The Blogger's Quilt Festival is allowing the entry of two quilts this spring, so I only thought is appropriate to enter our rockin' January quilt from the Cheer Circle of do. Good Stitches. There's...
This is a rare moment in The Clubhouse. You can see the surface of my cutting table. Truly, this never happens. I've gotta cut major yardage to attach giant background borders to my Terrain quilt,...
The first quilt seeing some background action this week is the Rose Star quilt. I cut up the first half yard of fabric that I ordered into hexagons and hexagon thirds. Then I pieced them into these...

With the Rose Stars all finished, it was time to pick a final arrangement. Here are the blocks on the design wall as they've been for the past few months. I did the quilty math at the end of...
Alright. It's serious milestone time. The last two whole Rose Star blocks are finished. I give you #48 and #49. This project has come a long way since I heard the siren song of Clare's Rose Star...

My neighbor wanted a bag that could accommodate a file folder. I could totally appreciate this, as my Everything Bag can carry my laptop, iPad, DSLR, makeup, water bottle, wallet, and sewing...
It's completely dizzying to see everything that I wrapped up in April. No wonder The Clubhouse is a mess ;-) Here's what I was up to! Updating the Quilts Page Marine Den Coloring Page Fusible...
I have a couple of Rose Star blocks completed thanks to some Sunday sewing action :-D I now have four whole blocks and seven half blocks to complete. I've got some other blocks cut and basted. I'm...
Taadaa! This lovely quilt is my fourth Marine Den, and it was so much fun to work with colors that I would have never thought to use. Yay, yay, yay, for other folks who have the gift for picking...
Last year, I signed up to be part of C&T Publishing's Creative Troupe. It's been a really positive experience for me. You can get ebooks for free in exchange for your reviews, and every now and...
It seems like I've been at the sewing machine non-stop, but at least there is a rockin' quilt to show for it. I just finished quilting, so tomorrow's mission is to square and bind. Then I've got a...
I managed to get a quilt top finished today by the skin of my teeth. I wanted to snap a pic before the sun went down, so here's the sunlight that I can work with at 7:45pm. Could be worse, right? I...
I've got a lovely quilt coming along on the design wall. I'll share some pics as soon as I complete the top, but I wanted to snap and share a shot of the lovely fabrics before the sun set today! I...
Here's some of the handiwork I have to show from the Austin Modern Quilt Guild Sew-In Day at the Northwest Sewing Center in Austin this past weekend. We had a spectacular time sewing and swapping...

Like the post title says, it recently came to my attention that I have made 26 quilts all told. Whoa. I had no idea I had made so many until I started reorganizing my "Quilts" page. (See the tab...
Ok, almost Wordless Wednesday. Upon seeing the design wall, Mr. Pins said "How are there so many of them?! How is this making any money?" To which I replied "It's not. It's making a quilt :-)" I...
March was a really productive month, so let's do a little wordless recap before I get completely intimidated by everything that needs to happen in April ;-) Guest Hosting at Freshly Pieced Lots of...
Here's the second of three quilts that will come out of the Marine Den pattern writing process. I had fun using the same Backyard Baby prints as I did with the first Marine Den quilt, but I had to...
My sister celebrated her birthday on Thursday, and I was super excited to make something for her that she'd been wanting for awhile :-D She fell in love with the Farmington Feathers print by Martha...
