Sometimes I'm amazed at how well (and for how long) I can keep a secret; I have been looking forward to today for a little over 16 months. When Cheryl Brickey (Meadow Mist Designs) asked me to make a quilt for her second book, Just One Charm Pack Quilts, I was tickled and I really enjoyed getting to make...

Diatom – Postage Stamp Throw {Quilting}

The summer heat has slowed down my sewing / quilting progress. But I did make slow and steady progress last week on my Postage Stamp Throw version of the Diatom quilt. The first thing I needed to address was what thread I wanted to use for the quilting. I auditioned 4 50wt Aurifil thread choices (top to bottom): 2785 (Very...

2023 Finished Quilts, Quilt Pattern

Dripping Stars and Holiday Pattern Bundle

Behind the scenes I was able to sneak in writing and testing a new quilt pattern between finishing Congruence and making the Sunrise Sherbet quilt. Today, I am really happy that I can share that quilt and pattern, Dripping Stars, with you. And while the individual Dipping Stars digital quilt pattern is available for sale today in my pattern...

Diatom – Postage Stamp Throw {Pieced & Basted}

I don't remember exactly when I got my Diatom blocks that I pieced during the quilt along sewn into a quilt top (it happened sometime in the past month). It honestly didn't take long to do since I had already sewn the first 6 blocks into the top half of the quilt top, and I'm sure I snuck it...

Sunrise Sherbet {Finished Quilt}

I think I mentioned in my last post that I was going to take an online break until July 17th. Well, I was able to finish the Sunrise Sherbet quilt during my break, I have a lot to share in the next few weeks, AND I had enough time after getting home from our camping trip to get a...

Sunrise Sherbet Improv & Online Vacation

I really delighted in participating in the week long Project Quilting prompts at the beginning of this year (I'm still not sure why I waited so long to join in). Because of that joy, I wanted to add in a "just for fun" project each quarter of this year. I knew when I pulled the Sunrise Sherbet palette in...

I'm popping in quickly today to let you know that Leanne of Devoted Quilter has an interview up on her blog today about the first quilt I ever made. I found the...

There are only a few days left in the first half of 2023. Due to COVID, my goals for the second quarter didn't quite pan out exactly as I had hoped, but overall I think I am doing really well toward my 2023 quilting goals. Here are my second quarter highlights: I was able to finish 3 quilts from April...

Creating a Quilting Plan {Auribuzz Guest Post}

The pattern instruction to “quilt as desired” can leave a lot of us feeling stumped, especially when we are working with a quilt that has a lot of negative space (like the quilts I love to design and make). In my quilt patterns, I include details and templates that I use to create my quilting plans, but there are...

Congruence {Finished Quilt}

I had planned to have Congruence finished about a month ago, but life had other plans. I'm grateful that it's complete, and I'm really pleased that the extra time I needed to take forced me to think a little bit more about the quilting plan. I'm absolutely thrilled with this finish! After quilting and trimming the quilt square, Congruence measures...

Congruence {Quilting Progress}

It took me a few days to get to the point where I could sustain spending much time quilting last week. One of the lingering symptoms of COVID for me has been vertigo. And the effect of spinning Congruence in a circle through the throat of my machine took a bit of getting used to (along with a continued...

Congruence {Basting}

Thank you so much for your well wishes; what a difference a week makes. I'm feeling better and have short periods of good energy. Hooray! Since all of my quilting plan options for Congruence (including Plan C) have the same straight line quilting, I went ahead and got the quilting lines marked out on the quilt top using my Hera...

Congruence {Quilting Plan C}

I'm still very low energy and not feeling well, and I am feeling pretty stir crazy. About all the energy I had in this past week was to come up with what is likely the final quilting plan for Congruence, Plan C. Based on feedback from a week ago, I think this splits the difference and seems achievable. Hopefully I'll...

Congruence {Quilting Plan}

Well, this post is probably going to be pretty short. After avoiding COVID for years, my husband and I both tested positive last week. It's really hard for me to not do much, but I don't have much energy. Thankfully my husband is already much improved and I can tell that I'm doing better than I was on Friday. So,...
