About a year and a half ago, I began working on my newest fabric collection with Riley Blake Designs. It's called Honey Locust, and I am happy to announce that it has finally shipped to stores!

Usually, when I design a Block-of-the-Month quilt, it spawns so many ideas for spin-off quilts that I end up having to make some of them! Such is the case with the Loretta’s Farm and Garden Sampler quilts.
One of the blocks used in Loretta’s Sampler is the traditional block called “Star and Stripe”. When placed next to each other without any sashing, these blocks make a fantastic secondary design. Because of the block’s original name, I wanted to make my picnic size version in red, white, and blue. And I had the perfect bundle for it!
The ...

Ciara made this quilt from my “Take Two” pattern for her son (I think). Correction! She made it for her husband for his 40th birthday — and I just love how it came out!
If you zoom in, you can see how she fussy cut the center squares with motorcycle fabrics, so that it’s personalized just for him! I love it!
The pattern is available in my Etsy shop, in both print and PDF versions. And don’t be intimidated. It’s not as hard as it looks. I’ve ...
read moreMeet “Bonnie Rose” — the 2024 Prairie Moon Ranch Cowboy Christmas Stocking!
I name Bonnie Rose after my dear old horse, Bonnie. This year, I wanted a stocking that lets the fabric do a lot of the talking, so I chose a floral focal print for the body of the stocking.
There’s still a bit of easy appliqué and some optional embroidery, too, but this is one of the quicker stockings to make.
The back is plain, showcasing the floral focal print, but you can certainly make your stocking two-sided, if you wish. As with all the stocking patterns, there ...
read moreLast year’s mystery quilt at Sew Sweet Quilt Shop wrapped up back in August/September, but I’m only just now finding time to post about it here!
If you participated in their mystery program, then you know what the quilt looks like. But for those of you who did not, here’s the big reveal!
Jessica chose a selection of Art Gallery fabrics, combined with some low-volumes for background, and asked for a medallion-style quilt this time, so here’s what I came up with. Her fabric choices give this quilt a super soft, vintage-y/modern, blended look ...
read moreIt's called Scrappy Holidays and it's available just in time for some festive holiday sewing! I love working on Christmas quilts when it's cold (and preferably snowing outside)! It's so cozy and sort of nostalgic in a way!
Way back in 2015 (how is that already so long ago?), I designed this cute throw quilt for Dear Stella to showcase some of their fabrics. For a while, they offered it as a free pattern on their site, but as things have evolved over time, it’s no longer there.
So . . . I’ve moved it over here to my Free Patterns page. So it’s once again available as a free pattern, which you can acquire for your ownself right HERE!
But along with that, I did a little extra, and wrote a second, even scrappier, version of Love ...
read moreHello! I hope you all have your year off to a great start!
I’m gonna start out trying to catch up on a few things I got behind on last year (I hate having to do that, but it needs to be done to make myself feel better!) Can you even believe I have things to carry over? Haha!
One of those things is releasing the pattern for The Great Lakes Mystery!
Last year, the Great Lakes Modern Quilt Guild celebrated their 10th anniversary, and they asked me to design a monthly program just for them to help them ...
