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...

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-Batting, Which One Will I Choose?
We are nearing the time when you will be getting your quilt ready to quilt. That means that you have to make some choices about batting. First of all, just what is batting. Batting is the middle layer of the quilt that provides warmth and comfort that...

LaRueSews-Quilts-Hand quilting, It’s Personal!

LaRueSews-Quilting-Straighten Up!
