I am LOVING seeing all of these! 🐻🐻🐻🐻 and just love seeing how the look changes depending on the maker. Everyone has their own style and the differences make everything more interesting and fun. Don’t you think?! ☺️

We had to change three of the fabrics, but it’s still so pretty and orange! There’s also a background option if you are interested. If you click a background option on the site it will show you what these fabrics look like with that background, which is so helpful when you are as obsessed with shades of white solids like me. ☺️

Wandering Quilt – tree of life, Susan’s

        I took this picture earlier today in my flower garden.  OR a somewhat flower garden.  It’s basically red orange clay and top soil laid on top.  Only the hardiest of plants have survived it.  The water drains terribly and in the summer the ground in this spot is hard as if it is pure rock.  In a nutshell, the worst spot in all of my yard to have put a flower garden. But it runs by the fence in the backyard, and there is a table with an umbrella nearby that I like to sit...

Yoga and the turquoise and gold orange peel quilt

Hiya! You may notice that I do quite a bit of quiltmaking.  And that means many hours sitting at my machine and many hours of my neck bent in the same position.  I tell you this little personal story in case you too have been suffering as I have. I have had many knots at the base of my neck and have gone here and there to massages to work them out.  I’d feel pretty good for a week and suddenly the ache was back. At the beginning of this year, my neck pain had gotten so bad that...

Orange Peel Quilt Tutorial

Helloooooo! The past few days I have been working on an Orange Peel quilt.  I thought I might share my method. There are 3 ways to make an orange peel quilt: 1. using needle turn applique 2. sewing curves 3. raw edge applique Today we are going to explore method #3.  It is easy.  It is fast.  And it is lovely. The above picture shows my chosen fabrics.  The three stacks on the left are going to be my background fabrics and the three stacks on the right are for the peels.

Quilt Reveal – hexagon quilt #3

  A little history The hexagon quilt goes by many names throughout history:  Honeycomb, Mosaic and sometimes Six Sided Patchwork.  It’s beginnings were random layouts without too much attempt at color or design. The first hexagon quilt pattern was published in 1830 in The Godey’s Ladies Book according to WomenFolk.com.  It was popular because a quiltmaker could use many tiny scraps of cloth and it was soon realized that the design possibilities were endless. By 1930, hexagon quilts had mostly ceased to be random and became patterns that we know today like “grandmother’s flower garden” or “Field of Diamonds”....

Quilt Reveal – Cara’s Quilt – another Tiny Patch Quilt 

Hey, hey! Have you ever been given a quilt of a gift? I have only been given one, and it was my great grandmother’s.  My heart sung that day. I grew up in a house where there were no quilts.  I remember them at my grandparent’s house, but none lived with us.  These days, I am remedying that and filling every square inch of my house with quilts.  Come here and you will find a quilt on every bed. I think the vast majority of people do not spend as much time as I do thinking and petting handmade...

How to make a hexagon quilt with half hexies – free quilt pattern – 5 different sizes

Hey, hey! This week is MY week of hexagons.  I have cut up 3 different hexagon quilts, one of them is for a  custom order you will see in this post.  Very scrappy.  Two more to come soon, one will be a new pattern.   I’ve been asked for a tutorial and pattern details for this hexagon quilt that uses half hexies.  This will be a LONG post, so let’s get right to it.  No history this time.     I am NOT in to spending money on rulers I don’t use.  I’ve made that mistake before, maybe more...
