A system for keeping scraps

Some of you will consider this sacrilege: I threw out all the fabric in the picture above. I know there are some quilters out there who keep every piece of scrap fabric no matter how minuscule. I am not here to judge if you have bins filled with every piece of fabric left over from […]

Step one: Admit you have a problem …

Last weekend I packed up just about every quilting and sewing-related object in my house and loaded it up into a U-haul and the back of my mini van to get ready for the move to my new studio/quilt shop. If you missed that fun announcement, make sure to check out Episode 24 of Sit […]

Finished quilts of 2011

There was a baby boom among my friends and family this year, so 2011, was the year of the baby quilt and stash busting. There was the alphabet baby quilt for my friend Shelly’s first child. We know each other from book club, so I thought this panel that I already had in my stash […]

It’s done! BOM 2014 on the bed for the first time

I know, we’re three quarters of the way through 2015, and I’m just now putting my 2014 BOM on the bed for the first time. I’m finding everything takes 10 times as long as normal when you have a toddler running around the house. I finished putting this beauty together at my guild’s biannual quilt […]

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 […]

Quilting with Marti Michell

I took quilting celebrity Marti Michell’s Fat Quarter Log Cabin class last weekend. As I got ready, my husband predicted I would be a bad student, and he was right. I completely blew up the pattern. We were supposed to cut a 3-inch square for the center and then add 1-inch strips until the block […]

Two for one, making the most of scraps

Normally when I buy PUL for making cloth diapers I purchase 22 inches of yardage. That is more than enough to make four cloth diapers from one width of fabric, which means I already have enough PUL to make additional sizes as my baby grows. But when I picked up some pink girly prints to […]

Christmas fabric exchange reveal, sorta

Way back in 2011 (I know 2012 is only 25 days old, but it seems longer) I participated in a holiday fabric exchange hosted by Quilting Under the Influence. My quilt still isn’t finished, but the top is pretty much put together, which is saying something for me and my tendency to move from one […]

Quilt reveal: Snowpocalypse

Snowpocaplypse More snow than you would ever need, or could imagine. – Urban Dictionary This quilt’s original name was Winter Blues. I started it during a heat wave last summer. The idea was to trick myself into feeling cooler during a string of 90+ degree days. But as it grew, and grew, and grew some […]
