. And I’m excited to share even more with you in the future! Come visit and follow along with me on my quilty journey.
