It didn't take long to puzzle together a layout with the Love is Love bonus blocks from the Sky Full of Stars quilt. And the quilt came together so quickly I was able to get it quilted and finished this week, too! The bonus quilt measured 50 1/2" x 60 1/2" when it was pieced and is now about 49"...

As I mentioned on Friday, the curve star blocks in the Sky Full of Stars quilt create great scraps that can easily be made into 5" finished drunkard's path bonus blocks.

The amygdala, a part of our brain, interprets change as a threat and releases the hormones for fear, fight, or flight. So our initial reactions to...

Without change, we are stagnant and do not grow. To transform, we have to accept and embrace change. There is so much about the process of creating a quilt that I enjoy. But nothing is quite as magical as seeing the transformation that occurs as a quilt top is pieced. Time to sew a few more seams so we can see...

Love is Love Pride Fabric Collection

A few years ago, Mathew Boudreaux (whom you may likely know as Mister Domestic) reached out to see if I had the time to make something with his newest fabric collection. Unfortunately, the timing didn't work out due to some other commitments that I had. Fast forward to about a month ago, and he reached out again to see...
