Get My Book – The Ultimate Guide to Machine Quilting

In the second book I ever wrote – The Ultimate Guide to Machine Quilting – I first explored this idea of combining straight lines and decorative stitches. The book itself includes 10 patterns and 20 quilts (each pattern is made 2 different ways). It was fun ...

 This morning was for Brazilian Embroidery. At least I was looking forward to it. 

First things first, needed to go to the bank. I decided to go through the drive-thru because in the PAST, it was quick and easy. They have since changed the bank to a credit union. That's okay, but not when I go through the drive thru and I have to sit and wait while they hand over the deposit to get given to the gal in the lobby. Then, wait for it to come back. Which means, wait, wait, WAIT, okay, here you go. UGH ...

Good evening, my friends. We had an easy-going day today. We visited the Quilter's Cottage in Fallbrook, California. I was on the hunt for a backing fabric for the Shop Hop 4.0 quilt...this one:

I didn't find any fabric I liked. That's okay...I'll find something somewhere else. There will be more quilt shops down the road. From there, we walked in a nearby "preserve." We walked most of the trails in the Los Jilgueros Preserve. You can read about it at that link. While there, I took around 35 pictures. Sadly, when I ...

 Welcome back for block 9, Shooting Star.

attributed to Old Chelsea Station (a mail order company 

started in 1933, Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia).

I renamed it Shooting Star.

As much as I like pinwheels, 

the new name felt more in line

with the theme of this quilt along.

There were so many stars along the way

who contributed to the birth of our nation 

and the continual upkeep of our values.

I know somedays it feels like a struggle to 

still believe, but we must, just as they did ...

I have a few pictures in my camera roll that warrant sharing, but aren’t enough for a full blog post. I thought I would throw them together and share them with you. Arnie “lost” his coffee cup. He couldn’t find it anywhere. He ended up having to leave without it. The next day, I opened …

Yesterday I got to give away one of my favorite quilts. I had put it together a few years ago and then put the top in the pile to be completed at a later date. When I shared my binding bowl in the last post, I realized that I should finish one of them. So I did!

I just realized I don’t have a picture of the finished whole quilt. Not the first time that’s happened, probably won’t be the last. (Eye roll)

When I started the actual quilting, I found myself heading directly ...

Good morning, my friends. We had such a fun day yesterday. As usual, I took way too many pictures and so I have a lot to tell you. We haven't got a minute to lose, so fill up that cup with whatever your drinking, and let's get started.

Along our way, we stopped at our favorite farm stand and scored some Hass avocados. On the right are limes. They're yellow because they've been allowed to ripen on the tree.

I’m so excited to be teaching at AQS Paducah 2026. I will be teaching:

• 6 hour class Introduction to OBW’s. You will learn to cut your repeats, align your repeats, choose a hexie size, cut all your equilateral triangles and begin sewing your triangles in hexes halves. I will show you how to design around a panel, how to integrate stars/cubes of different sizes.

• Capped Cube 60 Wall Hanging.

• Star 60 Log Cabin
• OBW Trunk Show

If a workshop is sold out, keeping checking back. Sometimes people cancel.

Back when I lived in St. Louis and was a member of the St. Louis Modern Quilt Guild, I was part of a bee, and one of the members had us make X and Plus blocks one month. It's a fun block to make, and a popular one. 

I've long thought about making an X and Plus quilt. But most of the images I've seen are a chaotic splash of colors. Even those that are symmetrical and laid out with care are usually blindingly bright or have nowhere to rest the eye. Then I saw this monochromatic ...

My newest As the Bobbin Turns Subscriber-Only Video shows how I quilted my great nephew's I Spy quilt with a thread that matched so well it was hard to quilt!

Ever start the year with a giant list of quilts you’re totally going to finish… only to blink and it’s October and you’re wondering where the time (and half your projects) went?

Yep. Same here.

That’s why around here we’ve ditched the idea of having one big overwhelming list and instead, we’ve built a better way to actually follow through—step-by-step—with the Patchwork Planner and our 90 Sews program inside Patchworkers Plus.

You don’t need to be more productive. You just need a plan that works the way you work—and maybe ...

I make a lot of cookies so I want to know where these have been all my life. This is one of the things our girl made and brought at Christmas. They are SO good, and very lemon-y, but she wasn't happy with the result as they spread a lot and the video showed them looking like little balls. So she mixed up another batch on one side of the kitchenWhile I made chicken quesadillas on the

De afgelopen tijd heb ik veel geborduurd, altijd een ontspannen werkje.

De advent SAL van  Simone is ook af, nu nog wachten op het frame om in te lijsten.

Ben ook begonnen met een Irish quaker sampler, maar sat is een groot werk, dus af en toe ...

One of the best ways I’ve learned to start a new year is not by starting something new, but by finishing what’s already been started.

As I eased into 2026, I decided to look through my basket of nearly-there projects. You know the ones like sampler pieces, practice blocks, things that were made with intention but never quite crossed the finish line. This time, I made a simple decision: they deserved to be finished.

I grabbed a handful of leftover bindings from my scrap basket ...

My plans for today.A little patchwork....octagons.More work on my current design project.
