Nap time quilting

http://instagram.com/p/qCYGpOP4aY/?modal=true Nap time quilting.  It’s a popular pastime among quilting moms, there are even entire blogs dedicated to it. And now I’m one of the nap time quilters cramming as much into nap times as possible. It’s amazing what you can get done when you know there’s only and hour, maybe two to finish it in. Last […]

Baby quilt

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 […]

Block a Day Challenge roundup – Week 14

Everyone must be inspired by spring, because the blocks and tops completed this week are all really bright and fun. This week we completed 57 blocks and three tops. I still haven’t had a chance to enter all the entries from March to choose a winner at random. I’m hoping to do that this weekend […]

So it turns out you can have too much fabric …

Earlier this week I wrote that it looked like a quilt shop threw up in my living room. I received comments like, “And that’s a bad thing?” and “Heaven.” Then, the next day even MORE fabric arrived. Yes, I currently have about 1,000 yards of the beautiful Majestic Batiks that needs to be cut and […]

Triangle Boot Camp 7

Quilt top reveal – Triangle Boot Camp

My plan was to work all day on Friday at quilt retreat to finish my triangle boot camp class sample, which I designed for a class I’m teaching in June at Neal’s Vacuum and Sewing Center in Muscatine, Iowa. But by the end of the night I just had the blocks done and the sashing […]

After quilt retreat: Lonestar

My lonestar also did not receive that much love and attention at quilt retreat. I did manage to nearly finish the appliqued leaves on two of the background squares. But I still have to applique all of the flowers which take about an hour each to complete. I pinned the sections up on my design […]

Quilt retreat is coming!

In two days I’ll be on my way to Quilt Retreat in rural DeWitt, Iowa, for four days of quilting, eating and sleeping. That’s it. There’s no laundry to do, dogs to let out, kitchens to paint. Just quilt, eat and sleep. It makes for a glorious and productive weekend. I’m also really excited because […]

First baby quilt of 2012

It’s looking like 2012 might be the year of the baby quilt as well. Heck maybe my entire 20s will be the decade of the baby quilt since all my friends seem to be having kids one after the other and there doesn’t appear to be an end in sight. But I love working on […]
