What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing a Sampler Spree Quilt Blocks Update. I know lots of quilters sewed along at the quick pace of ten blocks a week and have finished their quilts. But I’ve been taking my time on this one and really enjoying the slower pace. I had to put everything aside for some […]

My favorite holiday is approaching! I’m excited to use these brand new Halloween paper pieced block patterns in some projects. Which is your favorite?

Wouldn’t an entire Halloween Quilt be great? Here are more Halloween paper pieced blocks that could be added…

This spooky quilt was put together by my customer Donna. She did an awesome job using my collection of Halloween blocks. All of these block patterns, as well as all of the gnome blocks can be found at ETSY.

Gardening is such a popular pastime. I am almost as passionate about gardening as I am for paper piecing.

My sweet customer Trish, requested some gardening gnomes.

Trish particularly wanted a girl gnome with braids.

This gnome helps me water the flowers.

I use my blocks for all sorts of projects…

I designed this vest for a sewing competition. Kind of quirky and whimsical! Next I am using the garden gnomes on some pillows for a gift.

The 3 day sewing competition is called TOP STITCH and was held in Ripon, Wisconsin ...

Today's Quilt Camp session saw great great progress in the quilt block count! One of Lynnleigh's most frequently asked questions today was: "how many blocks do I have done now and how many more do I need?" She sewed up a storm and loved arranging her warm, freshly-pressed blocks on the design wall. I'm very proud of her can-do attitude! For the second day, we followed the same format as the day
