Quilting has helped me through some difficult times in my life. The quilts I make all have precious tyes in some way.
Welcome to Precious Tyes
I have many passions in life and one of them is quilting. The others are reading, knitting, crochet, cross stitching exercise and being a mom which are all precious tyes to me. This blog will be about all of these things but mainly about quilting and how it is tied into my life. The above wall hanging was designed by me and published into a pattern called Homespun Memories.
My blog is also about my Nifty Fifty Quilting swaps which are 50 state quilt block swaps that I started organizing over 10 years ago when my husband was going through depression. It helped me through a very difficult time. We have swapped over 70,000 quilt blocks during this time with many stories that traveled across the country along with our state quilt blocks. Our groups also make charity quilts for Breast Cancer Awareness.

UFOs
I am hoping my new blog will help keep me motivated in working on my Nifty Fifty Quilts. I have so many still to quilt. Right now I am working on the NF 22 quilt which are state quilt blocks made from Carol Doak's Fab paper-piecing stars.
Thanks Kathleen. I hate machine quilting with black thread. So I am avoiding it. The backing is flannel and it will be great on my bed next winter so I will keep on quilting.
Beautiful fabrics... can't wait to see it quilted.
