Happy February and thank goodness it’s Friday! I watched an interesting TED Talk lately by Eduardo Briceño – How to get better at things you care about. It’s an 11-minute video that I had to watch for work but seemed really relevant even for my home life and quilting life. The video talks about the learning zone and the performance zone.

Ink & Indigo holds a very special place in my heart and was released earlier this week in the Love, Patchwork & Quilting Issue 70! The copies will be on sale in the US in a few weeks, but you can purchase a digital copy now! So why is this quilt so special?
Happy Friday! I think I saw this on Mister Domestic’s Instagram page a few weeks… or months ago (it was a while!) and it was an immediate “I need to get this” moment. It was a Hot Stuff Oven Mitt kit by Around the Bobbin! You can buy this kit from your local quilt shop or online directly from her shop! She sells the kits...

This month’s Island Batik Challenge is to create a quilt that is Whimsical and Wonky. I decided to split my post into two parts due to the holidays, and I haven’t quite finished the quilt yet. The fabrics featured in this post were given to me by Island Batik. In celebration of the end of the 2018 Monthly Color Challenge tomorrow (the setting instructions are...
Binding babies… I own 3 of them and I thought that was going to be enough! Until I had one baby holding leftover binding from a previous project and used my other 2 babies to hold bindings for current quilts I got back from my longarm.
