June’s Installment of Project Quilt UFO May sped by, and I am struggling to accept that June is already here. I am barely able to finish my quilt UFO each month. Our warmer temperatures and just the right amount of rain have our grass growing fast. The landscaping will keep me busy for a couple of days each week, so any free time is precious. What Are You Working on This Month? It doesn’t even…
What’s on Your Table for Sunday Sew Day The sunshine streaming through the windows has put me in a creative mood. Today, I am focusing on machine quilting. The music is blaring, and I am dancing along as I quilt. It’s a good thing that my machine glides nicely as I quilt. I love these types of days. Sunday Sew Day is bringing a smile to my face. Where Did February Go? While I enjoy…
Hello, October Quilt UFO – Welcome to my Sunday Sew Day Well, it is that time again – Quilt UFO Buster time. Today’s Sunday Sew Day means it is time for the October number to be drawn.

A Review of Completed Quilts. Looking back at the quilts of 2022, I realize how many projects I completed. However, the process started slowly and not without hiccups. A Quilts in Review post was needed to celebrate the successes. Quilts in Review – New Projects I continued to add projects in 2022: a mystery quilt and a block of the month added in the early months of the year—both of these projects fed my creative…
Quilt Projects Progress! Last month I had a goal to make progress on quilt projects. So, I have made some progress over the past month on my quilt projects with a little help from a friend. I am enjoying a new to me Juki tl2010q with a Grace Q Zone Hoop Frame. I found this little gem for a great price on Facebook Marketplace. This is a small but mighty set-up. I don’t have space…
Welcome to Quilting With Tamara There is so much more to quilting than picking out a pattern. Each quilting skill builds upon the next and therefore important to learn the foundation skills. It takes practice and a willingness to learn a few basic techniques. Let’s throw some patience in there too! I continue to learn. Quilts, fabrics, and even quilting tools inspire me – well, almost any tool, as you will see. There are fundamental…
Mystery Quilts were what got me started way back in the ’90s. Now for a bit more about my quilt design process and how I started designing quilts, specifically mystery quilts. It was a long and often bumpy road, but so worth the journey. I am showing my age, but I might as well celebrate it. I started my quilt business in 1999. That was when I felt that I could do something with my…

The truth is, I am usually writing and rewriting for days until the post finally comes together. I appreciate your patience as I get back into the swing of posting again. As I begin, I will only scratch the surface of what is behind Quilting With Tamara. You…
