Songbirds

You may have seen the Baltimore Oriole on my home page. It is one of my newest quilt/wallhanging patterns. We have not gotten it on the shopping cart because we had a hard drive problem so if you would like to order it, just e-mail me at garkens@quiltsnstuff.net.

A Brown Thatcher is also included with the Oriole pattern. That's the shape bird I had in my head when I started the bird patterns but I just couldn't make one bird.

On the next blog I will show you the Cardinal and the Scarlet Tanager.

Welcome to My New Blog!

Hi Quilters!

I'm Glenna Arkens and I own a small quilting shop and I design quilt patterns under the name "Quilts 'n Stuff by Glenna." This is a picture of me last summer at my friend Sally Zimmer's Quilt Show she held outside on their forested property. I dressed for the occasion.

Customers love my shop. It is in a 120 year old house and the first 3 rooms are the shop. I feature batiks and I'm always making new patterns and changing things around so you'll see something new every time you come in.

My web site has just been revamped by my friend Amber Lippold who has a web site where you can build quilts-it's great. Check it out. So she suggested I start this blog so you can see what I have done in the past and what I am doing new.
