Lately – End of April, Early May

I am late with my ‘lately’ post.  Whoops! You can read the last Lately post here. I don’t like the weeks and months passing by in blurs, but sometimes it’s really hard to control. But I’ve been taking moments and purposely making them slow.  Doing with my hands, very S L O W movements.  Most…

Wandering Quilt – Rebecca’s Dandelion quilt

Just in case you are not familiar with traveling quilts here is the idea: Each member of your group creates a starter block and usually writes a journal with details, theme and style they would like their quilt to end up. You send your starter block to another member in your group (usually there is…

Quilt Reveal – The Meander Hexie Quilt

You already know how much I love Heather Ross fabrics. I have quite a bit.  I have quite a bit of oldies.  I only like to use smidgeons of it, because….. Well, I like to look at it on top of the dresser that holds my stash.  It sits atop on a pedestal begging me…

Monday is all About Fabric #10 – Random Prints from Art Gallery Fabrics

I think you know by now that I’m pretty smitten with Art Gallery Fabrics.  This is my 10th Monday Fabric post and I’ve featured Art Gallery in at least 3 of those. So yeah…..smitten. I like the drape of their fabric, the thin, silkiness that it has.  Their catch phrase is “Feel the Difference” after…

Quilt Reveal – My Eowyn Quilt is Finished + thoughts on hand quilting

I’m pretty smitten about this quilt.  When I discussed it in my previous post, I was talking about trying hand quilting.   I decided to machine quilt first and then add the hand quilting.  This might have been a little backwards to the correct way of doing this, BUT it really was what and how…

A Quilt Maker’s Terminology

A Quilt Maker’s Terminology

When I first started quilting back in 2008, there was so much to learn.  I’m still learning, constantly.  There is a never ending well of information to grasp in the quilting world. Learning what all the words in a pattern or blog post mean felt like it would take forever.  I’d read the quilt pattern,…

We have a cover! 📘✨ The Dilly Dally quilt bo We have a cover! 📘✨The Dilly Dally quilt book is officially coming together, and I’m so excited to share the front and back covers with you. This one’s been such a long, creative process, tiny blocks, thoughtful details, and now, a proper little book to hold it all.Swipe to see both sides of the cover. I can't wait for you to have this in your hands!#dillydallyquilt #quiltpatternbook #samplerquilt #southerncharmquilts #quiltcoverreveal #quiltinglife
Just wrapped up quilting the Dilly Dally quilt and Just wrapped up quilting the Dilly Dally quilt and I went all in on the details. ✨ Each block got its own custom design, some ruler work, some tiny free motion textures. In the sashing, I added soft squiggly lines that give it a crinkly, cozy look.But the borders… that’s where I tried something totally new. I marked a curving vine using a dinner plate (yes, really!) and freehanded a feather that snakes all the way around. This was my first time doing a border like this, and I just went for it. Organic, imperfect, but I love it.Swipe through to see all the texture and movement this quilting added to Dilly Dally. 💫#freemotionquilting #dillydallyquilt #quiltingdetails #quiltborder #southerncharmquilts #quiltingmotifs #samplerquilt

There’s no rushing a Dilly Dally quilt. 49 block There’s no rushing a Dilly Dally quilt. 49 blocks means lots of time at the machine, and I loved every minute of it. This pattern has a rhythm to it, a peaceful kind of repetition that lets you sink into the sewing. The kind of project that reminds you it’s okay to slow down and just enjoy the process.I used Jellybean Meadow fabrics for this one. Soft, happy, and playful. And they added just the right spark to every block with those fussy cuts.There’s a quiet joy in watching something grow, one stitch at a time. 💛🧵

If you’ve been eyeing Midsummery, today’s your If you’ve been eyeing Midsummery, today’s your last chance to pre-order! This is one of the prettiest, sunniest fabric lines I’ve worked with. And I couldn’t resist making something fast and fun with it.This is my Good Girl quilt pattern, but reversed! I used Midsummery for the background and kept the foreground in simple whites. Nothing fancy, just a relaxing, easy quilt top that came together in two days.Fabrics: MidsummeryPattern: Good Girl
Another peek at the Dilly Dally quilt. This versio Another peek at the Dilly Dally quilt. This version is stitched up in Jellybean Meadow fabrics, and I’m just about to start quilting it! 💫 Soft and swirly... or maybe a more geometric look?How would you quilt it?
Sunday is the last day to pre-order the Midsummery Sunday is the last day to pre-order the Midsummery fabric collection. If you've been thinking about grabbing it, now’s the time. It’s full of soft, happy tones that feel easy to mix and use, really versatile and just pretty. I am so into that periwinkle!I’m using it in a Good Girl quilt right now and just finished all the blocks. Did them all in one day. That’s how you know I was into it. Can’t wait to get this one stitched up.
