• 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.

• LaRueSews-Quilt-By Request, My Woodworker

• LaRueSews-Quilting-Quarter Inches to Heirlooms.

  To begin this time, I want to relate a very “telling” experience. This experience told me that you very well can become a really good quilter if only you practice, practice, practice. My husband and I went to my daughter’s house last...

• Quilters and Machine Embroiderers - Their Common Threads

  I've been invited to Blog about quilting for ATG. I’ve used LaRueSews as a nickname because I do all kinds of sewing.
