Well, I may not be at Quilt Market, but I am happy to have something hanging there! I recently finished a quilt pattern for RJR Fabrics called “Fair Day”, made with the line “Pie Making Day” by Brenda Ratliffe of Pink Castle Fabrics. The sashing is all 1 1/2″ finished HSTs, and the pattern will […]
My turn for the Spring Clean Your Studio Blog hop!
When Cheryl Sleboda first mentioned she was thinking about having a blog hop for studio cleanup, I knew I needed to be on it. I had started transforming my sewing space into a for-reals studio for my longarm quite a few months ago, and needed the motivation to get it finished. Other deadlines had been taking […]
And now for something completely different
I know, I know. It’s been a while since QuiltCon, and where have I been? Truth be told, I haven’t felt much like writing recently. This last week, though, I worked on a top that was way out of my comfort zone, and one which really made me crazily happy. And while it wasn’t “modern”, […]
Wordless… Wait, what day is it?
It’s been a little busy the last few weeks, with final book edits, shipping and receiving quilts and tops, and quite a few deadlines for various places. I’ve been remiss in posting and sharing eye candy on my blog (although if you’re looking for that, check out my instagram feed over on the right!) I […]
My quilting is on a cover quilt for American Quilter!
You guys. YOU GUYS. I almost passed out over my coffee this morning when I was scrolling through facebook and saw someone post the cover of this magazine, and then my copy arrived today! This quilt top is designed by Stacey Day of Stacey in Stitches. Go check out her blog! She’s got lots of […]
Work this week, word free
recent finishes for Cristy
This little cutie is a mini that Cristy Fincher of Purple Daisies made. The wreaths have this really great movement to them, and to quilt them, I knew I wanted to keep with that feeling of turning and twisting. I broke down the wreaths into triangles, and put in a simple echoed triangle in those […]
Simple doesn’t have to mean uniform
Now that this one has arrived back to its owner, I can share it! This is a pattern under construction by my customer Terri, and she wanted something simple to go with the overall simplicity of the quilt, and something that wasn’t full-on custom or too boring. At first I thought I would do a zig zag […]
Some finished quilts to share
Terri W. has sent me some lovely quilts to finish, and I can share a few now that they’re back with her! the first is an Echino improv quilt, based off a tutorial by Elizabeth Hartman (Terri added a mini border and sashing, and it turned out beautifully). She wanted something simple so as not […]
A quilt for Memorial Day
Right before Market, I quilted a sweet little thing for Scott Hansen at Blue Nickel Studios. This quilt is made from the new solids American Made Brand from Clothworks. Scott wanted something simple and linear that wouldn’t compete with the fabric or the design, an abstract American flag. We brainstormed a few ideas, and settled on the […]
