Noah’s Ark Baby Quilt
As I mentioned, I’ve been catching up on some of the baby quilts in the family. The request for this one was Noah’s Ark in ideally non-brights. Fortunately I was able to find this adorable Noah’s Ark line from Moda Fabrics. And I was even able to find some yardage of the blue animals for…

Animalia Flannel Backed Baby Quilt
I recently took a little break from garment sewing to make a couple of baby quilts that I was very behind on for my cousins that recently had baby boys. Between fashion shows and designing and collaborations and pattern testing and making looks for various events, I have been very busy over the last year.…

SVMQG Virtual Retreat Projects – Oven Mitts, Pin Cushion, UFO Quilts
My quilt guild does 2 retreats every year — one in person and one virtual. The in-person one never seems to work out for me schedule-wise so I try to make the virtual one. Especially as our numbers grew beyond our local area physically during the pandemic, the virtual one has been a lot of…

Cool Kisses on a Warm Day Quilt
I had my first quilt in a quilt show! It was my guild’s quilt show this past May and this was the quilt which I named Cool Kisses on a Warm Day because of the cool blue “kiss” squares on the warm red background. The quilt itself was the result of a workshop on color…

Pooh Backed Baby Quilt and Tote Bag
It’s been a little silent here due to some travel and family stuff. But here’s something I did manage to get done between trips. A quilt and tote bag that I recently finished as a gift for my cousin for her new little boy. I often find quilts to be a nice palate cleanser since…

The 20 Year Quilt (actually a little more)
This quilt took forever. Okay, not forever. Twenty-one years. But that’s still a very long time for a single quilt. I started it for my bestie Serena while we were still in college. I had completed one quilt at that point. I was very ambitious in deciding to make a queen size quilt for anyone,…

Grace Circle Home Quilt
Here’s a Grace Circle quilt from the start of the pandemic. I was the quilter for this one and asked everyone for a single Welcome Home block (pattern) which I thought was appropriate. I requested bright colors with a black background and I think the colors pop quite nicely. It’s go a great clean, modern…

Mystery Quilt 4 aka Baby Boy Quilt
I did this quilt as part of the 4th Mystery Quilt Along with Hello Stitch Studio. I love their mystery quilts because the woman Nancy who runs them makes you feel like family and that you’re getting together with a bunch of friends each week despite the fact that you’re all over zoom. Plus, she…

2020 Block of the Month Modern Quilt
During 2020, my quilt guild did a block of the month in a very modern way. They had us pick out 5 fabrics and then each month we got a different type of block to make. However, at the end, there was no direction for how to put them together. That was up to us.…

2021 Silicon Valley Modern Quilt Guild Retreat
I have some garment makes that I want to post, but first I want to wrap up my makes from our quilt guild retreat. One of the items we got was a little English Paper Piecing Kit from Paper Pieces. I’d never done EPP and these little kits are a great introduction. EPP seems like…
