Welcome to Precious Tyes

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.

More Butterflies

Today so many butterflies arrived at my house by mail!!  These are the sample blocks from our Butterfly swap that came today.   They are so creative and beautiful!!!  I can hardly wait until all the butterflies are here so I can start putting our breast cancer charity quilt together.
