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 […]

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 […]

What was I thinking? Fabric giveaway!

Over the weekend I organized my fabric stash, a daunting task. As I picked through nearly a decade of fabric purchases, I came across a coordinated set of chickens and maroon chicken wire fabric. I thought it was hideous and shared the photo on Instagram and Facebook. Well it turns out taste is relative because […]

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 […]

Behind the scenes: Unpacking a quilt exhibit

The 34 quilts that are part of the National Quilt Museum’s next exhibit, Food for Thought from SAQA, have finished their week of rest and rods are being inserted in preparation for their big debut on Friday, April 10. It seems like a strange concept, allowing an inanimate object to rest. But laying the quilts […]

Cell phone cameras and sampler quilts

My Quilt Addicts Anonymous 2014 BOM quilt is on the longarm right now. It’s been on the longarm for three weeks, and I’m just over halfway done. While owning a longarm is on my quilting bucket list, along with having a sewing studio large enough to fit one, right now the only way I can […]
