Quilt Reveal – A Dresden Quilt #8 – Pink + Peach Combo

‘   Va va voom…. well, that’s how this quilt makes me feel. Like she’s a whole lotta woman and too much for me to be lugging around especially in the weather we’ve been having. I’m talking about my finished A Dresden quilt today. A king size! Every single part of her took forever as…

Work in Progress – A Dresden Quilt #8 – Pink + Peach Combo

  This one is a commission quilt and let me tell you it is taking FOREVER. I don’t make many king size quilts. This one measures 108″ square and every step of it is taking longer than I anticipated, which makes perfect sense since it’s so large. Still, I’m loving watching it come together. Pattern…

Quilt Reveal – Anthologie #2 – The Butterfly Version

  The entirety of the summer I’ve been working on this quilt.  I’m both pleased and sad to be finished with it.  I almost always enjoy working on my quilts, but this one was particularly fun.  I like these “quilt-along” way of making quilts.  I like sampler quilts!  You start out with a big fat…

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.
