I just LOVE rulerwork quilting. It is one of my favorite ways to finish a quilt. Essentially, you put a special foot on your machine and follow the curve or straight line on your ruler to create a perfectly consistent shape EVERY TIME! In today’s video I introduce you to Squiggy, one of the rulers […]
Marie Webster. Never heard that name before? Well quilters today owe a lot to her. In 1909, she broke with traditional Victorian quilt patterns and created her first applique quilt that was inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement. Her designs, featuring a center medallion typically of flowers, and strong borders caught the eye of […]

OMG these turned out so cute! You’ll want to dig through your Christmas scraps and make our seventh make of Christmas too. I just love the Scrappy Christmas Tree Mug Rugs. They were so fast and easy to make. In the video and FREE pattern to go with this project, I show you how to […]
I’ve wrote a few times about a secret quilting project I’ve been working on and I can finally reveal it in full here. The quilt was a group project made by my sit-n-sew for one of our members who had a baby. It has become a sort of tradition that when one of us is […]
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 […]
