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.

LaRueSews-Quilts-Binding Isn’t the End

The subject matter this time is probably one of the “testiest” that I have approached. We are nearing the end of making a quilt from start to finish. Adding the bind is the best part, right up to stitching down the binding on the back. The photos I am using were made while I was finishing...

The Prom, the Purse and the Lady

Last time we met here, I left you with two photos that I said I would Identify when I came back from my little sojourn from the BLOG. Here’s some answers for you.

LaRueSews-Quilt-By Request, My Woodworker

I am taking a little turn in the road this time. Before Greg left AnnTheGran, he requested that I write a blog about Ralph and his woodworking skills.

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

If you have worked along with me, you will soon need to decide if you will quilt by hand or by machine. I have a friend who began quilting a little more than a year ago. As we talked, one day, I asked how she planned to do her quilting. She quickly said, “by machine.” That’s OK. I never...
