Continue reading →: Delivery dayYesterday, it was finally time to deliver my collection of items to From The Heart. Once I emptied the closet, I realized that it’s been about a year since I last donated items. I had a lot of things! They don’t require, and probably don’t want, plastic bags, but it…

Continue reading →: The houses are done!I finished all of the houses yesterday! This photo doesn’t show them off well, but trust me, they are all done. I think the straight line pattern works well with the fabrics. I used 13 colors of thread. Choosing colors was the most fun part. I’m pretty sure that a…

Continue reading →: Finally something differentI haven’t used the longarm since July, so I was very happy to load 2 veterans quilts yesterday. What a nice change of pace!

Hello,
I’m Vicki
I’m Vicki Welsh and I’ve been making things as long as I can remember. I used to be a garment maker but transitioned to quilts about 20 years ago. Currently I’m into fabric dyeing, quilting, Zentangle, fabric postcards, fused glass and mosaic. I document my adventures here.
