Modern Curves & Bold Stripes {Book Review & Giveaway}

It is my pleasure today to share about a book written by my two good friends Daisy Aschehoug (@warmfolk) and Heather Black (@quiltachusetts): Quilt Modern Curves & Bold Stripes (affiliate link). As you might surmise from the title, each quilt pattern within the book combines curved piecing and striped elements. I have to admit that while I find the...

Do you like to make seasonal and holiday themed quilts? Honestly, I typically would answer that I do not. But I happened to be doodling about a month ago and struck on the fact that I could overlap hearts to make transparency hearts. Well, suddenly that looked like something I wanted to explore more and turn into a quilt! I...

When Sandra from mmm!quilts posted about making placemats earlier this month, it got me thinking. A little over 7 years ago, in Novemer 2012, I made a set of 4 placemats for my husband and I to use at home based on a tutorial by Alissa, one of the co-founders of the Modern Quilt Guild. I didn't reduce the presser...

Splendid Sampler 2 {Finished Quilt}

One of my goals for 2020 was to finish 3 long term WIPs, and today I get to cross the first of those off the list: my Splendid Sampler 2 quilt. During the sew along, I pieced a total of 42 Splendid Sampler 2 blocks. The blocks finish at 6" square, and just sewing them together into a 6 x...

Organization for 2020

Everything in my home is trending to be more and more minimal; for example, we no longer have a sofa in our living room (but 2 of my husband's homemade jet engines are proudly on display!). So it really is no surprise that my stash is on the smaller side. To be fair, I typically purchase fabric specifically for...

December Patron Mini Mini Quilt

What better way to wrap up the year than with a fun finish? Today I'm happy to get to share my latest Patron mini mini quilt reward. My patron loved an earlier Om mini mini quilt that I made in blue.

Today I'm pleased to share how my December MDL Challenge and Aurifil Artisan Holiday Project quilt came together. Pulsar finished at 37 1/2 inches square. I used the four-at-a-time flying geese method to make all the geese units. The most time consuming part of putting the quilt top together was deciding how I wanted to set the corner units. After...

December MDL Design Challenge

I had the honor of setting the challenge description for the December Modern Design Lab (MDL) design challenge. Instead of using a photo inspiration this month, I wanted the challenge to revolve around color, so when I found the Behr Color Trends for 2020, I thought they would be a great option for the challenge. We can choose to pull...

I had 5 Patrons unlock the mini mini quilt reward in November. I typically aim to make mini mini quilts in the 4" square size range, but they all vary a little bit. Over Thanksgiving, we had over 9 inches of snow at my house, which made a soft photo background for these fun tiny quilts. I ask each patron...
