My daughter, Chase, is working on getting the first pattern up for me. Unfortunately, they're without electricity, water and internet right now. I thought maybe you'd like to see the first little quilt. That much I can do... Ugh! This shows the three little blocks in different configurations and colorways.

I just want to let everybody know that we're trying to get the first pattern up. We had Austin's biggest snowstorm ever last night. The power has been going off intermittently and the internet just blipped on for the first time in about 12 hours. Hopefully we'll be able to get it uploaded soon!

The video finally uploaded. It's our first video and totally unprofessional but we're going to try to learn from our mistakes. 😊 This is just a tutorial on how to paper-piece a single block. If you already know how to paper-piece but would like to see a lot of tiny little quilt tops, just fast forward to the last few minutes. Thank you much...all of you who encouraged me to get this done!! The first paper patterns will go up asap! That's my project for this weekend. Here's the link! If it doesn't work properly, please let me know.

I've been sewing miniature quilt blocks since March, getting ready for a quilt show that is still a long way off while we deal with this virus. I was thinking that there might be some of you that would like to make mini quilts as gifts this year but don't have time...so I put together a few sets of little blocks. There are 16 quilt blocks in each set. The blocks are a tiny 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" in size (2" x 2" with the 1/4" seam allowance all around.) If you have friends who are quilters this little stack of blocks would make a great little gift just in themselves or you can sew the blocks together to make a magical little quilt. They are meticulously sewn and trimmed. The blocks you see are the exact blocks you will receive and they'll be in the mail to you immediately after purchase. I'll post pictures in the comments below. If you see a set you like, please just reply under that set with your email address and I'll get your package ready! Wack set of blocks is $19.00. Shipping is $1.85 and I can send up to three sets of blocks for the one mailing cost. Thanks so much. Let me know if you have any questions!
