Savannah Star – Quilt for The Quilter’s Planner

I was preparing a blog post to link up with the Best of 2017 Linky Party hosted by Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs, and I realized that I have a quilt finish from 2017 that I haven't shared about! That is very unusual for me. I figured I would share about the quilt before I posted my Best of 2017...

High Road Low Road {Finished Quilt}

I am really pleased with how my quilt, High Road Low Road, finished. It started as a re-examination of the block and piecing technique that I used for Beacon, and morphed into something entirely new. And then I let myself play and have a lot of fun with the quilting. This is a very double sided quilt, in my opinion,...

Seahawks Quilt

Have you ever had a quilt that seemed like it needed to be made. right. NOW?!? This quilt definitely falls into that category. It clearly is not my typical style, but I am oh so glad I had the ball rolling on this one because the timing ended up working out perfectly. In fact, I was in such a...

Red Herring

I finished Red Herring, and I am so excited to get to reveal the whole quilt to you today. Well, the wind was as excited as I was yesterday. The photo shoot was a bit of of a challenge, to say the least. But with the corner flipped up, you can see how beautifully the Kona Bahama Blue (background) and...

Crib Sheet Baby Quilt IV

When I picked up the crib sheets to make the Doggie Baby quilt on commission, I also could not resist purchasing two other really cute crib sheets with a lovely gray and white / gray yellow and white animal theme. Knowing that I can make these crib sheet baby quilts in 2 hours and have a low cost item...

Doggie Baby Quilt

My sister-in-law and her cousin (does that make her my cousin-in-law?) commissioned me to make a quick baby quilt from fitted crib sheets for a close friend. They are all close due to their relationships with their fur babies (dogs). I used the same Circo 100% cotton sheet for the front and back, and in 2 hours I had a...

Finished Bird Quilt

After Miss A's visit and quilting on Monday morning, I had my normal Monday chores to get out of the way in the afternoon. Boy is grocery shopping at 8am much more pleasant than 2pm. But I digress. I was able to get the bird quilt loaded on my long arm Monday afternoon, and after puzzling over how to quilt it the...

HST Scrap Quilt {Finished Quilt}

I really love how the HST Scrap quilt came together! I went with much less dense quilting than I have been using lately and focused on using dot to dot techniques along with other straight line quilting patterns to hopefully enhance the geometric design of the quilt while leaving it very soft and fluffy. For comparison, the photo above is...

This is a baby quilt for a new family member, and her baby room is going to be decorated with a mermaid theme in aqua, coral, and white.

Fitted Crib Sheet Quilt: Take Two

I published a tutorial a month ago on how to turn fitted crib sheets into quilts. I had been approached by people interested in having a very coordinated baby quilt to baby sheet option, and it worked out surprisingly well: there is a lot of fabric in a fitted crib sheet. Since then, I have purchased several sets of...

Diamonds in the Deep {Friday Finish}

I am really excited to say that this baby quilt version of the Diamonds in the Deep pattern is currently on its way to my "sister" in anticipation of the arrival of my nephew in June. I used Kona solids for the front: Royal Blue, White, and Lime. I really like how the splash of lime in the center of the...

Collaborative Baby Quilt

My mother and I collaborated to create a baby quilt for close friends. My mom pieced the quilt top and made an AWESOME quilt label. I did some quick piecing for the backing, quilted, and bound the quilt. Mom passed along the quilt to me when I was at QuiltCon, and I got the quilt done and shipped barely...

Elephant Parade {Friday Finish}

This week the Elephant Parade QAL hosted by Lorna @Sew Fresh Quilts gave instructions for the sashing, borders, and backing. But I couldn't stop there - once the quilt top and back were ready to go, I got it quilted up and finished! It was a super fun QAL, and I am thrilled with how the quilt came together. As you can see,...

Out of the Woods was my final quilt in my "to be quilting upon return from QuiltCon" queue. I completed it a week ago and this time I took my husband with me into some green rolling hills for a photo shoot. He was a wonderful and patient quilt holder. This large graphic quilt was really asking for a lot of...

The first quilt I completed was the fitted crib sheet quilt. I trimmed down each sheet to 40 inches wide by 50 inches long and added a simple...
