5-inch squares offer endless quilting possibilites

I took a class from Pat Speth of Nickle Quilts fame. She was a member of my guild, the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild, when she published her first book filled with 20 patterns made from 5-inch squares.

6 hour crib quilt

My co-worker is expecting her first child. I don’t make a quilt for every baby shower I go to, but I knew she’d appreciate it and wanted to do something special for her and her little girl. I started the recon early to figure out what she was planning for her nursery. I lucked out […]

700 inches of binding

I’ve been spending a lot of time on the longarm lately. Thanks to my newfound flexibility in scheduling, I’ve been able to spend one day a week at Quilting By-You in Bettendorf, Iowa, renting time on a longarm to finally finish up some quilt tops.

A busy July

Where has the month gone? Since my last post I attended a Saturday workshop to make a tree skirt, got distracted while finishing it with making a design wall for my sewing room, broke my sewing machine, got a new onw and sewed up the top to the sunflower table runner above last night. What […]

A call for pattern testers

I am working on creating new patterns and am looking for some pattern testers to double check that I’ve gotten everything right before I release them. I’m looking for experienced quilters who can complete a quilt top within two weeks to a month, depending on the complexity and size of the pattern. In exchange for […]

A few things I’m working on

I’ve been working on some new (and old) projects now that I’ve finished the patriotic T-shirt quilt for a client. I’ll post pictures of the quilt later, as my camera died the morning I delivered it. I’m finally starting to sew together the signature blocks that guests signed at my wedding in August. We had […]

A future quilter is on the way

I came home from my honeymoon and was convinced I was pregnant. So what’s a new quilter to do? Buy an entire line of fabric, of course. Well, it was a false alarm, but 4 years later it’s finally time to pull out my line of Aspen’s Line by Avlyn and design a quilt top […]
