Iron & Cream | Heather & Red | Navy & Steel | Black & Maize (Some of these are out of stock and getting harder to find.) I have not sewn with too many mediums of fabric outside quilting cotton, but I did some impulse shopping one day at FabricBubb. I was immediately drawn to… Read More
Quilting has become a hobby I’ve grown to love over the last ten years. Starting simple is always good, and you can’t be a perfectionist with your first few projects. Everything may turn out a bit wonky at first, but I assure you that you will continue to improve as you continue sewing.
Christmas presents did not fail this year. My mother-in-law, as always, chose a really great gift for me. My older cutting mat was losing its ability to self heal, and I was learning its small size was becoming a bit of an inconvenience. I did a bit of looking around and found this one on… Read More

Happy Monday, friends! I detoured from my Heading South quilt this weekend and finished up a couple Dresden plates I had been working on. I ran across this minty Dresden plate quilt on Pinterest a while back. It was a little inspiration that pushed me to try something new. I did a bit of research… Read More
Hi friends, The weather has turned, the leaves are beautiful, the children have been sleeping in late, I’m reading a great book called When Children Love to Learn, I have found time to continue quilting, and we have a healthy baby growing inside me. We have also been super busy lately, the kids have been… Read More
I started quilting around 2008 when a friend sent me a link to Allison’s blog. My friend sent me a link to an old door turned head board DIY post Allison had put up. Almost immediately, though, I was sucked into the pictures of quilts I saw on her blog. Her blog was my first… Read More
