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 I am indeed a writer, if given a topic. The computer...

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 as three years. We have grown closer as time has gone...

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 I need for the project. Let me rephrase that . . ...

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. After attending the ATG Community Circle, and meeting Pat Snyder, she also requested the subject. My daughter, has asked me also to write about her Dad...

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...

LaRueSews-Quilting-Straighten Up!

In beginning this blog, I realized that I need to back track and talk about something I left out some time ago. You really need to straighten the fabric before you begin any project. That doesn’t include quilting alone. It includes any kind of sewing. Because of the nature of woven fabric, preparing...
