Made it into QuiltCon 2019!
I’m excited that my “Shirt Off His Back” Quilt was accepted into the Modern Quilt Guild’s “QuiltCon 2019” show in Nashville,TN. It’s the first time an entry of mine has made it into QuiltCon (1 out of 10 quilts I’ve submitted to this show over the past 3 years.) I...
Scrap Mania
Keeping to my resolution in 2018 to sew with what I have, recycle where possible, finish WIPs or planned projects - but not to buy new fabric! - I've been plowing through my Kona Cotton stash and making these color bar blocks. "Making things to make things" as I told...
American Patriot: Words Matter

The Shirt Off His Back
My New Year's Resolution for 2018 was not to buy any new fabric and to focus on creating with only what I have on hand. I've mostly kept to that - and one that fills the bill is this one made from my husband's shirts. As we were cleaning out our garage he found a...
New bedspread!
Well, it's not ACTUALLY new - almost a year ago I started to draft this post and realized I never hit publish. I have been remiss by not keeping up on the QuiltingintheFog.com blog, opting to use Instagram as my preferred way to track my work. Anyhoo - I adore this...
