There are two elements that create transparency quilts: design and color/fabric selection. From a design perspective, transparency is first and foremost about overlapping shapes. The Push-Pull quilt design explores overlapping triangular shapes. With the design element taken care of, the focus for the first Push-Pull Quilt Along instructions focus on color/fabric selection. If you have already purchased the Push-Pull Quilt...

I had a lot of time to think about what that might look like, and I am excited to announce the upcoming Push-Pull Quilt Along is the result!

Sparkler Block, Summer Sampler 2018, Transparency

I'm pretty sure no one is surprised about the skill that I discuss in this week's Summer Sampler 2019 block that I designed: transparency. I have focused a lot in the past on evaluating fabric in a monochromatic sense. But what if you want to move around the color wheel? Before I talk about moving around the color wheel, let's...

Sparkler Block {2019 Summer Sampler}

Were you able to pick out which block I designed in the Summer Sampler 2019? I look forward to getting to use sparklers every 4th of July, and it is such a quintessential part of summer that it was the inspiration for my 2019 Summer Sampler block design. The Sparkler block will introduce transparency topics, especially for moving around the...

Modern Plus Sampler {Paper Pieced Areas}

I have been looking forward to piecing the Paper Pieced areas of the Modern Plus Sampler quilt along, hosted by Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) and Paige (Quilted Blooms), based on the fact that I created a version of the Kaleidoscope Plus quilt last year. Unsurprisingly, the Kaleidoscope Block came together quickly for me. Too quickly in fact. If you look toward...

My domestic sewing machine, a Juki TL-2200QVP Mini, is a straight stitch only machine, so my game plan was to use the Crafted Applique...

Well, I was able to get my Rick Rack Areas pieced before Thanksgiving, so I'm feeling good about my piecing progress this month. The background fabric is a FreeSpirit Kaffe Fassett shot...

I seek to change active, generous, caring creatives who want to learn to quilt or improve their quilting skills into people who approach quilting with joy. Into people who recognize that quilting creates connections and builds community. I seek to help you become excited about every step of the quilting process. To make quilts that you are proud of. Thanks for joining me. I can’t wait to see the quilts you are going to create.
