Today I'm going to share a quick tutorial for how you can set 12 quilt blocks in a circle setting to make a quilt top. I originally created the layout for blocks that finish at 12" square and creates a 72" finished quilt, but I figured I would go ahead and write this tutorial for a range of block...

Local LQS Store Closing / Retiring

At the beginning of 2020, one of the two quilt shops in my town announced that they would be retiring in April. When I heard the news, I went into the store and picked up 6 yards of Kona Cotton Snow and a few other 1/2 yard cuts and chatted with the owners. They were planning to move the...

2018 Aurifil Designer of the Month Blocks

One of my 2020 planning goals was to work on finishing long term works in progress, and last week I decided to pull out my 2018 Aurifil Designer of the Month blocks to figure out a path forward. The photo above is a reminder of all the 12 1/2" unfinished (12" finished) blocks I created in 2018 look like. I...

The Confident Stitch {Stash Enhancement}

To be perfectly honest, my stash of prints looks a lot more like scraps to most people. The first shelf above my sewing machine has 12 small, clear plastic bins that hold the majority of my print stash (I also have a dedicated Carolyn Friedlander large bin on the second shelf right now, too). I tend to add fat quarters,...

Binding Mini Mini Quilts & #MQGKeepCalmAndSewOn

As part of the Modern Quilt Guild's #MQGKeepCalmandSewOn weekly content, this week MQG members can download a PDF I created to help think about exploring design constraints through small makes: mini mini quilts. Mini mini quilts are tiny, think "mug rug" size or 5" per side or smaller. In short, mini mini quilts are a great way to explore...

Trussed {MDL Mini Quilt Challenge Finish}

The April Aurifil Artisan prompt or challenge is to share about our favorite thread weight, and the Trussed mini quilt is a great example of my most used thread weight, 50wt, coupled with the fact that I love using other thread weights to accentuate details. When I last shared about the MDL Mini Quilt Challenge, I went through my...

General Roundup

I think it's safe to say that everything is much different today than any of us expected at the beginning of the year. For me, instead of getting to spend some quality time with my family last month, my husband and I had to sadly cancel our travel plans and I started self-isolating at home on March 12th. Today...

Today I have great news: I now have 14 printed pattern booklets as all are back in stock and...

Surprise! I'm releasing the 3rd piecing instructions a week early. No other dates in the quilt along are changing at this time. Why release early? I will be on a family vacation next week and I wanted to make sure everyone received the next set of instructions so I could have a stress free time. However, if you need help...

QuiltCon 2020

Since joining the crew in 2017, to me QuiltCon represents a whole lot of hard work. It usually takes me a week or so to decompress, catch up on sleep and be able to sort out my thoughts about the event. I know many of you already know of additional personal details surrounding my time just after QuiltCon (here...
