Recolor App for Digital Quilt Mockups

I have been looking for an option to allow quilters to be able to easily make digital quilt mockups of Quilting Jetgirl patterns. There are several great apps that are available, but most of the apps I have found require the designer to pay monthly fees in order to host their patterns on the site. And honestly, at this...

I had a really productive week last week which set me up for finishing up my Old School BOM quilt over the weekend. I'm really amazed that it's January 3rd and I'm sharing my first quilt finish for the year! I really like how all the Carolyn Friedlander prints work together in the blocks, and I opted to go for...

Because we made 2 blocks in April during the Old School BOM, I wanted a layout that would accommodate all 13 blocks that were made during the Old School Block of the Month. This layout is a very straight forward solution to having 13 different blocks that finish at 12" square, so I thought I'd share what you'd need...

And just like that, the Old School Block of the Month is wrapped up! This month, Sherri Falls from This and That Patterns released a delightful block, Christmas Blossom, to wrap up the year. The only green that I had enough to use for the block was a bit lighter than I would have ideally liked, but overall I really...

I had originally thought that I would make this second version of my Sesen design back in June, but then life happened. I'm actually really glad that making the quilt got delayed. Due to other work this year, I opted to change how the pattern is written which makes the quilt come together so much better. I will be...

It's been about 2½ weeks since I shared how I developed the quilting plan for Sesen. It was a busy few weeks with Thanksgiving, my final virtual guild lecture for 2021, and the start of the Planview Quilt Along, but I've made good progress along the way and today I want to share a few things I've tried differently...

It's hard to believe there is only one more block to make to wrap up the Old School BOM. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Today I'm sharing my version of the November block, Walk in My Footsteps, which was designed by Katy Cameron (The Littlest Thistle). Walk in my Footsteps is a really sweet adaptation of a bear paw...

Planview Quilt Along {Fabric Requirements}

As an engineer, I created plans to communicate how to manufacture parts that I developed. Plans are two-dimensional diagrams used to describe an object and communicate building and/or fabrication instructions. A plan view is a projection looking down on the object, like in a floor plan for a house. This design started by overlapping various sizes of rotated plus...

After getting the Sesen quilt top pieced, I placed it up on my design wall and sat back and thought about how I wanted to quilt it. The first time I made Sesen, I made it as a commission and I opted for an allover free motion quilted meander motif for several reasons (cost, a link back to the...

I write my patterns to have enough extra fabric to allow for cutting mistakes, but in my excitement earlier this year, I placed my fabric order for this version of Sesen before I finalized the pattern and fabric requirements. Which shouldn't be a big deal, because I've already made one version of the quilt, right? But I opted to...
