I pieced and chopped my multicolored strip sets into string-x blocks. The quilt reminds me of a flowery lattice against a stone wall. The various grays from the charm pack I used re...
The school year is over tomorrow, and there is so much to be grateful for, including the start of summer. I made these little note cards to accompany my teachers gifts (dont worry - the m...
Wow. Quilt market was quite an experience. I was able to help at the DS Quilts booth from set up through opening day. I had no idea how much went into putting together a booth, from...
Thanks to your well wishes and tips, my Wiksten tank is finished. The pattern is very clearly written, and the details of this simple top really make it feel like a quality garment. It ha...
I am not a garment sewer. In fact, it has been many years since I sewed anything to wear, but Im jumping on the Wiksten tank bandwagon. You can download the pattern as a pdf. It doe...
Thanks for all your comments. The randomly selected winner of Empty Bobbins Advent Activity Calendar pattern is Pamela, and it sounds like shes going to get a lot of use out it! Ive sent ...

Ive been working on a quilt for a publication. Writing patterns requires a lot of precision and some math, so for a change of pace I turned to my bin of scrap strips. A little mindless st...
Ive been waiting very impatiently for my pre-ordered copy of Quilting Modern to arrive. Ive mentioned before that Jacquie is a friend and the former president of my local Modern Quilt Guild cha...
Its that time of year again. My go to gift these days is ruffled wristlets, using my simple tutorial. And yes, I do have to go back read my own instructions every time. Now that my ...
I finished my first bit of Christmas sewing for the year. Actually, I would have done it in late November like everyone else if it hadnt been for Shea. She asked me to test one of her lat...
What a gorgeous spring we are having this year. I feel like Im diving right into it with the bright greens and rhubarb pinks of this improv block.This is going to be part of something larger.&n...
I can check two things off my list. I got both projects done on my sewing retreat, despite leaving early because of a family emergency (all doing okay now, thankfully). My first priority ...
I cant think of a cute or clever name for this smaller version of Flashdance. It is 26 x 31 before washing, so its wall hanging size or big enough to be a stroller/car seat quilt or a large dol...
Something about the colors of this quilt and the slashed solids remind me of the 80s and headbands, hence the name of the quilt. The quilt was actually inspired by this photo I ran across on fl...
This quilt design has been on my mind for a while now. Ive used solids, improv piecing, and lots of white, negative space. It feels really modern - even a bit of a stretch for me.&n...
Well I made a concerted effort to tone down my second attempt at an i pad cover to appeal to general audiences. Thanks for all the love for version one; Im pretty sure most of you are fabric ne...
I had another friend request an ipad cover. This is just the sort of thing I get all excited to make. It struck me as the perfect project to feature my new Ruby Star Shining typewriter pr...
I guess I could also call this post Deep Blue Baby Bib since I made the bib with the pieces I trimmed from this quilt. This bib pattern by JCasa is perfect not only for for scraps, as I found o...
Im testing a pattern for a friend. I wont be able to show you what Im making until May I think, but, here are the fabrics I chose. There are a couple of Annies Farmstand prints, a Cosmo C...
For a wall hanging, this little quilt has a lot of hours in it. Im glad I invested the time though, especially in the straight line quilting. The name of the quilt comes from all those li...
Im so excited to be featured on the MQGs 100 Days of Modern Quilting again this week. My Scrap Rainbow Quilt was so much fun to make. If youve been around here for any length of tim...
Ive been experimenting with scraps again, particularly, with neutral scraps pieced for sashing. I love how it creates subtle shapes within the larger shape of the borders.It adds a whole other ...
I made a quick gift for a friends birthday this week. She has a new i pad, so I made her this sleeve. I used this tutorial and some houndstooth suiting material. I lined it with lipstick ...

Im very excited to be a part of The Modern Quilt Guilds 100 Days of Modern Quilting today. Hop over there to see my thoughts on composing a quilt, featuring my Busytown quilt specifically.
I told you recently that one of my new strategies for dealing with scraps is to cut most of them into strips and squares. I used quite a few 2 1/2 inch squares in a bib set, but there were many...
