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...

The Rescue Quilts – #6 – The Old Bow Tie Quilt (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...

Hand Cut Heart Quilt #7 + Free Quilt Pattern – quilt reveal + video tutorial

Today I’m showing off my 7th version of this quilt, all in blue this time, and I’m updating my tutorial of this block. I’m killing it lately with my scrap busting. Making monochromatic quilts is the way for me for this. Here’s what I do: I have a basket for each color of my scraps. All the pink and reds have a basket, all the greens, all the blues, each has their own basket. When the basket gets full, it’s time to USE them. If I don’t, I won’t have any place to put incoming scraps, so there’s my...

The Landslide Quilt #2 – Pattern Release + Quilt Reveal

Hello, lovelies! Today is the official release OOOOOOF…. Landslide quilt! Can you tell I'm excited? I'm beyond happy with this quilt, with the process, with my yummy collection of low volume, with patchwork, with making quilts, oh my goodness, I'm just happy with everything. And maybe a bit overwhelmed. Ha! I wanted to get a post up before about scrapping, but I wasn't able to. Instead, I'm just going to add that information into this post. When I make quilt patterns I make them for myself and for those who are just like me, but I'm hoping if you...

Modern Sewcialites Blog Hop – New Beginnings Quilt (quilt reveal) + How to square up a large block (video tutorial)

Hey sweet friends! Today I’m showing off my New Beginnings quilt. The block was designed by the talented Stephanie Kendron of Modern Sewciety. If you are not listening to her entertaining podcast while you sew you are really missing out! I don’t miss an episode. I myself have been featured on her podcast. You can listen to that episode here. But let’s get to the quilt…. Here’s the Deal We were given our choice of fabrics from Art Gallery Fabrics Capsules fabric collection (in case you don’t know, Capsules is AGF’s bite size collections), plus the use...

The Rescue Quilts – #4 – The Landslide Quilt ( quilt reveal ) – The New

Hey y’all. It feels like a long time since I did a quilt reveal. This thought made me go back and look and the last reveal I did was early May for this quilt. That’s not to say I haven’t worked much since then. I’ve got several quilt tops in the making, just no finishes. But today that changes! It feels good to finish a quilt. And this quilt feels especially good because it’s for my son, who apparently is pretty easy to please. So if you read my post from last Friday then you...

Good Girl quilt #2 ( quilt reveal ) + Get a quilt done in a weekend

Hey sweet friends! A week or so ago I tested one of my own patterns to be sure that YES, it can be completely finished up in a weekend. Well, at least the throw size can. I’m showing off my second version of my Good Girl quilt. This time is luscious plums, purples and lavenders. Find the pattern here. For this quilt, I made the lap throw size once again. I think it ends up really close to 60″ square, but not quite. This is a great size for just putting on your lap...

All About Scrappy Binding + Coin Quilt #2 (quilt reveal)

The other day I asked you about scrappy binding on Instagram. I was surprised how even things were on this topic. There were many who loved it, many who did not, and many who had never heard of it. Today I’m going into details about where the scrappy binding comes from, how to make it yourself and lots and lots of pictures. Where it comes from You’re binding a quilt and are left with this piece of binding. Sometimes it’s ten inches, sometimes it’s twenty. It can be any size under the moon, but there is almost always...

Anthologie Quilt (quilt reveal)

I am thrilled with the completion of this quilt. Making a quilt with such a large group is an amazing way to get your quilting on. This is my Anthologie quilt that I made from October 2018 to the end of March 2018. It was part of the #BariJQuiltAlong and took place on Bari’s blog here. During the quilt along I felt supported, encouraged, and excited throughout. If you find that you often stall in your quilt making, having a group or QAL to hold you accountable might keep you on pace a bit more. Also if you...

Indigo & Aster Quilt ( quilt reveal )

Last Fall, I made this quilt. There’s no pattern for it or even many details to remake it. I’ve had to wait quite a bit to show you, but finally. I was most excited about the hand quilting, but we will get to that! Bari J of AGF asked me to make a quilt for her booth in the Fall quilt market with her new fabrics called Indigo & Aster. I was instructed to use large pieces of fabric to show off the prints and I was given 5 fabrics in the collection to work with. I think this...

Me + Low Volumes = LOVE – Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt #2 ( quilt reveal )

I was so ridiculously pleased to get to visit this quilt again. For those of you who are newer around here, Little Miss Sawtooth was a quilt along I did late summer of 2017. It was meant to practice flying geese units, but also learn how to change up quilt blocks to make them your own. You can read more about the quilt along here. So let’s go put on a pot of tea, sit and sip, and gush over fabrics and springtime. Go ahead, I’ll wait. I’m already sipping my own tea. During the quilt along...

Coin Quilt #1 (quilt reveal)

There is just something about emptying a box of scraps that feels good. Really, really good. If you are following me over on Instagram, you might have seen me working on this quilt when it was just a box of scraps. In my stories, I pulled out this box and it was just a full of a very particular scrap: 6.5″ coins. I have always been somebody who saved all my scraps. The thought of tossing the precious and expensive bits of fabric irked me to death and I’d end up with these piles. They used to be piles...
