What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Something awesome happened!! I talked about it on Instagram, but haven’t shared it here on my blog. I am one of seven Michael Miller brand ambassadors. It is so exciting! A big box of fabric was delivered a few weeks ago, and I have been busy trying to decide what designs I will take from idea to written pattern. I think I have narrowed down my list to about five. Fingers crossed I will get to them all written soon.

As I was fretting about getting something new out. I decided to take a breath and make another version ...

I had the opportunity to work with another designer from Tucson. I love that I can send some support her way. She works with Island Batiks a fabric manufacture that focuses on creating Batik fabrics. Broken Glass, a fabric line from Island Batik, designed for Kathy Engle for Swan Amity Sheridan is arriving in stores this month! I joined a team of wonderful ladies to help launch this happy line of fabric. Check out each link below to see all the different ways you can use the fabrics.

I thought it would be fun to show off some of my ...

After sharing my word of the year for 2023 I’ve been doing more thinking.  I’ve been jotting down notes and things to look at.  While on a walk the other day it hit me that my Amazon subscription is coming due.  Sure enough, it renews in February.  Will I renew it? Amazon Going back over […]

I took the leap of faith and registered for a booth at the Quilts, Crafts and Sewing Festival. This is something that I have wanted to do for so long, and I am feeling all the things. Scared. Excited. Happy. Nerves. Lots of nerves, but this is part of my goals for 2023, get out more. Make more connections. Continue to build a quilting community in person and online.

I have been busy getting things for my booth (G) to be able to display all the goodies I will be bringing. I think I am in good shape so wish ...

We are a few days into 2023 and I’ve put my updated goals into place.   I tend to have a focus for the year, not a resolution or a set goal. For 2022 I focused on growing my savings and having a comfortable emergency savings account if needed.  That was achieved.  As I turned my […]

Happy New Year!! I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I went back to New Mexico to see my family and got to see my husbands family as well. We had a wonderful time. While I was there, I couldn’t help myself… I just had to see how my last pattern, the Mountain Breeze Quilt, would look in different pattern layouts by pulling many fabric swatches from different designers and manufactures. If you are like me, you get lost in all the possibilities. Come with me and enter my dream world of what if. This is the place where ...

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!! I know it is a busy time of year, but I hope you got to spend a few moments at peace… possibly sewing. Last week I picked out some fabric to make another quilt for a class I will be teaching next quarter at the Quilt Basket. You guessed it! It will be using the Mountain Breeze pattern. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I always like to try to change the colors dramatically so it looks like something different. Speaking of different, here is the Mountain Breeze ...

Christmas is coming; the goose is getting fat. Please put a penny in the old man’s hat… Yes. This is the song I am listing to as I sit down to write this post. I am in dismay thinking that Christmas is only a few weeks away. I started planning what I was going to do for Christmas months ago. Still, after being away on a quilting cruise, put on by Stitching Heaven, for a week, then Thanksgiving and trying to catch up with work, I scaled back what I would be doing to a 12 Days of Christmas ...

While I may look like I’ve got it together and never make a mistake when sewing, I promise you that is all thanks to our lovely video editor.

Enjoy some video of us screwing up for two minutes straight in our latest blooper reel. And just to make you feel better about your own sewing, this was just from the last two months!

Christmas is coming. The countdown is on! I can’t believe I am saying this, but we have less than two months to get our Christmas shopping done. I have been in denial but planning and researching for this article helped me lay out a plan of attack. This Quilty Shopping Guide has some great gift ideas for your quilty loved one. If you are not a quilter, I have a shopping tips for you, so there is something for everyone. In this post, I have included affiliate links. That means if you click on a link below and you ...

I am so excited to share another rendition of the Hope’s Path quilt made by Susan Wells. This quilt was created with Andover fabrics designed by Libs Elliott. I love the color purple; it was actually the accent color at my wedding. Workshop, the fabric line used in this quilt, came out earlier this year. It offers a full range of colors from pinks to yellows to greens to blues to grays all the way to blacks. The designs found within it are simple and truly abstract.

Color Placement

The way that Susan paired the purple and grey fabrics ...

Good morning!! I have a special treat for you today. Today is another Pattern Release party! Say hello to a very special project, Hope’s Path Quilt . I designed this pattern so that Quilts for a Cause can sell it. What is Quilts for a Cause? I invited Terry Gallegos the president of Quilts for a Cause. We will be talking about how you can serve the community with quilts. I am so excited to learn more about Quilts for a Cause with you as I am new to the organization and board. Within one or two meetings, I volunteered ...

THE GREAT JELLY ROLL BASH

We are getting close to the big holiday. A day devoted to the greatest precut ever created: the jelly roll. What is it?? Some people might think I am talking about a dessert. Yes, that type of jelly roll is delicious. I have a big sweet, tooth, so I would not pass up that type of jelly roll. However, today I am talking about a quilting precut: the beautiful and the wonderful jelly roll. It is 2 1/2″ cuts of about 40 strips of fabric selvage to selvage. All of the fabrics in a ...

It was one of those trips where I was driving to Las Cruces NM from Tucson AZ for work. That is when I first heard about a Quilting Cruise. I was listening to the Modern Sewciety Podcast, which I love. Stephanie Kendron was going to go to Alaska on one. I was left thinking about what they were and how they would fit into my life. My main thought… Being trapped on a boat with nowhere to go and nothing to do, other than quilt… That is amazing!!!

I say this with humor and simplifying it to almost nothing. Cruise ...

Welcome. Welcome. Ahhhhh! I am so excited. Today is the day!! That’s right today is the release day for my Mountain Breeze Quilt Pattern. It is finally ready. This quilt has been on a long and windy journey with me. It has been simmering in the back of my head since the first Quilt Con I attended back in 2017. It was something I saw in the city that caught my eye and it has stuck with me ever since. Like all my pattern release parties, this comes with a giveaway and a lot of fun so keep reading ...

Guess what!!! I am selling fabric. EEKKK I know I have dabbled in it here and there, but I have decided that I want to be able to offer kits of some of the patterns I design and write soooooo I am all in. If you are subscribed to my newsletter this is old news, but I haven’t shared on my blog until now. This is my first kit that I have made. It is the Bullseye Quilt. I have always loved the bullseye design. Definitely a classic that never goes out of style. The pattern is from (RSS ...
