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…
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…
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.…
Finally finished up some more quilts and actually got photos of them! This one is using squares from the Summer Sampler 2011 which I used to teach a class at work back before the pandemic. There are 12 blocks in the Summer Sampler, but I often did more than one to demonstrate for students and…
It’s been a bit since I posted but that’s because time is weird in a pandemic. Here’s another Grace Circle charity quilt finish. For this one, I asked the circle members to make me a strawberry block using this tutorial. They came out so super cute! I put them in a brick pattern. The quilting…
This quilt was finished just under 2 years, but it’s at my parents’ place so I only got photos after the fact. I took the quilt with me on the plane so I could do the binding during the flight. It’s seriously one of my favorite ways to pass the time on a plane. So…
While I get photos of some other stuff together, here’s a photo of another quilt I finished. This one was for my cousin’s little girl. I used fat quarters from the Wonderful Things line in the color way Honest Whispers. For the pattern I used the Fat Quarter Shop’s Fat Quarter Fizz Quilt Patternbecause I…
Here’s another baby quilt that I finished up for my cousin’s new little girl. Well, now she’s a year old, but she did get it well before then (unlike some of the other babies I still have quilts to make for . . .) I used a layer cake of Riley Blake’s Love Story. And…
Here is another quilt for Grace Circle. For this one I asked for an improv stripe blocks using green and yellow. One of the stitchers ended up giving me much smaller blocks so that’s what I cut up and used for the border. I think it ads a nice modern look to it. This was…
It’s been a hot minute since I last posted. Did I say minute? I meant months, or maybe even a year 😛 After some existential crisis with my blog I’ve decided . . . it’s fine just the way it is. So, what have I been up to? A lot. But we’ll get to that.…
