Grace Circle Improv Stripes Quilt, October 2018
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…

Grace Circle Quilt – Bright Hope Block, April 2018
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.…

Tula Pink Triangles Baby Quilt
A recent finish for my friend’s little girl. I had these Tula Pink fat quarters for a really long time. Probably over 3 years, but just never had the right project for them. I think I may have used one of them at some point, but never got around to using the rest of them.…

CREATE Mini-Quilt
This was a “quick” mini-quilt I made using some Northcott charm squares that my mom won at Quiltcon 2017. She wasn’t going to use them so she gave them to me. I used this to try out a bunch of techniques on my sewing machine which I’ve only had a year. Some new, some I…

Blue and Gold Courthouse Steps quilt for Grace Circle
Yeah, yeah, I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Work has been crazy and although I’ve been doing stuff, it’s been hard to find the time to take pictures, post, etc. If anyone has suggestions for ways to stream line the camera->flickr->blog pipeline, I’d be happy to know. Anyways, this was the Grace…

Town Playmat Quilt
The company that makes the print patterns for Jack’s quilt from my last post also makes these coordinating panels. I couldn’t resist. They fit together so I bought one of each and put them together into a large (88” x 45”) playmate for the little guy. Not too much to say about this one. I…

Cars and Trucks and Trains and Roads Quilt
This was a quilt I made for my cousin’s little boy Jack. I wasn’t sure what he’d like so I decided to go with trains and cars and road motif. The print patterns were all coordinating, and then I picked out solids and added in the checks for some interest. I was really particular about…

A baby quilt for Patrick
My cousin is having a little boy in the very near future (like any minute now — she may have even had him by the time this is posted). So I wanted to welcome him to the world with a little gift. I used this starry night print to do a whole cloth quilt for…

Grace Circle April 2017 Quilt
Gah, I’ve been so busy doing things that I haven’t had much time to post. There have been plenty of quilts, plenty of bags and plenty of costumes (one of the items was 6! muslins for a dress). But I’ve finally got pictures of them! So here we go . . . First up is…

A quilt top for mom
A while ago (and by a while I mean like 10 years ago), my mom made a quilt top. This quilt top languished in her fabric vault until about a year or two ago when I started doing longarm quilting. When I was home last time, I told her she just needed to get it…
