My Great-Great Grandmother’s Quilt This quilt was a gift to my mother from her Great Grandmother. And then a Gift to me from My Mother. Making it my, GREAT-GREAT Grandmother’s Gift to ME ! Well…That’s how I like to look at it.
I never met her and my mom only remembered helping with the peddle sewing machine. I use this quilt and love sleeping under it. It goes in the washer and now living here in Florida and not having a clothes line it does go it the dryer….Yes… it bothers me too, but…. the colors are still very bright, but the Florida sun won on these photo’s.
It’s fun for me to draw quilt blocks out on graph paper. They make me happy and I love the other ideas it sparks as I do them. This is one of my quilt blocks.
This is Husband’s Fish Quilt block.

Making dreams into reality… one quilt block and reading at a time! I used this book ever month and it’s my daily reading now.
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that I write in almost every book I own. I underline passages, jot down thoughts in the margins, and ask myself questions.
When I opened Stitched Into the Story again this year, I realized I wanted more room to do exactly that. I wanted space to write, reflect, pray, and record what God was teaching me.
This book has been a true labor of love, combining 25 daily Scripture readings from the Gospel of Luke, thoughtful journal space for your own reflections, and 25 quilt block patterns that bring the Christmas story to life in a creative and meaningful way.
Whether you’re an experienced quilter or simply someone who enjoys slowing down with God’s Word, I hope this book becomes part of your Christmas tradition. Read a little each day, write what God places on your heart, and stitch together beautiful quilt blocks that will remind you of the journey. And yes… there’s a special Christmas quilt block to complete all 25 patterns!

Let’s Make a Log Cabin Quilt, My New Quilt Pattern
Hi friends,
It feels good to sit down and write this. The past little while has been… different and slower than I planned. Life has a way of doing that.
I’ve still been sewing a quilt, I started a gift quilt. All the pieces cut and moments here and there that I could turn the sewing machine on and breathe a little better. Most days were full, some days were heavy, and most days I just needed rest. But moments with my hands, quilt pattern and time, priceless.
Husband went into to have stents they couldn’t do them, had a stroke waking up, staying in hospital until open heart 6 days later, 6 days in ICU for a total of 20 days in the hospital. That is the short brief notes, but I cannot go there with it all yet. He is better daily and two months in I have finally slept a complete night. And yes, both our minds and hearts had a terrible time stepping forward, see why below.
My Etsy shop number and sales are so off and I try not to worry about them…with me that is hard, just can’t do it all. But that too will have to be. See all I do
Make a Log Cabin Quilt
“Let’s Make a Log Cabin Quilt”
I had a quilt started and over the last few months, completed it and I want to share it with you all. It’s Grand #3”s graduation quilt. I have done it as a PDF at my Etsy Shopand an eBook, simpler for me to do right now.
A Little About My New Book, 6 different Log Cabin quilt block variations

A quilt layout finishing at 88” x 104”
Step-by-step cutting and piecing instructions
Clear layouts and guidance (like I always do for you)
It’s designed so you can:
Follow it exactly…
Or mix, match, and make it your own. Because no two quilts and no two quilters are ever the same.
Quilting waits for us
The fabric doesn’t rush. The patterns do not disappear. And when we come back, it feels like coming home. Just one strip. One block.
One quiet hour.
I’m really glad you are here, Husband is here and I am finally settling into a new normal. Thank you, Beth Ann

It feels like the season itself is tapping me on the shoulder saying, “Hey, joy doesn’t have to be loud. It just has to be felt.”
And speaking of joy, we have a Christmas day baby, my husband’s BIG 70th birthday party will be Christmas Eve. Things are ordered and trying to make sure the birthday boy doesn’t try to help lift anything heavier than a cookie.
This week try to remember that steady hearts and small joys matter more than perfect plans. Even in busy or uncertain moments, there is always room for a little light, a little hope, and a little grace.
This week has been a mix of real life and holiday sparkle at our house. Husband had a heart procedure on December 4th, the Watchman. It’s called a New Routine Procedure…But, it is SO scary…
I feel grateful for modern medicine, grateful for good doctors, and grateful for every person who has checked in, prayed, or simply sent a kind thought our way.
He is already to run a marathon. I keep reminding him that walking from the recliner to the kitchen is plenty of cardio for now. But he’s doing wonderfully, and our standard line from all his Doctors as they walk into see him is, “You look good!” it never fails and I love seeing him smile when I say it… at inappropriate times ! He is over the top in the looks department.
Not a lot of quilt going on here, so I pulled one of my favorites of my quilt blocks of you today! Click the link below or HERE
