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 Quilt You might remember that this quilt was named after my grandmother. She’s the reason I chose to have it quilted with the Baptist fan pattern. One, she was an...

Random Sampler Quilt – Emerge Circle – Quilt Reveal

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 choosing in need. Read all of my Emerge Circle posts here. See all of our quilts and work here. I’ve had this one done for quite...

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 information from books, listening to my grandmother, fiddling my way through patterns that assumed you already knew “stuff”, and staring at quilts for hours...

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 bigger plans. I’m sure you remember these fabrics. You know the ones from here. I’ve...

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 do something very similar to that quilt, but you can’t get those Kaleidoscope fabrics anymore, so I ended up choosing all new AGF solids...

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 and messages, I think I will be breaking down and re-doing this quilt along. A bit of back story first….. Product...

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 that part of my stash is my absolute favorite! I’ve made this quilt so many times now, that I don’t even need to pull...

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 quilt. It’s nice to mix in a few quick and simpler quilt makes between some of the more difficult. Sometimes I like to challenge myself, other times I just want to make for the...

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 who made the quilt top by completing their project, to not waste good craftsmanship (usually done by hand), to ogle long ago yummy fabrics, and to breathe...

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 of the dark background. Let’s talk more about the Migration quilt.

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 and this one is the original version, but I did keep the centers of my stars the same colors as the star beams unlike in my pattern. I’m...

The Bad Girl Quilt – Quilt Reveal

It feels like it’s been awhile since I posted a proper quilt reveal. I must not be finishing many quilts lately. So today, I’ll be showing you my soon-to-release quilt pattern: Bad Girl. Now there is nothing in that name other than the fact that we had the Good Girl quilt which was pretty easy and perfect for beginners or when you need a quick finish, so I felt like a Bad Girl quilt was needed to balance things out a bit. Ha! And she’s not easy at all, in fact she takes some time with her half...

Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt #5 – Quilt Reveal

My fifth version of this quilt! And I may have cheated just a bit! That’s okay! I know several of you have asked for this quilt as a quilt along, and I hear you, but have I mentioned this is my fifth time making it? Until I actually do this as a quilt along again, you can go at your own pace by checking out this post right here. It’s great for beginners or anyone struggling with flying geese. This quilt has so many of them that you are sure to master this skill once completed. Feel free...

Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt for Rachelle – quilt reveal

Well, I didn’t get them out by Christmas as I hoped, but no matter. I promise it wasn’t for lack of working on them, but shipping to and from Alabama to Oregon (to be longarmed) and back again took longer than we anticipated. As a reminder, these are the three quilts that we (yes, WE) made for Rachelle and her family who lost their homes in the Paradise, CA fires back in November. Here is post #1 and post #2 if you haven’t read them yet. Product Spotlight 20 fat quarters (18 x 22) from the Sun Kissed...

An Updated WIP List + Trip Around the World Quilt Reveal – Trippy Quilt

It’s been a tough day. It’s been a tough week. I’m ready to be back in the swing of usual habits and routines. Pining for that in all truthfulness. I think we all know that there are some quilts that we begin that we don’t at all feel bad to let languish untouched for months/years/forever and then there are quilts that we will come across as we are tidying up and feel a massive pang of guilt over. My Trip Around the World quilt is such a quilt. I always felt bad to come across this one with...

A Pale Dresden Quilt – #7 – Quilt Reveal

I am thrilled to have my seventh Dresden plate quilt finished at last! This time super pale! I used fabrics from this post, plus a whole bunch of low volume squares from my stash. Just before making this one I designed my soon to come latest quilt pattern called Bad Girl. I can’t wait to show it to you, but as I haven’t made the first block for it yet, I’ll have to wait a bit longer. I would have already started it, but since it’s focus is mostly Dresden plates I didn’t want to start it too soon...

Carolina Mingle Quilt – #2 – Quilt Reveal

I might have gotten a bit of picture happy with this quilt. You are forewarned. There’s way too many pictures. I love this quilt. It’s a bit different for my usual scrappy loving self. There’s only a handful of fabrics that need to be chosen for it and the putting it together is quite easy breezy once you grasp the whole foundation piecing bit. Product Spotlight PRESALE: Cotton + Steel Basics – Fat Quarter Bundle Shop here. I really do enjoy putting this quilt together. There’s no frustrating parts to get through. It’s all strip...

View all articles in the series here. If you have something that you wanted covered, please let me know by contacting me here. I feel like with this quilt I’ve hit my most dreamiest project to date.
