What It Costs

January 24, 2019 Anne Brock

I receive a call or email or message on Facebook asking about having a quilt made. We go back and forth about what they want until I think they’re ready to commit and I schedule a time for the person to come over to my house. Most often they are on time, but sometimes I’m… Continue reading What It Costs

A Recap of Christmas Quilts

January 23, 2019 Anne Brock

Since starting my small business, Quilting Moonbeams, in 2013, I’ve found that my busiest times are the few months leading up to Christmas and the few months leading up to graduation. T-shirt quilts seem to be go-to presents for those events — and I’d have to agree! After starting my new job, I didn’t have… Continue reading A Recap of Christmas Quilts

New Dreams: T’s Quilt

July 24, 2018 Anne Brock

I met him when he was in elementary school. His parents were very excited about the youth program I was leading and couldn’t wait for him to join in on all the fun. The summer before he started sixth grade, I went to his house to learn more about him – what he enjoys, what… Continue reading New Dreams: T’s Quilt

Moments of Grace

February 10, 2018 Anne Brock

These moments are everywhere – every moment, really, is a moment of grace. None of this is deserved. Yes, I’ve worked for what I have. But, do I deserve anymore than the next person? No. Yes, I’ve tried to cultivate meaningful relationships. But, I do deserve loving people in my life more than someone else?… Continue reading Moments of Grace

Four Quilts

December 5, 2017 Anne Brock

For many of my friends 2017 has been a hard year. For one family in particular, it was one heartbreak after another. Justin’s dad dealt with a chronic illness for many years, but earlier this year his health declined quite rapidly. In early spring he passed away. Losing his father at such a young age… Continue reading Four Quilts

T’s Quilts

August 1, 2017July 31, 2017 Anne Brock

I often think about the chain of events required to happen in order for people to meet or experiences to occur. For example, the only reason I found the job description for my current position is due to the fact that I was looking at a part-time blog coordinator position at the IU Lilly Family… Continue reading T’s Quilts

C’s Quilt

July 17, 2017July 16, 2017 Anne Brock

There’s not a lot I can say about this quilt, since the stories contained in it are not my stories to tell. As in many human stories, this quilt holds a story of love, loss, death, courage, and bravery. I imagine holding onto the shirts he once wore must have been painful. Tucked away in… Continue reading C’s Quilt

Melanie’s Quilt

February 6, 2017 Anne Brock

Toward the end of 2016 I had a previous customer call me about a couple more projects he had. He and his wife came over with two bags. One was full of baseball t-shirts to be made into a wall hanging. The other bag was crammed full of pink t-shirts. She is a breast cancer… Continue reading Melanie’s Quilt

Tree Skirts

January 7, 2017 Anne Brock

As it is with most of my creations, I came across a tutorial for tree skirts a couple years ago and tried making one. I love how it turned out and, it seems, so did many others! So, I added tree skirts to my list of items to sell. This is the first one I… Continue reading Tree Skirts
