Can you believe it’s already been a year? For those of you who have been reading since the beginning, I very much so appreciate you, and thank you for reading! (I also appreciate those of you who may have found me during the last year as well!) You may have noticed about 2 weeks ago, there were a few days that my blog wasn’t online...
I finally finished this quilt top! I have a very strong love/hate relationship with this quilt top for many reasons. Before I started, I had already heard this quilt pattern wasn’t the easiest to follow and that it was wasn’t the easiest of quilts to make. This blog post is dedicated to my assessment of the quilt, the quilt pattern, and any tips and tricks...
This past weekend was the Minnesota Quilters Show in Duluth, MN. I didn’t attend any of the lectures or classes this time, but I was able to take Friday off work to drive up and explore the show. It was definitely worth the drive (~2.5hrs each way) to see some of these spectacular quilts. This is my favorite of all the quilts at the show. ...
I leave for QuiltCon tomorrow, and I am so excited to go! I feel a little bad I signed up for so many classes…I was one of the lucky ones that was able to get into all their classes before the registration site crashed last summer. But I am so ready to LEARN all the things! One of the classes I’m taking is called “You...
In the last week, I’ve had like 4 nights in a row of dreaming about the Chic Country quilt. The dream ends up being about the same every time; I debate for what seems like forever about fabric choices and always end up with a black and white quilt with a pink pop of color. The Pink is the Kona Color of the Year...
Today’s the day! Pattern #102 (called Broken Lattice) is now released as a FREE PDF Pattern on Craftsy! (Free for a limited time!) I’m really excited about this pattern because it showcases the fabric and colors really well. This quilt is a beginner and precut friendly pattern with either 2 Jelly Rolls or 1 Honey bun for the 2 sizes. The full size quilt finishes...
Saying no and my reasoning behind it is something I’ve wanted to talk about for a while…people I know all think everyone is getting a quilt for a present. There are many articles that have been written on how to say no as a crafter since we all feel that nagging guilt when someone you know and love asks you to make them something whether...
Back to reality of the daily grind. I forgot just how exhausting working can be and how hard it is to get motivated to quilt after work. So my to do list? Way too aggressive! But one of my personal new year’s resolutions is to be kind to myself. So it’s okay, the stuff will get done after I get back in a rhythm. ...
First post of the new year! I’m going to take a look back to this past year’s of quilting!
