Good Girl quilt #3 – quilt reveal

Sigh…. You know how much I love this quilt.  It might be my favorite quilt pattern.  Well, at least in the top two of my favorites.  It’s such a scrap buster. If you haven’t already purchased my Good Girl quilt pattern, do so here.     This was a custom order quilt, so I don’t…

Quilt Reveal – The Good Girl Quilt

Oh, this quilt! I’m really digging it.  I’m not sure if it was just the colors chosen that really suit my style, the abundance of low volume which I know you know I’m into, the incredible beauty of all those blue AGF fabrics or just the simplicity of it, but I’m going to put this…

Quilting Experiments + Falling Slowly Quilt #2 (quilt reveal)

I made another Falling Slowly quilt.  It’s one of my favorites, because the ease of which it comes together.  Once everything is cut, there is just a massive chain piecing session.  I zone out with earbuds in my ear and before I realize it, all the blocks are ready for the design wall.   Forgive…

The cut…

Quilt Beginnings – Quote Quilt and all the supplies

Inspiration. It’s a pretty amazing feeling.  I don’t always have it, but when I do it almost feels like my mind is soaring. Ideas.  Feelings.  Excitement. There is usually a beginning. From about this past November – January, I was reading The Lord of the Rings books.  I know, I know.  I used to hate…

Quilt Reveal – Hand Cut Heart Quilt #6

I have way too many scraps. SO. MANY. SCRAPS. You just can’t throw them away.  Heaven forbid. But if you are not using them they pile up quicker than itty bitty kittens. The trick is to use them quickly, but who can keep up with that? I got a quilt order for my Hand Cut…

I’ve been free motion quilting since 2018 and it h I’ve been free motion quilting since 2018 and it has been the slowest part of the quilting journey for me. It did not come naturally. I practiced through a lot of very ugly stitching before anything started to look the way I imagined it could.I keep seeing comments like “I could never do this,” and I just want to say… I used to think that too. I was you. It really does change if you keep going, even when it feels like it’s not working.Thank you for all the love on this piece this week. It feels like I finally hit a little milestone with my quilting, and that’s a pretty special feeling. ❤️
