Hi, I’m Laura Wolverton. I’m a working mom. I try to sew when I have spare time, which isn’t often with the 3 kids going every which way. I’ve always enjoyed creative endeavors. I only started sewing several years ago. My mother is a quilter (and quite good). When I finally expressed an interest in sewing, she ran out and bought me a sewing machine. I started out with children’s clothes because I was afraid that a quilt would be really difficult. I made a few things for the kids which turned out pretty nice and one jacket for myself (that was horrible) and decided I was ready to give quilting a try. I tend to jump in head first to challenging projects I have a long list of WIPs and projects that I would like to do. Now, if I only had the right fabric….
I started this blog to document the quilts I make and hopefully be able to look back on my progress. I love the idea of leaving behind a legacy of quilts.
I would love to hear from you. Feel free to seek me out on Instagram too. I’m sffquilter.

thanks for the like! One problem I don’t have is not enough fabric! Loads of it. Just nowhere to put it. Found a website called fabric rehab, which is very apt for me! Good luck with your quilting x

I never thought about “leaving a legacy of quilts” but that is such a profound idea. Just like I really treasure my grandma’s craft works. Thanks for sharing that. It’s really encouraging 🙂

It’s kind of what drew me to quilting.

Hi Laura
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love that you made your hubs a special quilt! I have to confess, I think I’m the worst bee member ever, I’m always late with my blocks! And leaving a legacy of quilts, what a perfect way to describe what we are doing, I’d never thought of it that way.

This is the first year that I have taken part in bees. I probably should have just done one because it seems that is about the only thing I seem to accomplish each month. Oh well, it’s only a year and I should get 2 quilts out of it.
