Modern Stitching Affair, affectionately known as MSA, was this past weekend (also my birthday weekend). I spent it with my sister and a bunch of friends in a hotel in Madison! After MSA, I always question why I don’t live in Madison to be able to be with all these fun people more often. Natalie Santini of Hungry Hippie Sews and Violet Craft were the...
My sewing studio is at least 90% there! I started some secret sewing this week that I can’t share yet, but I wanted to share my new space! When we moved to Kansas City, I knew that I would want lots of space for my work area and to have lots of wall space to have design walls hung up. I ended up getting the...
I am so excited to share my newest pattern with you today! Introducing Around The Square! Around the Square is Fat Quarter friendly. The sample quilt is Bring on the Bubbly from Designs by Sarah J. It used a fat quarter bundle of the entire collection and I just love the bright colors!
So last week, I talked about only using your Camera to mock up a quilt (read about that here). I have a confession to make… I really love PhotoGrid. To be clear I am not affiliated with PhotoGrid whatsoever, I just really heart any sort of collage maker app. Look at this really cool quilt!
Have you seen all the Jelly Roll Rugs pop up on Instagram lately? I kept seeing them in my feed and I apparently missed the sew along. I decided to make one anyway! How cool does that look?! I LOVE it. So here’s all the details and tips if you want to make one yourself. The pattern is from RomaQuilts, and you can pick it...
Introducing my “Decorate A Snowman” block pattern! YAY! This is the pattern I designed for the I Wish You A Merry QAL that has been updated and had sizes added! 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...

Today is a huge milestone for me since it’s my 100th blog post! That’s so exciting! I have been blogging for about a year and a half, and it started out really slowly before I hit my stride. For everyone that’s been reading since then (Hi, family!), thanks so much for joining me on this journey thus far! This week at home has been pretty...
I’m so proud to present my finished quilt top! I added basic sashing and a border to my quilt blocks! Since I designed block 5, I decided to put the block front and center. Whenever there is sashing, having cornerstones will make sure the quilt gets aligned properly. My quilt finishes at 50″x64″.
Last Block! Can you believe that we are all finished?! It seems like we just started this journey and now the 12th and final block is released. Laura Piland from Slice of Pi Quilts designed this Christmas Lights Block. You can get the pattern for this block on her blog post. Be sure to check out my final quilt top blog post too! This block...
