Allover Echoed Swirls Free Motion Quilting Tutorial! Pixelated Blooms Quilting

Echoed Swirls are my new favorite free motion quilting stitch! The stitch is exactly like it sounds, a swirl with one or two echoes around it. But this simple stitch really elevates the look of the swirl, making any quilt you use it on look super fancy. Usually I use it as a background filler, […]

Another UFO down!

One of the gals in my sit-n-sew was expecting her first child and trying to start and finish a chevron baby quilt before the little guy arrived. She was already in the third trimester. So the rest of the Next Generation Sit-n-Sew (we’re all in our 20s and 30s) decided we’d make one for her. […]

Celestial: Strip-pieced, no Y-seam diamonds make this quilt fast!

Celestial is one of my favorite types of quilt designs, one that looks way more complicated than it actually is. The blocks are assembled using strip piecing and no Y-seams, so the quilt top comes […]

Christmas scrap buster! Check out this Ghost of Christmas Past tutorial

Click here to download the Ghost of Christmas Past pattern for free until December 31, 2017! Pretty much every quilter has scraps left over from Christmas sewing projects.

Creating Knitted Texture with Quilting!

This month’s Stashin’ with Stephanie quilt design, Cables, was inspired by my other crafting love … knitting. Since the design resembles a knitted cable pattern, I thought it was only appropriate that I carry the knitting theme through to the quilting as well. I created a 1-inch square “V” stitch to mimic the look of […]
