I finished reading Eleanor Olipant is Completely Fine. SO GOOD. Not my usual depressive grief stricken favorite books, but instead it was somehow both deep and light and made me constantly giggle.

Quilt Reveal – Tiny Patch Quilt – made with clothing

It’s been awhile since I posted a quilt reveal.  I’m almost ashamed.  To be fair to myself, I have finished other quilts, but it hasn’t been anything new that I’d want to show you.  It’s just been me filling custom quilt orders that you’ve seen me make before. This one’s a bit different though. It is made with somebody’s husband’s clothing.  This kind of quilt is always so meaningful to me. It was mostly men’s dress shirts and slacks, a few Hawaiian shirts, some jeans.  I mixed them all with low volumes for a checkerboard design.  I couldn’t resist...

How to choose fabric for a quilt – Being Thoughtful about your choices + 3 methods for choosing + a freebie worksheet

Hey, Lovelies! Today I wanted to talk about my personal favorite part of making a quilt:  choosing fabric.  Yah!  Are you excited? Fabric combinations are subjective.  I may just be enamored with something that you don’t find pleasing to the eye whatsoever or vice versa.  I may hate a particular color combination, and you may love it.  To each her own.  BUT have you ever made a quilt and you are frustrated with the fabrics you chose or maybe it’s the fabric combination that you came up with.  In my early days of quilting, I did this ALL.  THE. ...

What is cheater sashing? + A Granny Square Quilt (quilt reveal)

Hey sweet quilt loving people!  The above is a bit of Fall happening outside my home and here is a bit of Fall happening inside…. This is a granny square quilt block.  You remember we went into all the details and tutorial here.  It’s one of my favorite quilt blocks and I’ve wanted to make a quilt with this block for years.  Instead of using my scrap bins for this project I’ve used men’s dress shirts.  They were sent to me by someone who wanted a keepsake of her father.  Remember the last one I did?  Working with men’s...

Quilt Reveal – My Eowyn Quilt is Finished + thoughts on hand quilting

I’m pretty smitten about this quilt.  When I discussed it in my previous post, I was talking about trying hand quilting.   I decided to machine quilt first and then add the hand quilting.  This might have been a little backwards to the correct way of doing this, BUT it really was what and how I wanted to do it. I was planning on dragging this quilt about on a camping trip we went on and I wasn’t positive about how long my spray basting would hold up.  Machine quilting would sturdy everything up for me and then I...

Quilt Beginnings – Quote Quilt and all the supplies

Inspiration. It’s a pretty amazing feeling.  I don’t always have it, but when I do it almost feels like my mind is soaring. Ideas.  Feelings.  Excitement. There is usually a beginning. From about this past November – January, I was reading The Lord of the Rings books.  I know, I know.  I used to hate when those movies would come on TV and my husband would watch them and I get annoyed, but I really just missed ‘it’.  I didn’t get it.  Until I did. I’m not sure what possessed me to start reading the books, but it was...

Quilt Reveal – Swoon #4, A Father’s Shirts

This is my fourth Swoon quilt finish. And one I think I might be the most pleased with. In my shop, I actually make quite a bit of memory quilts.  They keep a roof over my head.  I usually make them in the rag quilt style.  It doesn’t matter what materials I use, all are welcome with those quilts.  And the recipients are always so pleased with their purchase. It’s easy to understand.  They now have a quilt made with their child’s clothing that had up until the point they mailed it all to me, was sitting in a...

Quilt Reveal – 100 days Sky quilt

So there are quilts that you make that are super quick.  There are quilts that you make to get rid of your scraps.  There are quilts that you make that you are dying to make.  Then there are slow making epic quilts.  You know the ones.  The ones that might take you multiple months, years, etc because of their complexity. The ones you start gung-ho making, then get sick of and not touch for long expansions of time, and then start working on like a mad woman because you are all in love again. This is one of those...
