Geez Louise, I’m done. This was one of the most Geez Louise, I’m done. This was one of the most stressful quilting jobs I’ve done. If you saw my post a few days back, you know that this #rescuequilt flimsy did not lay flat. NOT by far! No matter how much I tried I couldn’t get it. I just couldn’t. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I had to resort to sewing little tucks. I’ve tried to make them invisible as best I can. And the whole time I’m quilting I’m just fretting and worrying over it. I finished the quilting this morn about 1 am and I pulled it from my machine and threw it on the floor to give it a quick look over. I couldn’t even see all the tucks. 👏🏻 If I’m looking for them I’ll find them, I know. Lots of imperfections. But you know what? I’m not even going to look. Why would I look for imperfections when all I see is this lovely vintage beauty. I cannot wait to get it bound and washed up.

Quilt Reveal – Para Para Quilt #2 – Violet Sky Fabrics

  She’s done!!  I feel so good about this one.  It’s very rare for me not to have some changes I wish I had made on fabrics, but on this quilt I really love all the fabrics used and how they look together.  I did get creative with my free motion quilting too and that’s what I was wanting to talk with you more about. Before we get all chatty, I just wanted to remind you in case you missed it, we are currently having a quilt along for Para Para.  You can find all the posts here.  And...

Quilt Reveal – Single Irish Chain – FREE Quilt Pattern

  The quilt pattern I’m talking about today, I haven’t made in years, but when I first started quilting I made this quilt often.  It’s one of those quilts that uses up a fair amount of scraps, somehow always looks good, and the beginner quilter can handle easily. If you are have lots of smaller cuts of fabrics or have a box of 3.5″ squares like me, this is the quilt for you.  Keep reading!  I’ve got you a free pattern download today!       While working on this quilt I was often thinking back when I first...

Quilt Reveal – Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt #9 – Autumn Joy

  Well, she’s done.  With a single day to spare.  By the time you are reading this I will have already gifted this quilt to my beloved daughter, Raven.  She’s watched me make it and claimed it fairly early.  🙂  I so enjoyed making this quilt with all of you who participated in the quilt along.  It was really lovely getting to know so many new faces and chatting with those of you who have quilted along with me before. And it’s my 9th Little Miss quilt!  Here’s all the others in case you missed them.   My Most...

  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 for this year with you too.   Available For Pre-order At Home by Bonnie + Camille     I spent most of...

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 project, to not waste good craftsmanship (usually done by hand), to ogle long ago yummy fabrics, and to breathe in a little old inspiration and make...

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 I’ve been feeling lately.  I really enjoyed this one!  View my previous version here.   The Morning...

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 for my HSTs.  A method of trimming and pressing that I don’t stray from.  This pattern teaches that and three different methods for making half square triangles, so whether you...

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 releases on October 30th.       Though it be simple, I think it’s a visual feast!  The first time I made this quilt was many, many years ago and it...

    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!

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, Tracy!) and the fact that this quilt is mine.  I’m not gifting it to someone else, I’m not saying goodbye.  It doesn’t...

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 palette which was kinda chosen by the lady who commissioned this one.  She gave me a picture of a sunset, a dark and moody...

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 between other projects.  Like that last one I finished last December. I’m of the opinion that the Trip Around the World quilt is the...

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...

  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...

  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...
