I’m going to try and update this more often. If you would like to see pictures of my latest creations I suggest going to beyondquilts.etsy.com I also have a Facebook page where you can find some fan photos of my quilts in action at beyond quilts. Enjoy exploring. I’ll get the hang of this one of these days.

Bibs. How did I begin making adult bibs? At a craft show last year a customer commented on the baby bibs I had for sale and said that if I made adult bibs she would buy one….and so it began… The adult bibs have been a very popular item this year, 29 have sold so far. I get a kick out of the comments I get at craft shows when people first see the sign - Adult Bibs “I know someone who could use one of those!” But they were popular there,too. Many people get them for their parents. When I told my mom I was making them last year, she had me bring her some when I went to visit them in January. I’ve also had a special order from someone working with special needs adults. It’s a privilege to meet people through Beyond Quilts and work with them to get the product they need.
I promise to do a better job of keeping this blog up to date, now that updating it is not such a mystery. Stay tuned!

One down, two to go!
The Beyond Quilts booth at the craft show this weekend got a bit of a face lift with the addition of 6 foot tall wire shelves to display pillows and blankets. I decided to sell some of my husband’s (“M”) homemade kolatchkies and they sold like the proverbial hotcakes the first day.
The show was held in a middle school and I had the same space as before, right inside of the side doors in the cafeteria. It was a good crowd and enjoyed catching up with some of the familiar faces of the neighboring crafters seen last year at the same show.
Next weekend is a big craft show in Valparaiso, IN at the Porter County Expo Center. The dates for the Holidaze Arts And Craft Show are November 21-22 and will be open 10 am - 5 pm the first day and only until 4 pm the next.
I’m going to work on a few custom orders some of the visitors to my booth requested when I didn’t have exactly what they wanted. It’s hard to tell just how many of my creations are finding new homes when there’s always something new to take up the empty space! I’m like a machine!
If you didn’t get the chance to come out and see me this weekend then I hope to see you in Valpo or at the Lincoln Center on 2450 Lincoln Street, Highland, IN from November 29-30th.
And if you can’t make it to any of the holiday shows you can always shop for I-Spy quilts, doll blankets and more at my Etsy store.
