• LaRueSews-Quilts-All Wrapped up

  LaRueSews-All Wrapped up Writing this BLOG for Ann the Gran.com has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. It has taught me that I can expand myself and my knowledge far beyond the things I have done before. I have learned that...

• LaRueSews-Quilts--Major Project Finished!

  Some of you may remember that I have been working on a complicated project. I called it my "1,000 year project" when I began in 2003. Well, I am 993.5 years ahead of schedule. I finished it after having surgery on my hand in March. Here it is...

• LaRueSews-Quilts-Did You Needle Turn Today?

  I just finished a dress for a friend this week. I seem to have a hard time getting to my quilting projects. Saying “yes” to too many things besides quilting keeps me from doing what I love most. Right now I have at least five quilts in progress... Posted Apr 30 2010, 04:30 PM by LaRueJ with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: sewing, freezer paper, BOM, Block of the Month, applique

• LaRueSews-Quilts-TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!

  This Blog is a week later than it should be because I have been on the mend from a little surgery that I had three weeks ago. I had a trigger finger on my right middle finger. That is a very important finger for me because it is my “needle-pusher”...

• LaRueSews-Quilts--Quilter, Quilter, Who Are You?

  My quilt guild, called Memory Makers Guild was just a little over the top today. The guild is a small group, but what it lacks in numbers, it makes up for in talent. I’ve known most of these ladies for at least a year, and some of them, as much...

• The Project Gone Wrong

  AAAHHHH! Christmas Time-It’s a wonderful time of year when we all rush around, from one party to another. Rushing the kids to their parties, and activities, while planning for the cookies we will bake when we get enough time. We spend hours, thinking...

• LaRueSews-Quilts-Be Your Own Judge

  This has been a busy month. We recently went to Nashville again to sign a contract on a Motor Home that we saw last month. It’s like new, though used, and really beautiful. We will get it the first week of December. Also, my sewing machine has been...

• LaRueSews-Quilts-Beads are Fun Too, a 30 minute project

  Hi there EveryBuddy. Three weeks has come and gone, again. Blogging time is here. I hope that all of you have been diligently making the last block I gave you in LaRueSews BOM. This time it will be a quick one, both BLOG and block. I have been out of...

• LaRueSews-Quilts, Spuds in a Bag

  It’s Chilly here in Alabama today. That is to say, rainy 70 degrees feels cold compared with 90+ degrees. This has been a frustrating day. I have a little project that I wanted to talk about this time. However, I’ve lost the special ruler...

• LaRueSews-Quilts EXPERIENCE, not best teacher

  Hello there, everyone. First, I want to tell you the reason for the title of this BLOG. Monday, I did exactly what I’ve been telling you all this time NOT TO DO. I cut MY finger with the rotary cutter. Yup! I did it. I am glad to say that it’s...

• LaRueSews-Your Wish Is My Command

  Hi Everyone. It’s been a few weeks since I met you here at LaRueSews-Quilts. I’ve taken a little time off to re-group, rest and plan. Now as you asked, it’s time to announce the LaRueSews Block of the Month. I will go along with the...
