Virtual Shop Hop: Heartland Cottons, DeWitt, Iowa

Heartland Cottons is a quaint quilt shop in DeWitt, Iowa, that carries an impressive collection considering it is located in a town of just 5,000. The shop carries a line of paper-piecing patterns by a regional designer. The samples just make you want to knock out a couple wall hangings. Heartland Cottons also carries a […]

Puppy Love crib quilt sneak peak

It’s time for a sneak peak at the crib quilt I designed for my little one on the way. I’m only halfway through the pregnancy, but I’m basing the decor of the entire nursery around this quilt, so I’m feeling the pressure to get it done. First let me start by saying, I can’t draw, […]

Well … it’ll fit next year

When I started Little Sister’s Dress a few months ago I planned to make it in the six months size, but I think Angela will be 18 months or maybe even two years old before she fills out the finished garment. And it will definitely be a tunic, not a dress. It’s the thought that counts […]

‘True Love Quilting Club’ makes quilts sexy

Chiaverini supports Project Linus by letting readers chose the twins’ gender

Jennifer Chiaverini is as civically minded as the characters in her book. At the Midwest Writing Center luncheon in Davenport, Iowa, Chiaverini joked about how readers were just dying to know the gender of Sarah’s twins and that Sarah’s pregnancy was really just a regular nine-month gestation period, even though she’s been pregnant for several […]

Dry spell is over, new quilt pattern for download

I’ve had a bit of a dry spell recently when it comes to quilting. The creativity is there, the time to execute isn’t. But since I made a New Year’s resolution to finish two quilts for every one I started, I’ve been able to finish two quilts already this year. Just a few days into […]
