Frost Filigree {Pattern Release}

I have several reasons to celebrate today: it's my birthday, and I have a new pattern that I am excited to release! When I finished Frost Filigree earlier this year, I had intended to publish a quilt pattern for it shortly thereafter. But as often happens, life intervened. My key distractions toward making progress on writing the quilt pattern were...

When I last shared about Frost Filigree, I only had 3 more colors of quilting to finish. Last week, I not only finished the quilting but I was able to fully finish the quilt. Gosh does it feel good to celebrate this finish with you today! One of the reasons I think I had been dithering on moving forward with...

In the lull week between Project Quilting prompts, I decided to pull out one of my WIPs and make some progress. I drug my feet getting started on Monday, but I did clean my machine, change the needle, put on my walking foot, and get it threaded and ready for Tuesday. I decided to start with Frost Filigree, because...

It's been almost a month and a half since I turned on my sewing machine. Back then, I was starting the quilting on Frost Filigree, and my husband came in and took a few photos of me working the quilt through the throat of my machine. I had to look at the date in the meta data of the...

Frost Filigree {Quilting Plan + Basting}

Between all the life stuff going on (trying to address health topics for myself and my husband), the intense social and political things going on in the US and around the world right now, doing some pattern writing, and all the things I want to be doing in my quilting studio right now, it has been a while since...

Frost Filigree {Color Bleed}

There are several reasons I haven't been making progress on my Frost Filigree quilt top. One is that I've been busy behind the scenes working on a few fun things (a collaboration that I'll be able to share with you next week and finalizing the design for my next quilt along - Quilting Jetgirl Patrons will get the details...

Frost Filigree {Pieced Quilt Top}

It has been busy here on my blog for the past few weeks, and during that time I've been making slow progress toward getting the quilt top for Frost Filigree pieced but I just haven't had time to work it into my posting schedule. As I was working, I started to worry that I was just going to have...

Frost Filigree {Quilting Plan}

Sometimes when I travel, I have all these big ideas of what I can get accomplished. For QuiltCon this year, I was a lot more realistic: I decided to doodle and try to come up with a quilting plan for Frost Filigree. On my flight to Raleigh, I got started with some initial quilting plan doodles. It always takes me...

I spent the afternoon and evening on Valentine's day working with my fabric pull for Frost Filigree and cutting everything I need to get started piecing. Knowing how little I enjoy cutting fabric, I started by cutting out the background fabric. About halfway through getting the background fabric cut, I needed to pause to go on a walk with a...

In January 2022, I spent several days doodling up a lot of different quilt designs. I did not love all of them, but I knew I wanted to make several of them. It's time to turn one of those ideas into reality: Frost Filigree. Above is my original design. I love the red and white colorway, but while I could...

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.
