The Everything Old Is New Again quilt is finished and the pattern is available in my Etsy shop. Actually, it’s been finished for almost a week, but I finally finished the pattern this morning. Why, oh why did I think the pieced border was a good idea?! It is easy to sew and adds a [...]

The coolest thing happened to me today – I was asked to speak at a local quilt guild, and THEY’LL PAY ME! Sure, it isn’t a huge amount, but I love public speaking and I love quilting and I love drafting quilt patterns, so to get paid for doing all three is just beyond fabulous. [...]

Working on Laura’s Quilt (aka Good & Plenty), I really fell in love with the clean, modern look of white and – . The boxes were fun and easy to make, but I thought it might be interesting to pair a modern color palette with a traditional style quilt. I played around a bit and [...]

This is in response to campfollowerbaglady’s Bushfire Quilt Project on Flickr. She’s collecting 12 1/2″ star blocks with light colored backgrounds that she will assemble into quilts for the people of Victoria, Australia, who are so tragically affected by the bush fires.
Since her address is an APO, those of us from the United States [...]

So I saw this gorgeous quilt on Flickr, then read about it on filminthefridge’s blog, then showed a friend, then HAD to write up instructions on the quilt. It has several names because I’m calling the quilt Criss Cross, filminthefridge is calling it Windmill Whimsy, and the “official” name of the block is Mosaic #10 [...]

The Icicles quilt top is done, quilted, and being bound as I type. (It’s nice to have a mom who enjoys binding.) Photos tomorrow, hopefully. I struggled with this one for far too long, trying to come up with an easy way to make it without foundation piecing. Silly me! Foundation piecing is easy, especially [...]

Okay, so it isn’t actually cut out yet. That will happen tomorrow. Tonight I’m just washing my new fabric purchase – an assortment of icy blue batiks from Moda’s new Let it Snow line (plus a couple of extras for variety).
Aren’t they gorgeous? I have a new quilt design – a very simple one – [...]
