I was contacted earlier this year by Cotton Cuts and asked to participate in making a raffle quilt that will support the Social Justice Sewing Academy (SJSA). The SJSA was founded in 2017 and works to empower people to use textile art for personal transformation, community building, and activism. I became familiar with SJSA through my volunteer efforts at...

Bead Curtain | PQ 17.4 {Finished Quilt}

When I read the Project Quilting 17.4 prompt, Of Another Era, last Sunday, I immediately knew I wanted to consider something with a 1960s graphic design aesthetic and color palette. So, after poking around Pinterest for palette inspiration, the first thing I did was select my fabric for the project. I chose Kona Cotton in Chocolate for the background and...

Now that the Highland quilt has been received by my in-laws, I can share about how it finished! I sent the pieced quilt top to Sew Shabby Quilting to be longarm quilted. I poured over all of Melissa's patterns, and there were several that would have been lovely with this quilt top. My in-laws and I chose the Bubble Glitter...

Round 4 {2026 SAHRR}

I was thrilled when Wendy asked us to "show off our curves" as her prompt for the 4th round of the Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR) this week. I have a lot of curves in my quilt top already, so I knew I wanted take the time to think about a different kind of curved piecing to use...

It took several purchases from Sewtopia to refine my fabric selection for 2718, including a special assist from a friend who had the purple print I was considering in her stash (it's the one I ended up using)! Just like with Half In Half Out, I knew I wanted to stick with a single fabric manufacturer for this quilt,...

Round 3 {2026 SAHRR}

I am really glad I had a few projects that distracted me from making progress on the 3rd round of the 2026 Stay At Home Round Robin this week. First, I went ahead and made a quick, small mug rug to meet the Project Quilting 17.3, Year of the Horst, prompt. Then, I was able to finish the Highland...

While I started iterating on the fabrics for the 2718 quilt, I knew I had time to explore working with the exposed seam hourglass blocks. Because I learned from the One Ninth mini quilt that working with the same fabric manufacturer was beneficial across longer seams, I went straight to my stash of Carolyn Friedlander prints for this mini...

Green Double Orange Peel Mug Rug | PQ 17.3 {Finished Quilt}

Whew, I struggled to come up with an angle for this week's Project Quilting 17.3 prompt, Year of the Horse. At first, I was so focused on "horse" that I couldn't come up with any ideas. Then, Monday morning, I thought to go back and read the "rule one" prompt again because it usually offers a more expansive view...

Round 2 {2026 SAHRR}

Well, I am really glad that I waited to sew on the blocks that I made in response to the 2026 SAHRR Round 1 prompt of hourglass. Huge thanks to Sandra from mmmquilts for suggesting I consider alternating red to lime green on the left and lime green to red on the right for the hourglass blocks. That ended...

After exploring the exposed seams idea with a few test blocks and making an exposed seams mini mini quilt, I knew the idea had potential. I spent about a week thinking about quilt design options, and by the end of the week I had a handful of designs that I thought had potential with even more ideas rattling around...

Hourglass Progress {2026 SAHRR}

I was in the middle of working on my Starry Plaid quilt in response to the Project Quilting Scads of Plaid prompt when the Round 1 prompt for the 2026 Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR) was announced by Brenda of Songbird Designs last Wednesday. Brenda chose the hourglass block for us to work with for Round 1, which...

Starry Plaid | PQ 17.2 {Finished Quilt}

When I read the prompt for Project Quilting 17.2, Scads of Plaid, the first thing that came to mind was plaid fabric, but I knew I did not have any in my stash. So instead of digging through my stash, I started by working in Inkscape on my computer to come up with a design. I knew the design...

Center Block {2026 SAHRR}

I have watched from the sidelines for several years as friends participate (and help run) the Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR). This year, I decided to jump in. I will play catch up every other week if I choose to participate in Project Quilting Prompts, but the timing for making the 2026 SAHRR center block fell perfectly in...

Just a quick update for today. Yesterday, I cut (11) 2¼" x WOF strips and turned them into a double folded binding strip so that I'll be ready to bind the Highland quilt when it gets back from being long arm quilted. Looking at the binding roll from the top down, an (11) strip binding roll is a large one! I...

A Clean Slate | PQ 17.1 {Finished Quilt}

The first prompt for Season 17 of Project Quilting is based on the Pantone Color of the Year: Cloud Dancer. When Cloud Dancer, which is white, was announced as the color of the year in December, I was not impressed. From a marketing perspective, it certainly garnered a LOT of social media attention, so in the Kardashian view of...

Black and White Fabric Refresh

After making the Black and White Framed charity blocks, I was out of all black and white prints in my stash. When Sewtopia held a sale just after Christmas to celebrate Amy's birthday, I decided I should look for some black and white prints to replace what I used up. A few other low volume prints also spoke to me....

Happy New Year! I am really, really happy to say that over the weekend I was able to get the 90" x 110" Highland Quilt Top pieced. Whew! I finished piecing the last of the blocks for the center of the quilt on New Year's Eve, and I used the momentum from finishing the blocks to fully finish the...

She was introduced to quilting by her paternal grandmother in high school when her grandmother offered to hand quilt a twin-size quilt to use in her college dorm room if Yvonne made the quilt top. Yvonne has developed a style that bridges her technical background and love of color, specializing in curves, transparency color play, and bold, geometric designs. Her award winning quilts, which have been featured in numerous national and international magazines, quilt shows, and books, often incorporate the quilting plan as a key design element, and she quilts her quilts on her domestic Juki sewing machine.
