Quilted Pins

Tiny Quilts and a name tag

These are two quilts I made and use as pins. They measure just 3" square!  The name tag is a pin I wear alone or in the center of the quilt pins. "QuiltingGrannie" is the screen name I use on three internet quilt boards I am on.

Quilts come in all sizes

May Basket wall hanging block

Quilts come in all sizes.  This one was a block I made for practice. The quilted stitching was done on my regular sewing machine before I had the Longarm. I figured if I could do that with my sewing machine I could do it with a longarm.  I made two of these and they are hanging in two places in my house.

The beauty that surrounds Quilter's Pantry area

This pic was taken a few years ago, but shows the beauty of the area we live in.  If you are in the area please give us a call and stop in! 
Today is a quilting day in the studio. One is in the Longarm, another quilt being pieced together. 
There are two festivals going on in the area - National Story Telling and the Apple Festival.
Hope you are have a  great day no matter where you are or what you are doing.

Happy Quilting and God Bless.

Photo box pin cushion

This is designed to be a photo box with four sides that hold photos. I transformed it (and others) into a pin cushion!  The lid comes off which makes it handy to also hold broken pins and needles or your supply of needles or your secret stash of chocolate! 

Today I remember my Mom.  It would have been her 87th birthday.  She's been gone since 1990 and I miss her all the time. She never knew I got into quilting, never how thankful I am for her teaching me to sew. She was a seamstress and made all my clothes when I was growing up.  After many years all I wanted was store bought clothes and at one point I remember telling her not to make me anything else.... until I asked her to make my wedding gown!  

Love and miss you Mom! 


Hope you all have a great day!  Remember to cherish the special moments throughout your day.  The moment that just passed---- can never be lived again. The next one --- isn't here yet.  Live in the present - It's God's gift to you.


Happy Quilting !! ♥

Quilter's Pantry view from our deck

Good evening from the deck of Quilter's Pantry.  

It was a busy weekend and a sad weekend. A high school classmate of mine who was a few year younger than me lost her battle with cancer on Sunday.  We had been close in school and had reconnected after many years on facebook a few years ago.  She fought her battle for nearly two years.  She had been a blessing and such an inspiration through all her struggles. Always positive and smiling.  She loved life, God and her family and friends.   I will miss her, but know she no longer is in pain. And someday I'll see her again.  Rest in peace Biz. 

I did spend part of the weekend creating yet another quilt!  Pics will follow as soon as the top is complete.

October arrived with cooler temps and my Christmas cactus must have thouthg it was December. It has nearly 16 buds on it!  Can't wait for the blooms.  


I hope everyone is having a great and blessed week so far.  


Happy Quilting
