Emerge Circle is a charity group I host under the umbrella of do. Good Stitches created by Rachel Hauser of Stitched in Color. Each month a different member of our circle is lead quilter. Lead quilter decides quilt pattern, size, colors, all the details and members of our circle send blocks to the lead quilter. The lead quilter finishes the quilt and gives it to a charity or person of their ...

Evening Walk Quilt Reveal + My New Patchwork + Quilt class for beginners
I feel like I've been talking about this for ages. It's actually been just a bit over six months. Still, that is a long time to be working on the exact same thing. This is my very first online class and it's for the beginner quilter. It was 2008 when I first started quilting and there were some blogs here and there and a few videos, but mostly I learned by just doing, gathering ...
Ruby Beatrice Quilt – #1 – Quilt Reveal – Crib Size is my Spring Clean Bundle
I know I say this often, but I think I've just finished up my most favorite quilt design to date. Whatever I'm currently working on tends to be my favorite, but this one. I know that I know that I will make many of this quilt. I plan on planting one of these babies on my own bed. Just wait until you see it in some of the other sizes. This is just a baby sample, but I've got much ...
Star Dance Quilt – #2 – Quilt Reveal
You might remember that last summer (2018), I hosted a quilt along for Coats + Clark over on their Make it Coats blog. Such a great experience that was and I learned so much from working with such a big company! Fingers crossed I get to do it again. Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked! I made my second version of the Star Dance quilt. You can see the first one here. I was trying to ...
Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt – #7 – The Coral Romantic Version – Quilt Reveal
So I don't know what it is about this version of this quilt, but I am finding it one of or the most romantic quilts I've ever made. I guess it's just the colors, maybe. The corals and oranges and bits of mint are certainly agreeing with me and the weather we are having here. I wish you were here and we were making this one together, but on that note, and after having numerous emails ...
Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt – #6 – quilt reveal
I hope that you are not getting tired of seeing me make this quilt. I'm pretty much making one every other month now. This was a customer requested quilt in blues and greens and low volumes as requested. The best part about this quilt is with the exception of the large low volume squares every single bit of this quilt top was made from my scrap baskets and boxes. Perusing through ...
Carolina Mingle Quilt – #3 – Quilt Reveal
I love, love, love doing quilt alongs with y'all. It really motivates me to stay on track and get things finished. I was also crazy inspired by these fabrics. I'm normally not into red, but the navy owned me to the bone and I loved the way the red roses popped from everywhere. Today, I'm showing you my third Carolina Mingle ...
The Rescue Quilts – #8 – Itty Bitty Trip Around the World – Quilt Reveal
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. Sometimes I will offer the quilt pattern to you free, sometimes it will be a paid pattern in my pattern shop. The goal is to honor the quilt maker ...
The Migration Quilt – #3 – quilt reveal
I've broken free of my usual boundaries. My usual boundaries, of course, being my love for low volume backgrounds. This was not free will. This is a custom quilt where I was told what background to use. While I'd prefer to see this quilt with my usual background, it's also nice to move out of one's way and try something different. I love the way those Liberty "butterflies" pop out ...
Bad Girl Quilt #2 – Quilt Reveal
I finished my second Bad Girl quilt (pattern releases Wednesday!). This time it's in wintery blue Essex linens. It's got some great textures. And those red roses in the low volume peeking out are making me squeal. Here was my first Bad Girl quilt, and you can see some of my testers versions here. This one might appear a bit different to you. My last one was the alternate version ...
