                                                   "Paper Dolls" www.designsbycozyquarters.com

                                                              Spring 2013!

This is the quilt I am currently working on.  I used a piece of flannel fabric as my viewing board.  I simply taped it to the brick wall to lay out my "Paper Dolls" quilt.  I will be adding 1 1/2" burgundy sashing and a 6" border to make it queen size.  I like my quilts to fit over the sides of the bed quite a bit so it's more like a bed spread instead of a coverlet.

One of my 2013 New Years resolutions was to make kits I've been putting to the side.  I may have to extend this resolution by a few years to complete everything I have stored up, but I'm doing good with the whole thing.  This quilt was purchased at the first Paducah Quilt Show I went to three years ago with my dear friends Roy & Susan Hunter.  I still love it and glad to be working on it finally!

A couple of my other resolutions that are going well are: Only speak encouraging words, love my body the way it is today and exercise regularly.  I'm not at 100% with all this but I am making definite improvements!

News Years 2014: Going Paperless!


Here's my Granddaughters - last October.  The Loves Of My Life along with my wonderful husband of course!  He's cute too!

Of course I spoil them.  This is Cara getting a mouthful of Whip Cream!  Don't tell her Mom or Dad!  Although it wouldn't surprise them for sure!

Life is good here at the Stillman Inn.  Galena is still my most favorite City.  Every season is gorgeous.  We've been doing a lot of upgrades!  I got a new kitchen floor, we've built custom cabinets for the rooms and created better themes.  For example, the Royalty II and III both have a crown, tiara and septor in the room for the guests.  They love wearing their hats to breakfast and it is great fun!  Who knew?

Come see us some time and I'll show you the rest of my quilts!  815 777-0557
