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...

What is Raw Edge Applique? – Dresden Plate Quilt – #6 – Quilt Reveal

There is a lot of words thrown around by quilt makers that might leave an outsider or new quilter scratching their head. The What Is Series is where I tackle those topics. 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. I’m absolutely over the moon and I’m incredibly sad to ship it off to Switzerland where it will make its home. BUT I know it’s going to...

The Basketweave Quilt – Quilt Reveal

I got to playing around with my scraps and a new Basketweave quilt is what became of that time. This is my second Basketweave, the first precedes the blog, but it wasn’t pretty. This one is pretty, but something is still not right. Apparently, I didn’t care. As you can see I finished it. But I’ve got some ideas to make this better.

Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt #4 – quilt reveal

Yes, I made this quilt again! I really enjoyed this one too. I didn’t choose the colors, but I did get to choose all the fabrics. The star blocks in this quilt are just perfect for your scrap boxes. I could go on and on about how much I enjoy getting to pull those boxes down and validate why I keep all of them, but I won’t bore you to death. We have a lot of new readers lately. Thanks for showing up here to read about my quilts. I thought it might be nice to direct you new...

Loving + Hating a Quilt – Marcelle Medallion – Quilt Reveal

Today I’m talking about my Marcelle Medallion quilt that I just finally pulled from the dryer. I’m also talking about the many different stages a quilter goes through as she makes a quilt. You know the one’s: I love this quilt and I hate this quilt, sometimes I don’t want to finish this quilt and all the rest of them. SO many stages! They are all part of the process. And sometimes, at the end we really just don’t like the quilt we made. I started this quilt last April or May (can’t remember exactly), but it...

Good Girl quilt #3 – quilt reveal

Sigh…. You know how much I love this quilt. It might be my favorite quilt pattern. Well, at least in the top two of my favorites. It’s such a scrap buster. If you haven’t already purchased my Good Girl quilt pattern, do so here. This was a custom order quilt, so I don’t get to keep this one. Not that I have kept any of them. 🙁 I keep giving them away as gifts. I really need to make myself one of these, but I already have so many quilts. I doubt I’m alone in this. Here’s...

The Morning Sun Quilt – quilt reveal + pattern release

The Morning Sun quilt along is coming to a close! We are done! Well, I am done and a bit early, but last month’s work was pretty simple and I didn’t want you waiting on me! So whether you are actually finished or not is perfectly perfect. Don’t rush on my account! If you are hand quilting, take your time! If you sent your quilt off to a longarmer, all is well. I thought I was going to add a little hand quilting to my quilt, but ended up doing something entirely different. I got obsessed with quilting...

The Carolina Mingle Quilt (quilt reveal and pattern release)

Hello lovelies! It’s time to show you my completed Carolina Mingle quilt! I am so tickled with this quilt, it’s fabrics and that it traveled to far away lands with me. See here if you haven’t already. I hope that you will want to make this quilt too……because it’s available as a pattern! You can purchase it here. I’ve got so many pictures to fit into this post, so warning, warning. I might have gotten a little snap happy. 🙂 For this quilt I used all Sharon Holland’s Signature fabric collection. I wrote a post on those fabrics...

Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt Top #3 + Your Loved One’s Clothing – (quilt reveal)

I am over the moon about my latest quilt finish. As you may or may not know, I also make a lot of custom quilts for other people as a means for my income. Most of these quilts are memory quilts. Just in case you are unaware, a memory quilt is a quilt made with the clothing of a loved one. This clothing may be of someone happy and living and just a reminder of a time in their life such as babyhood, school age, college age, all those concert or maybe vacation tshirts you purchased or in can...

Hexagon Quilt #8 – quilt reveal

Sometimes it’s all about the fabrics. Okay, MOST of the time it’s all about the fabrics. 🙂 This time in particular because I love each and every fabric I used for this yummy half hexie quilt. I just want to snuggle all day. Get you a cup of tea and get comfy. Let’s look at pictures and talk about that dubious hard to conquer hexagon. Crinkly yumminess! If you’ve been a reader of mine for awhile, then you know I’ve made this quilt SO. MANY. TIMES. But what’s one more. This was a custom quilt request I...
