December Stash Acquisitions {Color Girl Quilts}

I "met" Sharon from Color Girl Quilts many years ago through one of the New Quilt Bloggers blog hop series. Sharon is the creator of the Classic Curves ruler. I happened to see on Instagram that she is closing her Color Girl Quilts shop, so I decided it was a good time to support her and pick up a...

I am currently working on a lot of different "secret sewing" projects, which is both exciting and frustrating. I definitely look forward to being able to share details about these projects when I can (stay tuned for more about some on Friday), but it's frustrating because I have less that I can share and talk about in the mean...

Stash Acquisitions

Continuing the recap from my time in Greenville, South Carolina... To unwind together on Saturday evening after a full day of teaching (me) and sewing (Cheryl), we watched Christopher (The Tattooed Quilter)'s recent webinar for the MQG: Perfecting the Perfect Flat Lay (note that the webinar link only works if you are an MQG member and logged into the MQG website)....

Baby Quilt Fabrics

I have a new idea that I have been wanting to test out and explore. It's part of a series of ideas I have that I call "Combinatorics". The easiest way to explain what I mean by combinatorics is making half-square triangles (HSTs) using the two at a time method: you start with 2 base blocks (plain squares) and...

Sunday Stash {10/18/2015}

Two weeks ago, when I posted my last Sunday Stash, I thought I was done with fabric purchases for a while. Funny how winning a gift certificate can change the best made plans! :) Many thanks to Jenn @A Quarter Inch from the Edge for hosting Throwback Thursday and Alanna @Fridays Off for supporting Jenn and offering a gift...

Sunday Stash {5/3/2015}

I was out of town last weekend and had a lovely opportunity to visit with Renee @Quilts of a Feather. We decided to split a purchase of the Denise Schmidt solids from Massdrop - a beautiful rainbow collection of 75 fat quarters. We got together for a bit of breakfast and then we pulled out fabrics two at a time and...

Fabric Request

I am looking for fabric that I cannot find in any online shops anymore. Does anyone have any Terrain in Green from the Carolyn Friedlander Architextures line that I could purchase from you? I know it is a shot in the dark, but I thought it might be worth a shot. Thanks!

I pulled a set of fabrics on Sunday afternoon that I wanted to work with this week. I thought I had a plan for a pattern I wanted to use, but this morning I tossed that idea and went looking on Pinterest for inspiration. I came across this wonderful tutorial in the Moda Back Shop: Positively Perfect Nap Quilt....

Sunday Stash {5/11/2014}

A few months ago I had the pleasure of going to TN to visit with my family and meet my niece, Lillie, for the first time. Yes, I absolutely am smitten by her but I will do my best to spare you all my squee and delight over her cuteness. :) While I was there, my mother (who is...

Sunday Stash {5/4/2014}

I have to say that I have been looking over everyone's Sunday Stash posts and being a bit jealous of all the beautiful fabrics! I did a bit of fabric reorganizing this weekend, and I fell in love with my own stash all over again. So I suppose it would be a bit helpful for me to curb my...

There has been a surprising amount of discussion about synesthesia over the past few years. I am going to quote the introduction to Wikipedia's article on synesthesia: Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. People who report such experiences are known as synesthetes. Difficulties have been recognized...

Yvonne’s quilts have been featured in numerous national and international magazines, quilt shows, and books.
