July Block of the Month

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! Now that you’re all rested and refreshed, it is time to get started on the July Block of the Month pattern. This month and for every month until the end of the year, we will just be making four, 12-inch blocks as we finish the corners […]

July Block of the Month

We are officially halfway through the year and we’re getting toward the end of our quilt. There are just four, 12-inch blocks to make each month through the end of the year. This month we’re making more double pinwheels. If you remember, the last time we made double pinwheels we had mirrored blocks. We will […]

Jungle baby quilt reveal!

It was the morning of my sister’s baby shower, and I showed up at my sister’s house with a cardboard gift box. Instead of giving her the present, I locked myself in the nursery rearranged the room, much to the chagrin of her uber-friendly beagle, and staged a photo shoot with the jungle baby quilt I’ve […]

Jungle baby quilt sneak peak

My sister is expecting her first baby in May. She is my only sister, so that means I was tasked with designing an extra special quilt for her baby. I finished the top last weekend at quilt retreat and took it to Quilting By You in Bettendorf, Iowa, to quilt it this week. I love […]
