More Table Runners

Catchy title, huh? I made a lot of table runners while I was in Utah. For one, Chamaine has this cute little black hall table and I think we've informally set out on a quest to dress it for each...

Spring May Have Sprung...

Fall Table Topper

Photo from allpeoplequilt.com Last summer, when the October issue of American Patchwork & Quilting came out, I just fell head over heels in love with this little fall quilt. I love the warm color...

Quilt Shopping

Many of my favorite quilt shops are in Utah. In fact, aside from the one fantastic one in Stuart, Florida that I still dream about going back to, I'd say ALL of my favorite quilt shops are along...

Dot Dot Dot

I found this tutorial for a felt dot pillow on Pinterest (Pinterest? Really? You don't say.) and added it to the list of projects Chamaine and I would have to do while I was in Utah. You can fi...

Foodie Friday: Cinnamon Roll Cake

Yup. You read that right. Cinnamon Roll. And Cake. Together as one. It's like they just loved each other so much they got married or something. I think I just swooned. I found this little miracl...

A French General Valentine

My friend Alicia, of Fandango fame, was eyeing the Valentine runner I made Chamaine, so I got to work on one for her as well. She decorates with a lot of browns and reds (girl after my own heart), so...

Happy National Quilting Day!

And Happy St. Patrick's Day! This is the only quilt of mine I could find that had a lot of green in it. That explains why my green stash is so out of control. It's not getting put to use. B...

Home Is Where the Heart Is

I'm home now. Well, in Alaska anyway. I think I left my heart in Utah. Utah and I have had a tenuous relationship in the past. I'm a born and bred Californian, and when I moved to Utah in ...

This weekend we sewed. And sewed. And sewed. And ate. And ate. And ate. When our local quilt group gets together for a mini-retreat, there's one thing to be said. We eat like queens. If any of u...

A Little Bit of Everything All Rolled Into One

Falling for Fall
