I am so proud to share the Snowman block I designed! I used Moda Grunge Evergreen, White Paper, Onyx, and Red for the piecing portion of the block. Mr. Snowman’s nose is a Moda Grunge Orange scrap. When we first started planning this QAL, I jumped at the chance to make a Snowman block! Snowmen are my favorite thing about winter and the holidays, especially...

Here’s how you make the 16″ finished block with the colors referencing the block above: Cutting instructions: Dark Blue: Cut 1 -...
I finished the Mario Quilt this week! I used fusible grid to make this process really quick and painless: Fusible grid is a thin piece of interfacing that has iron-on adhesive on one side and grid lines printed on the other. There are different brands of fusible grid, and it comes in different grid sizes. For this quilt, I used a 2″ fusible grid from...

Hope everyone is having a great Valentine’s day! The Husband and I went to the west coast this past weekend to do our annual V-day celebrations. Brewery trips for him and (new this year) fabric shops for me! I found some old circa 2012 Bonnie and Camille, Kate Spain, and Alison Glass in different stores. Pretty amazing I saw those bolts still in stores. It...
