Friday Tuts – How to choose a color palette based on a picture

I feel like I’ve covered this, but for the life of me cannot find the post anywhere on my site.  Maybe I didn’t title it correctly?  I’m working hard to get my site seriously organized, so if you see something that you think I might have posted before, it’s for the sake of organization.  Now…

Friday Tuts – Granny Square Block Tutorial

Friday’s tutorial this week is one of my favorite quilt blocks. Several years ago, a little after my love affair with crochet began and I started making pinterest boards about it, I finally sat down and let my grandmother teach me. It’s slow, time consuming and utterly relaxing.  And it’s for me.  I rarely share…

Scrapping Star Block Tutorial

This star block is the block I made from this quilt I discussed yesterday. If you are sitting on top of pile of scraps consisting of 2.5″ and 3″ squares, along with some low volume strips, this one is for you! I don’t know about you, but my 2.5″ and all even numbered squares, I…

Quilt Finish – Star Dance Quilt

I’ve been working on this quilt all of last week.  Not the one you see above my sewing machine, that’s a WIP, but the one you see at my machine. It’s a simple block, but I had to make 81 of them for a king size quilt, so it took me a bit. Here are a…

Slow stitches, soft light, and a quilt keeping me Slow stitches, soft light, and a quilt keeping me warm while I finish the very last binding. Pure peace. ✨🧵
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?
