I’m back from market, unpacked, and enjoying having nothing to do…besides the normal stuff. I didn’t dare take my big camera…so I didn’t take any pictures (sorry)! The highlight this year was having ...
I have another block in the newest 100 Blocks magazine. You want to know something awful though??? Ok not that awful…but funny. An editor emailed to ask me whether I wanted my real name or Cluck Cluc...

I can’t get enough of plus quilts…obviously. I wasn’t initially going to make this pattern because there are plenty of plus quilts already out there…but I love that these can be made with 1 or 2 char...
This is my favorite quilt to date…no joke….I love it more than anything I’ve ever made. I made it in "my" colors so I can use it on my bed or the guest bed and stare at it everyday. It’s real...
I love this quilt. My summer project is going to be matching Pow-Wow quilts for the beds of my boys. My inspiration for this quilt came from this stamp set I saw in the fall…sometimes inspiration com...

I started this quilt with my Mom back in August….when the owner of those little feet up there couldn’t talk back yet. The chevrons are all cross weave solids, while the backgrounds are a big mix of ...
With Spring weather here it was time for a spring sewing project. This was made the same way as my first Petal Pillow, but with white fleece instead of felt and pointed petals. I can’t remember the ...
I hate unwrapping pre-cuts and ruining the perfect roll that’s been sitting on my shelf for months. I know…I know…there are worse things than having to use pretty fabric! The jelly roll is Vintage M...

Thank you for all the baby well-wishes…we are adjusting well and even managing to sleep well at night…imagine that! Luckily I finished up this quilt just before she was born. I backed it with a minke...
Sophie Dianne was born Thursday after a quick (almost too-quick!) labor. We sure love her and are soaking up every second with her. She was a chubby 8 lbs. and is just as sweet and easy as can be...
Every once in a while I pre-soak/shrink my batting…and since I get a lot of questions about it I thought I’d answer it in a quick post. I usually don’t pre-wash my batting unless I’m concerned about ...
