Quilt Reveal – Star Dance Quilt #3

My latest Star Dance quilt is finished. Here is the thing about this quilt.  It always starts out so lovely.  I’ve picked a nice color palette, great fabrics.  I love the blocks while they are being made, and then once the quilt is on the design wall, I start thinking, “Ugh.” It’s been this way…

Happy Mistakes – Quilt Reveal – Scrapping Stars Quilt

You remember me mentioning this.  Well, I found in a basket these little four patches.  I’m certain I was planning to make stars, but that is where my certainty ends.  I had lots of little pieces cut up besides the little 4-patches.  I do remember where my inspiration for this block comes from. The cut…

Quilt Reveal – Hexagon #4 + Granny Chic style + Quilt Kit chatter

Sometimes I will spend near two hours standing at my cutting table simply cutting up the pieces for a quilt top. But I like it. I’m thinking that it’s…

You might remember me discussing this quilt and my scrap fabric storing system.  If not, that post is here and…

Scraps with purpose

I think anybody who buys a lot of fabric ends up with a lot of scraps.  Anyone who cuts into there fat quarters and half yards knows what I’m talking about.  There are these pieces that end up leftover, not big enough to go back into where you keep your stash, but not small enough…

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
