Been Busier Than I Thought

Posted on February 12, 2021 by Quiltmouse

I’m a night owl and find my mind being very active in the middle of the night. Recently, laying in bed, my head was filled with the many projects I’ve been working on.

I’ve Got a Quilt in a Contest! #2

Posted on February 8, 2021 by Quiltmouse

It is a contest, but it is also a fund raiser for a great charity. In the Fall, for the past 5 years, I’ve participated in the Project Linus Mystery Quilt Challenge. For a donation of $15 I received clues to create a quilt. Then in February of the following year there is a Contest and this year there are 49 quilts which have been entered. This is the 2nd time I have submitted my quilt to the contest. There are prizes for the quilts that receive the most votes.
