Welcome!

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by my shop. I'm Sarah, a young lady who loves the Lord and loves making quilts! I've been sewing for as long as I can remember- probably since I was 7 or 8 years old. I think back to some of my earlier creations and laugh! :) About eight years ago I made my first quilt, tracing my own pattern from a quilt on my parents' bed. I was so intrigued with their quilt and I would sit and stare at it, loving how all the pieces fitted together perfectly to form the different blocks that made up the quilt. Then one day I decided to trace the pieces on their quilt and make my own. So, I made my first quilt and I haven't stopped since! :) It just pushes my happy button SOO much to work with fabric and turn it into a lovely quilt.

My Personal History Quilt

Several years ago, I made a personal history quilt. To explain, every quilt block has a name (Eyes of Blue, Dutchman's Puzzle, Sister's Choice, etc...), and to make a personal history quilt you choose the blocks that talk about you- your personality, favorite things, family, past. It is really a neat thing!! And it is not just the block names that make it personal; a lot of the fabric I used was from quilts I've made, old dresses and skirts that Mom made me and my sisters, and just fabric scraps I've always loved! So, I thought it would be fun to show y'all my personal history quilt, and let you know a little more about me through some of the names of the blocks in my quilt! 
This was also my first quilt to do free-motion quilting on! I had a lot of fun learning and practicing those skills, and I even stitched what year I made it on one of the blocks. That is something that's special to me about this quilt!

    I just found your blog through the TFK magazine! What a neat idea of a personal history quilt! I had never heard of that, but then I'm not a quilter (though I love genuine patchwork quilts) I really like the royal isle square, It's probably my favorite. I also like American beauty and sister's choice. We have Scottish ancestry too.
