This month’s Island Batik Ambassador Challenge was Try a Technique that was new to me! The fabrics featured in this post were given to me by Island Batik and are a part of the Season’s Shades collection. I decided to pick Fabric Weaving as my new technique! I purchased these Wefty Needles over a year ago but never had the courage to try weaving. Funny enough, I am...

This year’s QuiltCon was held in Pasadena, CA this past Thursday to Sunday. I traveled out there Wednesday morning and got home late last night! I was also a Super Volunteer meaning I did over 16 hours of volunteering at the event! I look forward to going to Nashville in 2019 and Austin in 2020. It was a super packed few days, so this is...
I bought my Juki serger at the Original Sewing Expo last November, and I decided that I wanted to make a custom dust cover for the machine. I made the cover without a formal pattern, and I think it turned out pretty well. Here is the following process I used to make my custom serger cover. Please note that sergers come in all different shapes...

I have always been intrigued by improv quilts, but due to my very square engineer brain I haven’t been allowing myself to experiment with improv… until now! I made a mini quilt using improv paper piecing techniques and I LOVE it! Remember my very square engineer brain, I needed a book to really walk me through some improv thought process rather than a pattern instruction. ...

The pattern is now a paid pattern and you can get it from my Craftsy Shop. The pattern includes instructions and templates for a 12″, 18″, and 24″ block. I used the 18″ block as...
This quilt along has been such a great learning experience for me, and I even used this opportunity to stretch my quilting skills. I am so proud of the finished quilt, as I straight-line and free motion quilted the entire thing! I used straight line quilting to stitch-in-the-ditch for outlining the different blocks and secure the basting before free motion quilting each of the different...
