What do you do when your pile of scrap batting has outgrown its dedicated space?? First off, I store it on top of my sewing cabinet, so from the beginning they are an eyesore. That’s because my cat loved batting if it was anywhere she could get to (soooo sad she recently passed away), she …
Guess what? It’s Tuesday. But it is not just any other regular dull and boring Tuesday because it is Quilt Pattern Release Tuesday! Which means it’s a party during the week, in mid-morning kind of day!! As you know, my pattern release days alway have a bang, and that’s the giveaway. We will get to …
This quilt is called my QuiltCon reject. It was one year ago today when I nailed down my design for my first-ever entry into QuiltCon. I was so excited.

I am done!! My Whole Lotta Love Quilt is finished. Working with Art Gallery Fabrics was a joy. The quality of their fabric is wonderful. It is softer than most quilting fabrics and lighter, too. It is almost like a lawn. Quilting the Whole Lotta Love Quilt Something that I did that was different with …
How this quilt came to be I love hearts!! All types and all forms. I don’t think anyone can have enough of them. Nor do I think we can have enough love. I have wanted to create an English Paper Piecing project for Valentine’s Day for a long time now. This is definitely not that …
Windmill Quilt Tops I am happy to present a tutorial I created for the Moda Bake Shop!! It was a two-part series on these three quilts. I see windmills. Do you? It is my nod to the new meets old in the world of windmills. The big chunky ones remind me of the old fashioned …
Holy Moly!!! I just found out that this quilt that I made for the Hoffman Challenge 2016 (called Garden Star 2 – A Butterfly Enchantment) has made it to the next stage. What does this mean? Well, I need to add a sleeve to the back of the quilt, as well as add a label to …
What is black and white with thread through and through??? The Me + You Virtual Fabric Challenge by Hoffman Fabric and Sewtopia Luckily I saw the post about this challenge as I was scrolling through my Instagram feed.

If you follow me on Instagram, you will see that since I moved to Arizona I have joined Block Busters, as well as a club called Loose Change Club (which just ended). They are both so awesome and occur on the first Saturday of each month at my LQS called Quilters Market. Block Busters is …
**I MOVED!! For the last month and a half I’ve been consumed with packing, purging (putting things aside for a garage sale or Goodwill), house rental hunting, getting our home ready to sell, and unpacking. It’s been complete madness! I think I’m still tired from the whole ordeal. My sewing machine was one of the …
Flowers are blooming, plants are growing, days are getting longer, and it’s getting super hot outside. Summer is in full swing, and so is wedding season. A childhood friend of mine is getting married this fall, which can only mean one thing — bridal shower time! In my eyes, the perfect gift is a quilt. Always. …
