Tessellated Leaves Placemats

I was contacted in early December by a friend wondering if I had time to make a set of 4 placemats for her by Christmas. And since she needed to ship the placemats, that really meant they needed to get done in a week and a half. Fortunately, I had no Christmas crafting / sewing plans of my own,...

A little over a year ago, I make a quilt for two friends as a wedding gift; I named the quilt Stargazer. These friends spend a lot of time outdoors camping and rock climbing each year. Both of our friends are born in early to mid December, making them both Sagittarians. I found a beautiful pattern on Spoonflower of...

I am really happy to be able to say that I have a finish this week! I was able to complete a set of 6 Fall Placemats. I am thrilled with how they came together, and don't they look wonderful on a table? Sticking with the fall theme, I quilted a meandering leaf pattern across the placemats using a variegated orange...

My family takes hot tea very seriously. It is a very communal process for us. Sharing a pot of tea is cozy, calming, and it is very nice quality time spent together. My husband's sister is visiting for a few days, and we have already had many cups of tea together. So, when she requested that I make a tea cozy...

I was able to finish up the Parallelogram Placemats on Wednesday afternoon. For the quilting, I went with a straight line stitch offset from the main parallelogram column seams. The quilted lines are ~1" apart at the widest. I think the quilting detail and binding really help to frame the tops out nicely. I like that the binding color was included...

I have to admit that I really have a serious crush on this quilt. For whatever reason, orange has been the color of the summer for me. Because I kept finding myself drawn to orange, I decided to really go for it and create an ombre gradient quilt to show off the vibrant color. I chose to follow a...
