Coin Quilt #1 (quilt reveal)

Coin Quilt #1 (quilt reveal)

There is just something about emptying a box of scraps that feels good.  Really, really good. If you are following me over on Instagram, you might have seen me working on this quilt when it was just a box of scraps.  In my stories, I pulled out this box and it was just a full…

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…

Why you should store scraps by size + That Strawberry Quilt ( quilt reveal )

Two things you should know about me by now:  One is very obvious.  I’m obsessed with low volume and I’m not fond of straying from it.  Two is that I am methodical in my scrap storage. It sounds stuffy to be methodical about anything, or it does to me, but I like things in their…

Stomping Grounds quilt ( quilt reveal )

Hello, my loves. There is nothing I like better than a good scrap busting quilt.  This is such a quilt even though I didn’t get to use it for that purpose.  This was a commissioned quilt for me, but I went ahead and turned it into a pattern for future scrap using purposes.  I’ve sent…

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…

Quilt Reveal – Tiny Patch Quilt #3 – Take that, 4.5″ scrap bin!

Quilt Reveal – Tiny Patch Quilt #3 – Take that, 4.5″ scrap bin!

One way that I store scraps is by squares.  I have a bin for each different size from 2″ – 7″.  When one bin gets full, it’s time to do something with them.  For me, the easiest and most surest way to completely wipe that bin out is just by making a simple patchwork quilt….

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.
