There’s something a little funny about starting a holiday quilt when the weather doesn’t match the season at all, but that’s exactly why we do it.
Quilting isn’t just about the finished piece; it’s about giving yourself time. When you start now, you’re not rushing in November, not scrambling in December, you’re enjoying the process one block at a time. A holiday quilt made slowly holds more than fabric… it holds the quiet moments, the steady stitching, and the peace of not being in a hurry.
And truthfully, this quilt over the back of my couch this past December and it greeted me every time I walked in the living room…priceless. Not to discount the mug of hot chocolate, a book to read, a moment of family curled up to enjoy the holiday, under YOUR Holiday Quilt That’s what you will give yourself and family in this HOLIDAY quilt. You will become the maker of an all-time favorite at your house. Perfect for a holiday snuggle on the couch or made in any colors for day to day cuddles. Holiday Quilt Pattern features TWELVE – Twelve by Twelve Inches quilt pattern blocks and they are made into a 62″ x 78″ quilt.
Quilt shown in traditional red and green, but this quilt would be wonderful with a dark blue background, white and yellow blocks, let yourself have fun.
This quilt is a gift quilt for a Grand graduating. I made and worked on it when Husband was getting better and the moments I needed to step away in the same house. SO

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

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

Quilt Block of the WeekThis weeks Quilt Block Pattern is all about it’s name, “Old Maid” finished size is 8″ by 8″ How I make my triangles tutorial is here.
I think this quilt block needs a name change to, “Powerful Women” but I don’t have a lot of pull in the quilt history area ! It’s a Great Quilt Block
This is what I worked on the past few weeks and this past week add Thanksgiving into it too ! ! My Secretary Hutch for our kitchen ! ! and I love it.
This old secretary desk came to me tired, faded, and a little wobbly ($50). Over the past two weeks, I’ve sanded, glued, repaired, cleaned, and finally painted it back into something that makes me smile every time I walk into my kitchen. It’s amazing how a little love, a little patience, and a lot of elbow grease can completely transform a piece.
I know some don’t like painted wood, this wood was not the best, pieced together a bit, I saved what I could and had a ball painting the rest. This project is the largest I have done since my library and it has reminded me how satisfying it is to slow down and bring furniture piece back to life.
Yes, I hand painted the back, it’s on art paper so IF
I want later, I can change it
I think this is what we do with our Quilts,
The most ordinary things become extraordinary the moment we decide they’re worth saving. This week, look at what’s already around you with new eyes and find joy in bringing a little beauty back to life.

We returned from a five-day cruise last week, one of those you do and I can’t stop thinking about. It was with three other couples, our heart friends, and let me tell you… sometimes the best vacations are the ones that don’t go exactly the way you expect. The weather had its own agenda, the sea a bit rumbly, and instead of hopping off at multiple ports like we planned, we made only one stop. But you know what? It turned into one of the most unexpectedly lovely cruise trips we’ve had in a long time.
When the waves got rough, we settled in. Our days were filled with long, slow stretches of cards and games, the kind where everyone slowly gets more competitive but also laughs harder. The kind where someone always needs “just one more round,” even though we’ve been playing for hours. We leaned into it, letting the simple fun carry us.
Evenings were for lingering at the dinner table far longer than usual. The conversations began flowing like an extra course, filling the corners of the table with stories, memories, and that easy kind of friendship that only happens when nobody is rushed. We talked about everything and nothing, laughed until we cried, and soaked in the kind of connection that busy everyday life rarely leaves room for. Only for unexpected joy, good friends, and the kind of days that don’t need a schedule to be wonderful.
