About Me

Well, well, well, Brian and Tara asked me to write a blog for the Quilted-Connections online store – what was he thinking.  I have no idea what I am doing and how to start this new venture. I am by no means a writer, so please excuse the grammar and punctuation.  I’m also not a great picture taker either – so please excuse that too.  Thanks much.

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Vernita Dailey and I am one of the Lansing gals that met Brian and Tara a few years back.  What an inspiration they both are to me and my sewing.  Quilting, or should I say piecing a quilt is my passion. Someone said to me not too long ago, “wish I had a passion for something like you do”.  And I told her that it was just something I love to do.

 I owned a small quilt shop here in Lansing many moons ago and met some ladies that I still keep in close contact with.  The shop had mostly counted cross stitch and a little fabric.  I had always sewed since a little girl, but never really made anything except the normal clothes and such.  A dear friend really got me into quilting once my first granddaughter was born.  She said that Lindsey needed a quilt, and so it goes.  She is now almost 20 and my quilting has become obsessive.  I wish I had taken a picture of all the quilts that I’ve made, but I didn’t.  The joy of wrapping up in my favorite is something to hold on to forever. 

I am normally a one project gal, but that has changed a bit.  I really like the process of picking out the pattern and fabric, organizing it all to sew and then watching it all come together. Then I can move on to the next project.  As we continue on with this venture, you will see different ways to organize along with the progress of what I’m working on for the shop and maybe for myself.

Both Brian and Tara have been very patient with me, because if I like something, I can get excited.   Like the one I’m working on now.  I’m designing this quilt from start to finish and loving the process.  Hope you will join in on the end result. 

To start this blog thing off, you’ll see bits and pieces of the one I’m working on now for Quilted-
Connections.  Just trying to inspire you all.  It is a fun project, so stay tuned, for there is more to come…

Talk soon,

Vernita
