This is the stencil that I finally mastered feathers with …

I had the honor of quilting my mom’s first bed sized quilt this week. She made one of my very early patterns, the 5-Hour Bed Quilt. Full disclaimer that it take five hours if you’ve been quilting for a long time.  It’s a giant disappearing nine-patch made using layer cakes. So it’s super simple, with […]

After quilt retreat: New York Beauty

Most of my time at quilt retreat was taken up by the paper pieced Christmas tree skirt. But I did manage to get some work done on my New York Beauty quilt. I finished four more blocks for a total of 12 completed. That’s nowhere near the 32 I hoped to have finished by now, […]

See how I used rulerwork to accent quilt piecing

I LOVE rulerwork. I don’t always get to do it because it definitely takes more time than a nice easy all-over free motion quilting stitch, but that doesn’t mean it’s hard. Once you get the hang of keeping the ruler foot in contact with your ruler, you can create perfect shapes and straight lines every […]

An afternoon with Carol Doak

It’s been a crazy month since my class with Carol Doak, and most of it was spent without Internet at home. I don’t know what I would have done without my Blackberry. Carol was a great teacher, she made paper piecing very easy although it’s not fool-proof. I cut through the paper pattern a couple […]
