Today, I am really happy that I can share that quilt and pattern, Dripping Stars, with you. And while the individual Dipping Stars digital quilt pattern is available for sale today in my pattern...

Garden Peony Pattern Release

When I shared about the recap of my 2022 goals in my 2023 goal setting post, I received some really lovely support and feedback. In particular M m mullins left this comment that got me thinking: I purposefully include "bonus patterns" in my more complicated curve piecing designs to show how to immediately put the large scraps to use in...

Sesen Pattern Release

Sometimes, a quilt tells you what it wants. Different colors, specific quilting motifs, a particular binding; whatever the case may be. Sesen has taught me that sometimes quilt patterns can tell you what they need to be. Today, after taking the time to really listen to what the quilt had to teach me, I am really pleased to be...

Scoop {Pattern Release}

I shared Scoop back in mid-November, and today I'm excited to announce the release of the Scoop digital quilt pattern!

Precession Pattern Release

When designers contract with magazines, part of the contractual agreement has to do with the rights to the pattern. I prefer to allow the magazine to have exclusive rights to the pattern for a period of time and to have them revert back to me so that I can release the pattern on my own as well. Today, I'm...

Introducing Transparent Ribbons {2018 Quilter’s Planner}

Quilting Pattern Selection Tips

A lot of the quilts I make are on commission. Sometimes it can be really difficult to walk a client through the decision process so that they select a quilting pattern that they will love. I have been working to develop a short questionnaire that I will occasionally use before digging in and discussing actual quilt patterns because being...

Namibia Trees {Quilting Detail}

I really loved how the quilt top for Namibia Trees turned out, and I wanted to spend more time thinking about the quilting than I normally do. Instead of an all-over quilting design, I wanted to do something a bit more around the tree panels themselves. I have never really quilted a meandering, rounded, stipple pattern, so why not start...
