Well, she's done. My very last finish in 2019 and the one I spent all of 2019 wanting to make. If you missed my last posts on this Para Para quilt, you can find them here, here and here. Happy New Year by the way! I'm looking forward to 2020 and I'm getting asked many questions about quilt alongs and things like that, so I thought while I'm showing you Para Para, I'd share my goals ...

The Rescue Quilts – #10 – A Grandmother’s Flower Garden Quilt
The Rescue Quilt series is about finishing up quilt tops that were never completed and then remaking the pattern. Sometimes I find easier / modern ways to make the quilt pattern, and sometimes I change up the pattern a bit to freshen things up. Other times I just finish the rescue quilt and end the project there. The goal is to honor the quilt maker who made the quilt top by completing their ...
Quilt Reveal – Morning Sun Quilt #2 – The Fall Colored One
I got myself busy a couple weeks ago on a commission for my Morning Sun quilt. This is only the second time I've made the quilt, but I'm so glad I got the chance to. I'd forgotten how fun this one is to work on and how unique it is to many of the other quilt patterns I've done in the past. I wasn't given any instruction on the quilt, only to make a version and so I chose colors that ...
Quilt Reveal – Tea Time Quilt – The one with Stardust fabrics
I'm really in love with this quilt. There's not much to it either, only a gazillion half square triangles. There's nothing to figure out and nothing to get wrong. No block will accidently be turned the wrong way. You will learn to make half square triangles. Again, and again, and again. :) This quilt is called Tea Time. It's time consuming, but not difficult. I have a ritual ...
Quilt Reveal – Migration Quilt #4 – The one with all the Liberty + Low Volume
I am absolutely tickled pink to be showing you my fourth Migration quilt today. Migration is a very simple quilt. It can be very quickly made which makes it the perfect quilt for gift giving. You can see my third version of this quilt here. The other Migrations I made pre-date this blog. Migration is the second pattern included in the Scrappy Pattern Pack. This pattern set ...
Quilt Reveal – Trippy Quilt #3 – The Golden One + Pattern Tester Versions
I'm not sure that I've ever loved one of my quilts more. This is my color this year. Can't say I've ever loved the color gold before, but gosh right now, all the quilts want to be gold. The only reason some of them are not is because I'm forcing myself to chill out. Gimme all your gold fabrics! Let's talk/gush about Trippy Quilt! ...
Quilt Reveal – Bad Girl #3 – The Orange One from the Quilt Along
While this wasn't the quickest and it is the third time I've made this quilt and in the midst I always think I'll never finish, I'm finding this one to be the most refreshing one I've made. I'm sure it has to do with the oranges and corals and peaches, but oh! I'm feeling such joy over it! Maybe has something to do too with the longarm quilting that was done on it too (Thank you, ...
Quilt Reveal – Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt – #8 – The Sunset One
The stars aligned and all timing fell into place that I received a commission order for a Little Miss Sawtooth quilt at the same time I needed to make all of the video tutorials for the quilt along that starts this September. I fed two birds with one scone. So yay! I don't know that this is my favorite version of this quilt that I've made, but it's up there. I loved the color ...
Quilt Reveal – Trippy Quilt – #2 – The Colorful One
It feels like I've been working on this quilt for ages. Truly. Piecing tiny squares together is not for the restless. To be truthful, Trip Around the World quilts are for those that have so many scraps they are drowning in them and plenty of time to fuss over them. If this hadn't been a commissioned quilt, it would have been one that I took my time with and worked on here and there ...
Ruby Beatrice – Quilt Reveal – #2 The one with all that Quiltcon fabric
I know I might say this every time something new comes my way, but Ruby Beatrice is hands down my favorite quilt that I've designed. Maybe that feeling won't last forever, maybe something better will spark, it's hard to say. In this moment however, I'm absolutely in love. I blogged about this quilt first here, and here is my very first version. The Ruby Beatrice ...
