I was able to get the Space Arcade quilt top pieced early this week, which meant I then spent time thinking about the quilting plan. To begin, I took a high resolution illustration of the quilt top into Procreate and started doodling out some ideas. A few notes about the exported timelapse from Procreate that is linked to below... I...

With my Project Quilting 14.5 Not a Square quilt finished and Night Garden out to be longarm quilted, I started another project this weekend: the first bonus quilt using the large scraps created piecing Night Garden.

Night Garden {Completed Quilt Top}

As I was working to finish piecing the Night Garden quilt top this month, I started to think more and more about how it would be quilted. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's see how the quilt came together. I was so thrilled when the quilt center was pieced together. I just love the shapes that are created, and...

Night Garden Piecing Progress

After finishing up my What is Love baby quilt last week, I was so happy to have my Night Garden fabric cut and ready to start sewing! The first blocks came together quickly and smoothly: a large stack of quarter circle block and a much smaller stack of orange peel blocks. Lovely! My next set of blocks were a bit more...

I might not have sewn my Board & Batten Quilt Blocks together the day after I got them pieced, but pretty quickly after I had the blocks created, I got the quilt top pieced. What I struggled with more was decent lighting to photograph the quilt, and then I spent a bit of time pondering my quilting plan. I am...

Night Garden {Fabric Prep}

I have had a bit slower start to making the queen size version of Night Garden for my sister- and brother-in-law this year than I had envisioned. I took my time writing the pattern and bonus quilt patterns, and at the end of January I was finally ready to cut the fabric. I've just been so busy in the...

I am doing a lot of sewing right now, but I can't share about it just yet. I'm test sewing my upcoming quilt along quilt. The pattern is 85 pages long (it feels more like I wrote a book than a quilt along pattern!!) and I'm really excited about all of the options it contains. Hopefully I'll be able...

Earlier this year, Patty from Elm Street Quilts asked if I would consider taking part in a group quilt. The theme of the project was given as Teamwork, and the design constraints were that we were to create a path for a ball to move across the quilt top in the style of a Rube Goldberg machine. I was...

My husband and I generally try to be in the present moment and to make choices to keep us excited about the future. We have a bit of a motto that to be happy we need someone to love, something to do, and something to look forward to. That said, there are a few things about moving away from...

I'm sewing again! I know you probably want more details on the sewing table / cutting mat station that my husband and I built. I promise we took lots of photos and I'll be putting together a really comprehensive DIY tutorial for it in the coming weeks. But after being without my sewing machine for 2 months, I hope...

I hated having to play coy about my intentions when I was making the Digital Wave Table Runner and matching placemats and mug rugs, but I had *hoped* that they would work on our new dining room table. Some of my hesitation in sharing about the potential move was that so many of our previous real estate deals earlier...

Several years ago, Jan from The Colorful Fabriholic introduced me to the term "WISP": Work In Slow Progress. And just this past week, I have committed to my first ever intentionally started WISP, the Butterfly Effect EPP pattern by Nicole from Lillyella. Have I done a lot of English Paper Piecing (EPP) before? Not a lot, but I've done a...
