Hi! I’m JoCarmel ... FullTime Nurse who loves quilting. My great-grandmother, Arminta was the quilter in our family. She was born and raised in rural Mississippi in the late 1890’s. She owned farmland and picked cotton to make a way for her family. However, my grandmother and my mother had no desire to pick cotton nor make quilts "slave work", so it was not handed down. In 2018, a fellow nurse taught me how to sew and the joy of creating quilts blossomed. We spent 2 days in her beautiful log cabin home and I’ve been hooked ever since, lol. I’m forever grateful to Sherry, but my husband… not so much, because I’ve become a fabricolic, quiltolic, sewolic & my new bucklist cities all include quilt show events, lol.
The goal of Quilts-by-Carmel is to share the love and art of quilting with others and hopefully inspire others to honor & share the story of their ancestors who made quilts out of necessity, warmth or for just pure joy. These women/men have paved the way to some of the freedoms and benefits we have today and we can honor them by reigniting and teaching our children the love of quilting.

Hi Guys, I think this might be one of my favorite Churn Dash quilt this year. It’s so happy and cheerful and I love how is easily it comes together and the secondary churn dash block that is created with the sashing. You can chain piece most of this quilt top & it's Precut friendly pattern.
Hope you all enjoy!
