Starburst Galaxy Block 1 video tutorial

O.M.G. this video took FOREVER to upload! There are two reason for that. One … my Internet provider has a monopoly in the area, which means they don’t actually have to be any good. Two … this video is almost 30 minutes long! Yes, 29:54 with no commercials. That’s longer than watching an episode of […]

Sewing room to nursery: Valances and border prints

I don’t even have my valances hung yet, but I just couldn’t wait to share them. I’m usually not a fan of border prints. They’re hard to use in quilts. You need to miter the corners for them to look kind of OK, and they never quite match up. But I do love the way […]

Turning orphan blocks into doll quilts

Each year my quilt guild makes about 1,200 doll quilts for the kids in our local Head Start program. If everyone in the guild makes four of them, then we meet our goal. Some make a whole lot more, some make none. Right now I’m feeling a little guilty because I’m in the none category. […]

Another UFO down!

One of the gals in my sit-n-sew was expecting her first child and trying to start and finish a chevron baby quilt before the little guy arrived. She was already in the third trimester. So the rest of the Next Generation Sit-n-Sew (we’re all in our 20s and 30s) decided we’d make one for her. […]

It’s time to strip … strip piece that is

The quilt I’m working on now is made up of more than 1,000 1.5-inch squares. And while I have been nuts to take on some of the quilting projects I’ve attempted (king-sized New York beauty and lonestar in the same year) this quilt has been made much easier by strip piecing. I designed the three […]

Mini Block of the Month August 2016 tutorial

It feel so strange for me to be done with a block of the month just three months in, but here we are with the final tutorial for Cabin in the Clearing, the Quilt Addicts Anonymous Mini 2016 BOM. This block goes pretty quickly. We’re making four patches, a few flying geese and finishing up […]

‘Food for Thought’ opens at The National Quilt Museum

Cherry pie so realistic you could just stick a fork in it, heirloom tomatoes that look like the juices would flow right out if you bit into them and reminders that in a country of abundance, there are still many who go hungry. That’s just a few scenes depicted “Food for Thought” an exhibit that […]

October Block of the Month

Sorry I am so late getting the pattern out this month. I’ve been battling a nasty cold and I still haven’t mastered getting anything accomplished on weeknights now that I’m a working mom. I still haven’t managed to get the video together, but you can download the pattern now. This is one of my favorite […]
