Chapter 6 of Soulshine Quilt Class – Quilting and Finishing

We’ve reached the final chapter of the Soulshine Quilt Class, and this one was a big one. Chapter 6 is all about quilting the quilt, and it took a little longer to get through. Life had a few interruptions along the way, but we stayed with it, and now I’m done quilting. If you’d like…

A Simple Quilting Room Refresh That Made a Big Difference

I recently spent a little time refreshing my free motion quilting space, and even though I didn’t make any big changes, the difference in how the room feels now is huge. For a long time, this space has been mostly practical. It worked, it held everything I needed, and I could sit down and quilt…

From Quilt Blocks to Finished Quilt Top

There’s a moment in every quilt when all the individual blocks finally come together. Up until then, everything exists in pieces. Stacks of blocks. Small sections. Parts of something larger. But once you begin sewing the rows and joining them together, the quilt starts to feel whole. This is the step where the design really…

Stop Fighting Your Snowball Corners

Snowball corners look simple. Draw your line, place the square in the corner, sew it down, trim the excess, and press. And yet… they come out a little off most of the time. Not wildly wrong. Not even close to a quarter-inch mistake. Just a tiny shift. A smidgen. Enough to make the corner feel…

My favorite thing is sitting outside and stitching My favorite thing is sitting outside and stitching and listening to the birds chirp and maybe an audiobook and a mug of coffee with a little horchata creamer..You can’t tell in the video but the finches are brave and bold this time of year. Getting super close chasing each other and I just keep waiting for one to land on me.
Can't remember if I've posted these pics here yet. Can't remember if I've posted these pics here yet. I did a little tiny room refresher. I think it made it warmer and cozier, which makes me a feel a little happier. Tiny things are the key to my happiness lately. Don't forget to find yours.Oh, I'm still looking for something to put in front of the table to hide the legs, the cords etc. I was thinking we could somehow fasten a chunk of wood and make it look more "desk-like". Someone on here suggested I make a quilt to put there (loved this idea). Do you have thoughts?
