Quilt Reveal – Tea Time Quilt – The one with Stardust fabrics

I’m really in love with this quilt. There’s not much to it either, only a gazillion half square triangles. There’s nothing to figure out and nothing to get wrong. No block will accidently be turned the wrong way. You will learn to make half square triangles. Again, and again, and again. 🙂 This quilt is called Tea Time. It’s time consuming, but not difficult. I have a ritual for my HSTs. A method of trimming and pressing that I don’t stray from. This pattern teaches that and three different methods for making half square triangles, so whether you...

Quilt Reveal – Migration Quilt #4 – The one with all the Liberty + Low Volume

I am absolutely tickled pink to be showing you my fourth Migration quilt today. Migration is a very simple quilt. It can be very quickly made which makes it the perfect quilt for gift giving. You can see my third version of this quilt here. The other Migrations I made pre-date this blog. Migration is the second pattern included in the Scrappy Pattern Pack. This pattern set releases on October 30th. Though it be simple, I think it’s a visual feast! The first time I made this quilt was many, many years ago and it...

Quilt in Progress – Tea Time Quilt

A month or so back Michael Miller sent me some fabrics, some I requested and some as a gift. I talked about this a bit here. I had intended to use some of these in little pouches, but as soon as I held them in my hands I knew they wanted to be more. And since the Tea Time quilt needed doing, all came together for them being used in this quilt. The Tea Time quilt pattern is part of my Scrappy Pattern Pack I mentioned a time or two to you. It contains three quilt patterns: Trippy,...

Three different kinds of quilts

Out of print gnome fabric I overpaid for by Heather Ross, but don’t regret it because it makes me smile. I have several quilts going on at once. Some that I haven’t worked on in many, many months. Still, I keep adding to my list of quilts in the making. There are just too many. Why do I keep starting new projects? Just finish what I start. Right? Are you doing this too? I’ve decided that there are 3 different kinds of quilts: The Slow Make quilt – it’s the one that’s made one block at a time. It’s...

Wandering Quilt – Kathy’s Kitschy 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 a list, and you send it to the next lady on the list), they have a month to add on to your starter block and get your quilt going. Then, they send it to the next woman on the list and so on and...

Quilt Reveal – Tiny patch quilt

The definition of a scrap quilt – a quilt created out of several pieces of various fabrics, frequently these pieces are extra pieces of fabric from past quilting projects. I finished this quilt this weekend. You might remember me discussing this quilt and my scrap fabric storing system. If not, that post is here and includes the quilt pattern for this quilt above. It feels good to use my scraps. It means I’m not wasting fabric and money. It’s also a weight lifted. Let’s face it, when things are sitting around without a purpose they start eating at us....

Housekeeping 2.25.2020

Hi! I’m just popping in here today with a quick housekeeping post. If you purchased any of my patterns before then you know that I almost always include video tutorials with them to help you along the way if you are a beginner or just learn better by getting a visual. There are so many of the same building units that go into many different blocks and I find myself doing the same steps over and over again. Let’s say I’ve got a new star block, but before I can show you how to put it together, we...

Year in Review – 2019

Hello, hello. I hope your holiday week was as lovely as can be. Instead of the usual Monday is All About Fabric post, I’ll be sharing my year in review. I did this last year too. It’s good to look back and remember all that we accomplished, I think. I know I like to remember! Missing from this list is all the commissioned wedding and memory quilts. I don’t take pictures of them and I never post them on the blog, so I’m not including them here. Enough rambling, let’s get going. This is going to be...

What is a Pattern Tester?

Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt This is a question I get asked weekly. Probably because I talk about my testers often on Instagram. So I thought we’d go through this today. It’s a fun topic, I think! Big businesses probably have trained copy editors for testing, but us indie businesses count on the average quilter to help us get our patterns edited. A pattern tester is exactly what the name implies, they are a person who tests the pattern for the designer. It’s an important task! If I’m selling a pattern, I need every single typo correct, every math...
