Quilt Reveal – Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt #9 – Autumn Joy

  Well, she’s done.  With a single day to spare.  By the time you are reading this I will have already gifted this quilt to my beloved daughter, Raven.  She’s watched me make it and claimed it fairly early.  🙂  I so enjoyed making this quilt with all of you who participated in the quilt…

Quilt Reveal – Bad Girl #3 – The Orange One from the Quilt Along

  While this wasn’t the quickest and it is the third time I’ve made this quilt and in the midst I always think I’ll never finish, I’m finding this one to be the most refreshing one I’ve made.  I’m sure it has to do with the oranges and corals and peaches, but oh!  I’m feeling…

Quilt Reveal – Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt – #8 – The Sunset One

  The stars aligned and all timing fell into place that I received a commission order for a Little Miss Sawtooth quilt at the same time I needed to make all of the video tutorials for the quilt along that starts this September.  I fed two birds with one scone.  So yay! I don’t know…

Star Dance Quilt – #2 – Quilt Reveal

  You might remember that last summer (2018), I hosted a quilt along for Coats + Clark over on their Make it Coats blog.  Such a great experience that was and I learned so much from working with such a big company!  Fingers crossed I get to do it again. Anyway, I’m getting sidetracked!  I…

Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt – #7 – The Coral Romantic Version – Quilt Reveal

  So I don’t know what it is about this version of this quilt, but I am finding it one of or the most romantic quilts I’ve ever made.  I guess it’s just the colors, maybe.  The corals and oranges and bits of mint are certainly agreeing with me and the weather we are having…

Bad Girl Pattern Release

  It’s time, it’s time! Today I’m putting Bad Girl out in the world!  This one has been a total learning experience for me.  This quilt taught me how to make the half rectangle triangle, without it I’d never have known!  I looked at a handful of tutorials online and just couldn’t find anything that…

Some quilts just take time, and maybe that’s exa Some quilts just take time, and maybe that’s exactly what we need. I made Dilly Dally slowly, in the in-between moments, with quiet hands and a busy heart. Each block gave me a reason to pause. Each seam helped me breathe a little easier.There’s something comforting about making with your hands, about turning fabric and thread into something that holds you back.
The long journey is complete. 💛 Dilly Dally is The long journey is complete. 💛Dilly Dally is finished, front to back, and I couldn’t be more in love. This version uses Jellybean Meadow for both the quilt top and the wide back, and every stitch feels like sunshine and wildflowers. 🌼If you’ve been dreaming of making your own, kits are ready and waiting.

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.

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. 💛🧵
