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

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,…

Monday is all about Fabric #9 – Katarina Roccella prints

I didn’t get much fabric in last week.  It’s been slow in that way. I did however, get a print or two. I’ve got this thing for florals.  It’s pretty serious, florals and me. And this print seriously struck me.  This is the kinda print that has me doing double takes and buckling at the…

Pulled this one from my basket of rescue quilts 💕. She’s scrappy, pink, and pieced into these giant hexagons that I couldn’t stop staring at. The top had some little holes, but instead of “fixing” them, I just quilted right over so the story stayed in place.Now she’s sturdy, soft, and finished, with a seafoam binding and chunky pink stitches to cheer things on. Not perfect, but full of history and charm. You can watch the video of me finishing this quilt on my website today.#rescuequilt #quiltswithstories
Remember that big scorch mark I left on my wool ma Remember that big scorch mark I left on my wool mat? 😭 Y’all came through with so many tips, and @gina_tell_threadgraffiti shared the winning solution. Just put hydrogen peroxide on an old towel, lay it over the stain, and iron on top. The burn mark lifted right out, like magic. It even works on fabric stains and scorch marks too. I’m so grateful for this amazing quilting community 💕Beautiful gorgeous wool mat from @novodonquilting

I don’t usually make pouches, but I had the urge I don’t usually make pouches, but I had the urge to try something different. Quilted a simple grid on Wild Bloom Drama and stitched it up into these little quilted pouches. And honestly… I’m kind of obsessed. 💕
PSA to my fellow quilters: don’t leave your hot PSA to my fellow quilters: don’t leave your hot iron sitting on your wool mat while teaching. Ask me how I know… 🫠 What’s the worst sewing mishap you’ve ever had?
Day 3 (or is it 30?) with my first Faefolk quilt i Day 3 (or is it 30?) with my first Faefolk quilt in Everlush fabrics. Quilting on the @Berninausa Q20 sit-down and questioning my life choices… but wow, it’s going to be worth it. 🪡✨ Someday
Here are some still shots of my Faefolk quilt in M Here are some still shots of my Faefolk quilt in Maple Syrup Disco ✨🧵.On my first Faefolk quilt, I didn’t use pins. Partly because I was in a rush and partly because I had been working on Dilly Dally, so my piecing game was on point. Those seams came out perfect.I thought, “I’ve done it once, I can do it again.” This time I skipped pins, but I haven’t been working on anything fussy lately, and let’s just say the seams had a mind of their own. 🙃 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, going to be sending this one to testers this week!
