Granadilla {2026 SAHRR | Finished Quilt}

I am so glad that I joined the 2026 Stay At Home Round Robin. It was such a treat to sew along with the prompts, and I am thrilled with how my quilt came together. Today, I'm pleased to share my finished quilt, which I have named Granadilla. A granadilla is a sweet, aromatic tropical fruit known for its bright...

Cynthia recently announced the Many Hands and Many Hearts March-May 2026 block drive: Mini Square in Square block. She requested the blocks be made in batiks. I don't have batiks in my stash, and the few I have in my scrap bins aren't big enough to use for a block. She did also mention that using blender fabrics would...

Round 6 {2026 SAHRR}

To close out the 2026 Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR) prompts, Anja told us that Round 6 is "quilter's choice" on Wednesday. I was excited to spend time designing my final top and bottom borders, and jumped right in to my design software (Inkscape) on Wednesday after I wrapped up my work day. Two things surprised me about...

Round 5 {2026 SAHRR}

I had to hustle today to get my Round 5 piecing for the 2026 Stay At Home Round Robin complete before the Round 6 prompt is shared tomorrow morning. For Round 5, Quilting Gail asked us to use 2 colors. I knew that I could happily add two color blocks down the side of my quilt top, but the...

Round 4 {2026 SAHRR}

I was thrilled when Wendy asked us to "show off our curves" as her prompt for the 4th round of the Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR) this week. I have a lot of curves in my quilt top already, so I knew I wanted take the time to think about a different kind of curved piecing to use...

Round 3 {2026 SAHRR}

I am really glad I had a few projects that distracted me from making progress on the 3rd round of the 2026 Stay At Home Round Robin this week. First, I went ahead and made a quick, small mug rug to meet the Project Quilting 17.3, Year of the Horst, prompt. Then, I was able to finish the Highland...

Round 2 {2026 SAHRR}

Well, I am really glad that I waited to sew on the blocks that I made in response to the 2026 SAHRR Round 1 prompt of hourglass. Huge thanks to Sandra from mmmquilts for suggesting I consider alternating red to lime green on the left and lime green to red on the right for the hourglass blocks. That ended...

Hourglass Progress {2026 SAHRR}

I was in the middle of working on my Starry Plaid quilt in response to the Project Quilting Scads of Plaid prompt when the Round 1 prompt for the 2026 Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR) was announced by Brenda of Songbird Designs last Wednesday. Brenda chose the hourglass block for us to work with for Round 1, which...

Center Block {2026 SAHRR}

I have watched from the sidelines for several years as friends participate (and help run) the Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR). This year, I decided to jump in. I will play catch up every other week if I choose to participate in Project Quilting Prompts, but the timing for making the 2026 SAHRR center block fell perfectly in...

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.
