I've owned my quilt shop since 1990, specializing in antique reproduction fabrics. Made my first quilt in 1976 which greatly reduced my sewing of clothing! Would like to find more time to SEW.......maybe when I retire? Am married to a farmer, have 3 children and 4 grandchildren who are the light of my life!!! And now there are 3 great-grandchildren and another due in January 2019!

Crossroads to Texas
This fabric came mid-summer but I have been too busy/tired to update my blog.....am hoping that all obligations will be done after the weekend of Oct 22/23 when I vend at my local PTQG chapter's quilt show! Sure looking forward to Nov and hunkering down for the winter and some serious Me Time Sewing and Reading! Crossroads has a wonderful Cheater (aka Printed Patchwork) as does many other collections recently. Stay tuned and I will try to show you a collection of the cheaters I have accumulated in my shop!
