I am participating in a blog hop in a few weeks with some very awesome ladies in the Stitching Stars Blog Hop next month. The grand prize giveaway is going to be a quilt made from blocks from the participants. Such a great giveaway prize, I can’t wait to have everyone see the finished product. Here is a sneak peak of the blocks I made...
I do not usually starch my fabrics. I just never really started and didn’t work with a lot of bias pieces…therefore I didn’t really ever find the need to. However this week while I was testing out my new pattern, I was getting frustrated with myself that I didn’t get my fabric starched. Therefore this week’s tip: Starch! First, I should explain what starch does...
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!

Happy November everyone! I hope everyone had a fun Halloween. We are the odd couple out in the neighborhood (we don’t have kids). Thankfully, my husband bought candy for the Trick-or-Treaters because we had people before dark and before our porch light got turned on! I thought the porch light was the universal signal, I guess not! Anyway I got my Quilter’s Planner yesterday and...
