My Quilt Pattern – Crazy Man

Free Quilt Block Pattern

This is one of those quilt blocks that looks like there is a LOT going on, but once you break it down piece by piece, it really isn’t complicated at all, from my Crazy Man Quilt Pattern.

That’s one of my favorite things about quilting—sometimes the finished block looks much harder than it actually is. Give this block a try. Make it your way, have some fun with it, and remember, it’s only fabric!  

Finished quilt block is eight inches by eight inches.

Stitched into The Story with 25 Quilt Block Patterns

Prepare Your Heart for The Holiday

Stitched into The Story with
25 Quilt Block Patterns to Make

The moment I learned my Lesson:

Watching my husband go through open heart surgery changed me in ways I never expected. Suddenly, the things that once seemed urgent weren’t important at all. A quiet morning, our daily walk, laughing together, sharing a simple meal, or just sitting on the lanai without saying much are the moments I have learned to treasure the most.

I put this book together for myself last year and added it to my store. But I opened it one VERY long night in February, day 4 of ICU and it helped. I read all the reading, I had made all the quilt blocks (out of bed I came) and stood with them in my hands and cried !

That 3 am cry, made me slow it all down, I try to worry less and I have read this book every day since. To me it’s about loving more, noticing more, and being thankful for the gift of another ordinary day.

If you’re looking for a quieter, more meaningful way to prepare your heart for Christmas, (or daily) I’d love to share the little book that helped me through one of the hardest seasons of my life.

Stitched into the Story with 25 Quilt Block Patterns

Stitched into The Story with Quilt Block Patterns

This December, (or anytime)  you’re invited to slow down and step into something meaningful — one shortened chapter of Luke each day, about a paragraph, paired with a quilt block you can stitch or save for later. DO one thing for yourself this holiday season, do this! 

Read the daily readings of the Book of Luke and make a quilt block, or save for later, from The Quilt Ladeis.

Quilt block from my Book of Luke daily reading, with space for writing, ideas and complete how to quilt block patterns.

From December 1st through Christmas Eve, you’ll follow the story of Jesus’ birth and ministry in 24 short, approachable reflections (just 3-4 paragraphs each). And because Christmas is worth one more moment of peace, I’ve included a special December 25th bonus reading and quilt block.

Stitched into the Story with Quilt Blocks

Each day brings:

  • A Scripture Reflection — simple, heartfelt, and easy to read, even on busy days.

  • A Quilt Block Pattern — complete and ready to use, perfect for beginners and seasoned quilters alike.

    Morning Star Quilt Block – 12″ x 12″
    Announcing hope and new beginnings, a shining star in the dawn.
    Elizabeth is barren and aging. Zechariah is faithful yet doubtful. Mary is young, unknown, and about to become the mother of God. Luke opens with promises, angels, silences, and songs. At its heart is a whisper of hope long delayed, now fulfilled.

A Perfect Quilt Block

Blue and White Quilt Block to Make

This quilt block from The Ladies Quilt Pattern Book has taken on a life of it’s on Pinterest ! Who would have thought this little star quilt ?!?!  So here is it again !

I love seeing which quilt blocks catch your eye. Sometimes it’s a block I never expected to be a favorite—and then Pinterest takes over! That’s one of the things I love about quilting. A simple little block can become something completely different depending on the fabrics, colors, and quilter making it.

With 68 different blocks to choose from, you can make The Ladies Quilt as shown in the book, pick a few favorites for a smaller quilt, make pillows or table runners, or simply work your way through the blocks one at a time.
And if Pinterest has taught me anything, it’s this: Never underestimate a good little quilt block!

All the quilt blocks stitched together, a quilt design (finished quilt measures 76″ x 84″ ) and that’s what became
“The Ladies” Quilt Pattern Book.

Something for Me – I Painted

It’s all About Me !

Been a bit since it’s been about ME ! Caregiving is hard and you seem to not matter much. Nights are SO long and days even longer. But, we are seeing a bit of light.  So, with Husband doing PT, 3 times a week and me doing the driving. I usually read and wait but last week I dropped him and did some shopping. This was 40% off and I went back around the store to get it as I had an idea !  Do my flowers, stitches and hang it on our front door. I pulled out all my acrylic paint, markers, brushes, water and covered the dining room table. I have to say, it made me happy !

It had flower outlines and I used them, added me !

Getting base coats down

I use paint for my lines most the times, but used both this time, brush and paint markers….different?!?!
