Last call to sign up for the Humble Quilt little swap 2026!

Look HERE for all the details.

I'll be sending names out tomorrow before heading out to the Lebanon/ Lancaster Quilt Show and historic Philadelphia Wednesday morning! So excited!

Made it out to our first packbacking trip! Whoop! Whoop!

We took our time because Elsa wanted to come. No backpack for her.

The Columbia River in Washington state.

Had the perfect weather in between cold days and rain.

I love this fabric by Paula Barnes! It is going on my little swap quilt as a border. I'll ...

Sew Delightful from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends! Today I have a new/old pattern I want to share with you!

It's the red pattern from my book, Quilt the Rainbow. That book is out of print now

so I am trying to release all of the patterns from it as stand-alone patterns.

(It was such a bummer that Martingale Publishing went out of business

right after they published Quilt the Rainbow due to ramifications from the Covid-19 Pandemic.)

I didn't get a chance to talk about the patterns in the book very much because

I didn't have anywhere to send people to ...

Flora's Baskets (Scrappy Version) - Finished Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

In March of 2023, I shared details about a new quilt I was starting - a scrappy version of my

Flora's Basket quilt. Click HERE to check out that post where I share the inspiration behind the pattern + the cutting instructions for making your own Flora's Basket blocks. You really should check it out, not only for the cutting instructions but the antique quilt that inspired my pattern - is gorgeous!

Wow. Has it really been 3 years since I started this quilt? Some quilts just take time, I guess.

Well today I want to share the details of the ...

Vintage Valentine in Confetti Cotton Solids from A Little Bit Biased

I really meant to post about my original Vintage Valentine quilt before Valentine's Day! Such a bummer that I totally spaced that!!! Is anyone still working on heart quilts? I'm about to start a winter/Christmas quilt...so maybe!?!

I designed this new pattern for a few reasons...

1.) I wanted a timeless (somewhat easy) heart pattern for myself and others. I've designed a few heart quilts over the years and seem to always be chasing the "perfect" heart quilt pattern. Mine are all so different, though, so I guess it just depends on what speaks to ...

A Chilling Year from Sew Preeti Quilts

"You are exactly the kind of loud-mouthed, wise-ass, brown woman who will be made an example of."

Paul's fear for my safety was obvious. Partly at his urging and partly out of caution, my blog focused on "just quilting" in 2025. As articulate and courageous I may have appeared to you, I was chilled into silence.

I kept my head down. A new job meant I had plenty to occupy my time. A long commute gives me time to meditate.

Not my most productive, but here are a few of my favorite projects of 2025.

Finishing at 51" by 68" she glides in royal splendor. And although you may think that she is set in her ways, she is very adaptable. I encourage you to take a look at the various ...

Fun on a Friday! from Humble Quilts

My design wall is pretty empty these days. The primitive Lone Cabin quilt is at the quilters and summertime isn't the most productive time in my sewing room.

But look at this amazing antique quilt block! I can see this being the center of a sweet medallion quilt.

This was my design wall before putting up that antique block- so stark and empty.

Alas! I'm pulling fabric for the yearly sewawlong! I'll add to these strips, red, green and a stripey brown! I'm hoping to get the top completed this weekend as we will be traveling ...

Welcome Wreath: a 2-Color Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Hi there! This past month has been a whirlwind with my nephew's wedding in Montana, kids home from college, and out-of-towners staying with us here and there. It's been fun and I've loved every minute! But now things are slowing down and I want to share a quilt I finished a little while ago.

Back in May, I had the idea to make my new pattern, Welcome Wreath in a 2-color version.

You can check out the original, colorful version HERE.

I mocked up a few samples of 2-color Welcome Wreath quits and liked them! So I ...

Road Trip.... Paducah or Bust from Humble Quilts

First stop, Nashville!

We got in last so had a good night rest before exploring.

We opted for the hop-on, hop-off bus.

So interesting to see this in Nashville!

The Parthenon in Centennial Park, Nashville, Tennessee, United States, is a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens, Greece. It was designed by architect William Crawford Smith and built in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition.

Cumberland River. (Now I want a selvage that says Cumberland!)

Cherish - Alternate Version from A Little Bit Biased

Hello, hello! 2 posts in 2 days! What's up with me?!?

Well, you may remember I posted about my new Cherish quilt pattern back in February.

Well, I made another version of that pattern that I want to share with you!

Since I know applique is not for everyone, I wanted to make a version of this pattern that doesn't have the appliqued scalloped border. When I was making the original and writing the pattern, I knew it could be cute either way. I always want to encourage you to think "outside of the box" and make each ...

Growing Pains from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I recently realized that I hadn't posted my Autumn Thyme table topper in my Etsy shop.

The topper is a combination of cotton and wool applique.

I LOVE the slow process of applique and I love combining cotton and wool together.

It's so relaxing to add more detail to each of the elements in the table topper.

I'm using my Hearthstone fabric line in this pattern along with Lanacot wool and Lanacot Textures by Marcus Fabrics.

The table runner measures 10" x 38". I loved having it on display last Autumn on my table. It ...

Newsy Monday from Humble Quilts

Good morning!

I'm not sure if/when I mentioned it but I recently helped a daughter clean out some of her mother's quilt room. I was hoping the investment would help fund my next mission trip.

I've committed to going to Uganda this June! I haven't formally been approved but am planning on it for now. Thank you all for the support you've shown me over the last several years!

So, book sales, photography (not my strong point) passport renewal, Etsy shop has been my focus the past several days.
