BE ENCOURAGED AND INSPIRED BY INDIANA QUILTER 40 - I want to share my passion with you

Visit this blog to be inspired, encouraged, and learn more about quilting. I want to inspire you on your journey of quilting.

Quilting is not rocket science, it is a learn-able and do-able activity for the average person.  Your quilts don't have to be perfect but the journey to a completed quilt should make you happy.  My first several quilts were truly a learning process (crooked seams, unmatched corners, fabric upside down, puckers, poor color choices, and numerous small frustrations just to name a few) but each project was better and I learned something. I don't always consider my quilts "perfect" but they are well made and I enjoy the finished quilt and the journey that produced it.

This blog came about  10 years ago because a quilting buddy and I  only get to see each other in September each year. So we each started a blog so we could keep up on each other's projects.  It has been fun.  When I  realized that other people were looking at my blog I wanted to share not only the finished projects, but also tips, quilting books and just things I learn with each project and hope to share with other quilters.


I love to quilt. It is a rare day that I do not do something quilt related. I even drag along a quilt magazine or some small project to work on during breaks at work. I spend a lot of time traveling with my job and there is some project stuck in my bag to work on in the hotel at night.

TRIANGLES EVERYWHERE

Triangles Everywhere - I pieced this during 2016-2017. I was trying to use up a certain pile of scraps and after 8 blocks got bored with the project.  So I decided to put a homespun square in the center.  The sashing and posts are another homespun, and the border is another. With the empty square I could showcase hand quilting or do some applique.

It is all 100% cotton fabrics. Unless I decide to add something else to it to make it bigger, it will remain 70" square.
