2025 Quilting Goals Review

When I set my initial 2025 Planning goals, I knew that I was going to be starting a new part time (20-30 hours a week) job in February, and I wasn't sure how that might impact my quilting time. So I set an initial set of goals that I was thankfully able to more or less complete this year: ...

#2025QuiltingCheckIn

Thank you so much to everyone who has participated in my yearly-turned-quarterly quilting goals check in link ups over the years. Participation in these has fallen off drastically in the past few years, so this will be the final goal oriented goal check in linkup party that I plan to host for the foreseeable future. So, I hope you will...

This week, I pieced 20 Black and White Framed Charity blocks for Many Hands and Many Hearts. Work was a bit busier than normal for me, and even with just a few hours in the evenings, I was able to get these blocks pieced and ready to ship to Cynthia by the end of the day on Wednesday. Of...

Wednesday was a very busy day for me at work. Sometime just before lunch, I saw that I had a few emails from the MQG, and I knew that the notifications for QuiltCon 2026 quilt submissions must have gone out. I was very surprised (and utterly delighted) to see that all 3 quilts that I submitted this year were...

Thanks to a large "atmospheric river" we have received nearly 3 inches of rain since Thursday evening. With that much rain, the only right choice is to stay inside and work on a quilt project, right?? Also: my apologies for the poorly lit indoor photos in this blog post. In addition to the double orange peel block templates that my...

Recovering My Ironing Board

I am proud to say that I have started cutting fabric for the Highland quilt, but this week my husband helped me complete an important side quest: recovering my (very worn out) ironing board cover. After finishing 2718 for QuiltCon (2718 seams), my ironing board cover was used up. It had been worn before I started that project, but the...

Highland Test Block Hot Pads {Finished Quilts}

I am really struggling with the time change this year. I have always joked with my husband that my inner cave woman is strong. This year my inner cave woman seems determined to shut me down as soon as the sun drops below the horizon, which is making it very difficult to get much of anything done apart from...

Highland Test Block Hot Pads

Life this past week has been really busy, and I finally carved out some time on Sunday night to touch fabric for the first time in about a week and a half. Both our vehicles had check engine lights come on, which is never fun and doubly entertaining when they sort of happen at the same time. On the...

3D Printed Fabric Cutting Templates

Summary/Spoiler Alert: The 3D printed fabric cutting templates my husband printed for me for the Highland quilt work great! This week, I wanted to methodically and carefully test out the 3D printed templates that my husband made for me for the Highland quilt. I am making this bed quilt for his parents, so while that might be a slight motivational...

Yesterday, I was able to complete one of my yearly goals: I finished the final of 3 WIPs that I had at the beginning of 2025. I shared about the Signal Trace pieced quilt top on October 6th of 2024, but due to other commitments and time constraints, it kept falling to the bottom of my to-do list. Last Tuesday,...

Emotions drive our perception of time: boredom, sadness, anxiety, fear, and stress all make us perceive time as being slow while happiness, joy, excitement, engagement, and interest all make time feel like it is moving swiftly. As I start to reflect back on Q3 in relation to my quilting goals, it is amazing to me that we are already...

I was able to get the quilting completed on the 2718 quilt that I'm hoping to have finished in time to submit to QuiltCon at the end of the month. There were a total of 1,800 thread tails that needed buried as part of the quilting process, so I knew that I needed a short break to do something...

While waiting on many fabric orders to arrive to fine tune my fabric selection for the Highland quilt, I pulled out some fabric from my stash, printed out templates, and made a test block. I had originally made a double orange peel block using only traditional quarter circle templates when I made my Orange Peel Chain quilt in 2024,...

Yvonne is a technical writer in the aerospace industry by day and a modern quilter and quilt pattern designer by night. She was introduced to quilting by her paternal grandmother in high school when her grandmother offered to hand quilt a twin-size quilt to use in her college dorm room if Yvonne made the quilt top. Yvonne has developed a style that bridges her technical background and love of color, specializing in curves, transparency color play, and bold, geometric designs. Her award winning quilts, which have been featured in numerous national and international magazines, quilt shows, and books, often incorporate the quilting plan as a key design element, and she quilts her quilts on her domestic Juki sewing machine.
