I am LOVING seeing all of these! 🐻🐻🐻🐻 and just love seeing how the look changes depending on the maker. Everyone has their own style and the differences make everything more interesting and fun. Don’t you think?! ☺️

We had to change three of the fabrics, but it’s still so pretty and orange! There’s also a background option if you are interested. If you click a background option on the site it will show you what these fabrics look like with that background, which is so helpful when you are as obsessed with shades of white solids like me. ☺️

Work in Progress – Bohippian Quilt – 70s Vibes

  You may remember this quilt. I loved that rescue quilt! Since I didn’t make it though, it wasn’t in MY colors. So I got it into my head that I need to get busy on a flower garden quilt made in the same manner with all the things about that rescue that I loved, but also with colors that I love. So that’s what I’ve done. I’ve started another English paper piecing quilt. I have no time frame on this one, it’s all very chill. There will be a pattern for it though that I hope to release...

Quilt Reveal – Oh Honey Quilt

  This is my first large finish with anything to do with English paper piecing.  And I’m feeling a sense of accomplishment, nevermind that it’s only partially EPP.  It’s still a giant finish for me and one I’m pleased to have completed. I designed this quilt last Fall in Illustrator and as always, pined away on other projects before I could get to it. I’ve got more ideas that I have time to finish, as we all do.  It all started with a vintage quilt (as so many of my patterns do) and I saw that diamond or petal...

How to Hand Applique

  In this post, we are chatting about hand applique. I’m posting this during EPP week, but know that though many use hand applique with their English paper piecing, hand applique can stand all on it’s own.  There is no end to all the shapes you can applique.  So this tutorial doesn’t only apply to EPP.  You can use this method for anything you wish to hand applique that has a finished and ready edge.   Supplies for Hand Applique Clover thimble Applique needles Milliners needles Microquilter thread Snips         I really love hand applique and...

Coming Soon + Work in Progress – Oh Honey Quilt

  Hey!  Today, I’m excited to show you what I’ve been working on for the last five weeks.  Slow work!  Like so very s l o w…… and relaxing and peaceful.  I’m really excited about this next quilt pattern.  I say that a lot, and I always mean it, but I’m REALLY excited about this one.  It has consumed me this last month.

The Kingfisher Stitch-Along

I’m helping promote the Kingfisher Stitch Along hosted by Rachel of Stitched in Color and Jodi of Tales of Cloth, two AMAZING quilt makers. If you’ve been following me in my Instagram stories, this is the project I’ve been working on secretly that got me hooked on these hexie flowers and made me want to keep making them. I love how portable and slow this work is.  Every time I lounge about outside, I’m working on my EPP, on car rides I’m working on my EPP.  You get the picture.  It’s addicting!  Why haven’t I finished my Gypsy Skies...
