Now that the Highland quilt has been received by my in-laws, I can share about how it finished! I sent the pieced quilt top to Sew Shabby Quilting to be longarm quilted. I poured over all of Melissa's patterns, and there were several that would have been lovely with this quilt top. My in-laws and I chose the Bubble Glitter...

Just a quick update for today. Yesterday, I cut (11) 2¼" x WOF strips and turned them into a double folded binding strip so that I'll be ready to bind the Highland quilt when it gets back from being long arm quilted. Looking at the binding roll from the top down, an (11) strip binding roll is a large one! I...

Highland Quilt {Pieced Quilt Top}

Happy New Year! I am really, really happy to say that over the weekend I was able to get the 90" x 110" Highland Quilt Top pieced. Whew! I finished piecing the last of the blocks for the center of the quilt on New Year's Eve, and I used the momentum from finishing the blocks to fully finish the...

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...

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...

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,...

It has been a summer with lots of fabric orders for me. In addition to needing several orders to fine tune my fabric selection for the 2718 Quilt, I have been working to refine the fabric selection (thanks to all your wonderful input) for a new quilt for my in-laws. I find colors that can be both warm and...

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.
