This quilt was based around a super cute woodland animal print fabric purchased fromSpoonflower. All other fabrics were purchased to coordinate with the animal print, and this was a super fun quilt to piece together. The backing is a flannel fabric - this baby is due in November, so hopefully this quilt will get lots of snuggly use!

I have friends who are expecting their second later this year. Since I made a baby quilt for their first, I was excited and honored that I got to make a new baby quilt for them! My brother came out to visit at the beginning of June, and he was gracious enough to go fabric shopping with me during his...

I really like the patterns published by Empty Bobbin Sewing Studio. I used the "Seeing Squares" pattern for the Baby Bozarth Quilt. One of the best things about the Empty Bobbin patterns is that they come in multiple sizes - and the smaller version of Seeing Squares works really well as a baby quilt. I work with the father, so when...

City Play is a quilt that I found in my City Quilts book by Cherri House. The basis for this very fun quilt is a simple nine patch quilt block. What makes the quilt so stunning is the way she uses the borders around the nine patch blocks to give the quilt depth and interest. Also, since it uses so...

First, a huge thank you to the empty bobbin - I absolutely fell in love with her pattern "ZigZagged" and was able to buy a kit with the pattern and fabrics for the quilt shown on the cover of her pattern booklet! Score! The cover of the pattern booklet is to the left. I have done triangles and points in quilts before,...

My lovely mother came out and spent just over a week with me in early December. We managed to get a "baby" quilt done during the course of the visit. It is a bit bigger than a real baby quilt (56" x 56"), so I feel like it was a great accomplishment. This quilt is for the 3rd grandchild...

When I stumbled across a fabric that had a blend of purple and yellow in it, I knew I had to make a quilt for Michael's aunt, Lynne. Her favorite color is purple, and the fabric just seemed to imply what should follow. I initially set out to make smaller blocks for this lap quilt, but the finished size...

Our friends Matt and Delia Kampner are expecting their first child this December. When I heard they were expecting, I got so excited about making them a quilt! They found out in late July that they are having a boy, and Matt, Delia, and I went fabric shopping in mid-August. I had a pattern in mind but ended up...

When I was back visiting my family in Tennessee earlier this year, my mom and I had a wonderful time going to all her local quilt stores. At the first store (the store I ship my quilts back to for long arm quilting when they are too big for me to do), I had to buy this crazy fabric...

I wanted to make a quilt for my brother. When I saw the "Red Rover" pattern in "Cozy Modern Quilts", I thought it would be perfect, but I was happy to honor his request to substitute blue for the red in the quilt. :) It took a bit of time to get the top pieced together - there were a...

Back in August, I was visiting my in-laws and we decided on some beautiful fabrics for me to use to make them an over-sized lap quilt.  They both quickly agreed that they wanted fall colors, and my mother-in-law and I had a wonderful afternoon in a local quilt store looking at fabric.  We picked out 8 different fabrics based...

I have to give credit to Michael for helping me pick out the browns for this quilt I made for a high school friend who is expecting her second child ("bunbun") in December.  I think I like the backing more than the front of this quilt - the wavy fabric is really fun!

When I saw this material, I just couldn't help myself. I call this quilt "starry night", and I think it turned out pretty well.  Some of the quilting wasn't so straight, but things can't be perfect, right?  :o)
