I am crazy in love with my new quilt. This one is for ME and I’m tossing that old ugly Lazy Boy quilt for this new, happy, full of joy Dashing Girl quilt.
I’ll be cuddling under my new quilt just as soon as I hit “Publish.”
It’s a good life!
I'm a 49 year old Quilter, Episcopalian
, and Lover of Words. I'm of mixed heritage (1/2 Ozark Hillbilly, 1/2 Southern Belle), I live in the Pacific NW and I love to talk about my family, quilting and country living.
Oh, and I'm SINGLE (in case you're wondering).
I am a freelance writer, outdoors columnist and photojournalist who loves meeting people while they are doing what they love and listening to them talk about their passions.
I live a Creative, Joy-filled Life in love with God, all creation and my neighbor (that means you). It's my vocation. I hope that one day, if I practice long and hard enough, I might get good at it.
I WOULD LOVE for you to leave me a comment or you can send me an email.

The quilt came out great, Kim!! You whipped it out so fast!! I love the front, the back and your photos of it. I hope you are enjoying snuggling under it now and for a long time to come!!

Hello! I am the designer of the quilt pattern you used….it turned out AWESOME…AMAZING!! I love how you used the color. I am so happy you love your quilt! Thank you!!
Thank you for writing the pattern!! The way I used the color allows me to bring the “zing” of bright orange or the sweet comfort of blue closer to my face, depending on my mood. I hope to get my daughter-in-law started in quiltmaking soon and will start with this pattern. It’s perfect for budding quilt artists to get a feel of the arrangement of color and enjoy quick success. AND it’s also perfect for us old hands who have a habit of bringing home beautiful bundles of Bali Pops because we just can’t resist the delicious colors!
