I was asked to make a block which will later be added with into assortment of other blocks. As with these kinds of collections, the blocks will be sewn together and given as a gift to someone. I wanted to slip a little military fabric (USAF) into my block. It is a wonky log cabin. If you haven’...
read morePin It This quilt ended up being small-ish. It is about 19″ square and is finished. I’ll probably hang it on the wall in the studio for a bit. (At this rate, I might have to start hanging these small projects on the ceiling too!!!) I wanted to show you how I ended up quilting it. I had this...
read moreI started out wanting to make one of those blocks with all the points. I’m not sure if it’d be a Mariner’s Compass or New York Beauty type block. Mostly, I knew I wanted the block to be radial with points. Thanks to Adobe Illustrator, I was able to make my own paper template and generate a...
read moreI’m using up the stash to make another 1600 quilt! It is a jelly roll race style quilt with strips sewn end to end. I’ll give you a link. Fabric in the studio is arranged by color. (Take the studio tour, here.) I have 18 cubbies all sorted by ROY G BIV + solids. On the other hand, I only...

read moreHere’s a quick peek at a couple new fabric lines from Exclusively Quilters. I was contacted by a sales rep from Exclusively Quilters to make digital mock-ups of my patterns in their fabric. I thought that would be an excellent way to cross-promote both patterns and fabric. We had actually met at a trade...
read moreI love going to the thrift store. Recently I picked up a little black purse for about $2.00. I really liked the shape and really liked how it was constructed. I decided it would be something I’d have to try to remake. I carried the bag around for a day only to find out that it was WAY too small for my...
read moreIn August, I got a small mid-arm quilt frame. It is actually my mom’s “old frame” and quite frankly, one of the best new-to-me presents of all time. I don’t think I’ve blogged about it yet though. I got quite busy with preparing for Quilt Market right around Aug/Sept, and...
read moreJust a quick little blog post to show you the giant finished bag. …and all its many many pockets. And the new bag’s owner picked a red plaid for the lining and contrast fabrics. It looks great with the college print. And of course, I should probably tell you- the pattern for this bag is...
read moreHave you seen the 1600 quilts? Not 1600 Quilts, exactly, but rather the 1600 inch strip used to make a lap quilt? I think it is also called a spaghetti quilt. Here, let me get this video link for ya before we go any farther…. {Let’s see if WP likes that youtube code.} First you need to pick out...
read moreA new bag is on the horizon. This one is a special request for a lady due in March. She bought the fabrics while on vacation, down south, over the winter break. I doubt you can pick up Ole Miss fabrics up here in Kansas. The bag is coming along nicely. Her finished bag will be in the Military Monster...
