Flight Path

In late April, I learned that one of my friends was pregnant. About a microsecond after she told me, my brain was already thinking about the baby quilt I would be making. I reached out to several of her other friends, and in the end 7 of us collaborated to make this special quilt. Today, I am really excited...

I was introduced to Amanda @The Quilted Fish last year when I chose to participate in the Modern Quilt Guild's Riley Blake fabric challenge. The fabric they selected to use was The Cottage Garden, which was designed by Amanda. I jumped at the chance to participate because the colorway, patterns, and detail in her prints really spoke to me, and...

I recently participated in a mini quilt swap with a small group of quilting friends. I occasionally get to travel to visit with my husband's family, and while I am there, I have been fortunate enough to get together with this group of friends for dinner. It is only once every 3 or 4 months, but the joy of sitting...

Crafted Applique Book Tour & Giveaway

I have said it before, but it is worth repeating: I blog because of the wonderful community of quilters online helps me make connections and grow as an individual and as a quilter. Today is a case in point: if I were to only be a modern quilt guild member, I probably would never have had the wonderful opportunity...

I live in California and my family lives in Tennessee. Earlier this year, I made plans with my brother and his family to visit with them in early May. My parents and brother live within an hour and a half drive of one another, so that meant I also had the good fortune of getting to visit with my...

Alida @Tweety Loves Quilting contacted me early in the year with an idea for a blog hop. Her idea was to host an "Art with Fabric" hop where quilters would explore the endless possibilities of art-inspired quilted pieces. After much hemming and hawing on my part (I was plagued with thoughts like, "I am not an art quilter" and "Would...

I am really pleased with how my quilt, High Road Low Road, finished. It started as a re-examination of the block and piecing technique that I used for Beacon, and morphed into something entirely new. And then I let myself play and have a lot of fun with the quilting. This is a very double sided quilt, in my opinion,...

I love blogging and sharing my thoughts on a quilt as I am working on it, and I really missed out on getting to share details and lessons learned with you as I made Sunburst. I have been looking...

#MiniMiniQuiltSwap Not Slowing Yet

I have made and shipped off another batch of mini mini quilts! Although each was made with intent and purpose, it turns out that one of these things is not like the other... Just before QuiltCon, I agreed to a mini mini swap with Jane (@janequiltsslowly on Instagram). I asked her to remind me about this swap when I returned...

As can happen sometimes, what I had planned to do this past weekend (start quilting my Midnight Mystery quilt) did not happen. Instead, late on Friday night I realized it was the first Friday of the month and so I turned on my sewing machine and participated in the fun #FridayNightSewAlong on Instagram. I started by gate crashing the...

After quilting, binding, and wash, the quilt finished at 55-inches wide by 65-inches long (~8% shrinkage from the flimsy finish of 60 x 70). As this was a quilt for...

When I asked her if she had any preferences for what I make her, she responded, "I would love something in the colors you often work with ... Blues. I love shades of Aqua the most." I had some free...
