Spiral Galaxies appears in the June issue of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine, hitting the stands on April 18! It measures 72-1/2″ x 81-1/2″ with 10″ star blocks and 9″ nine-patches with half-square triangles. It features bakits from my extensive collection. No single fabric was purchased for the quilt, including the (pieced) back, which I will show you soon.

Mystic

I designed Mystic, a 48″ x 68″ throw for the Jardin de Lune Glow, a glow-in-the-dark collection by Blank Quilting. The luminescent mushrooms, flowers, hummingbirds, moths, and butterflies transported me on a night journey through a magical garden, inspiring me as I translated the beautiful fabrics into a design that added ‘beams of moonlight’ (the light borders) while showcasing each print.

After months of keeping this pattern close to my heart, I’m thrilled to finally share Drift—my newest quilt pattern. That’s right! It’s the Drift quilt pattern release day—scratch that, week. I have lots of fun things planned. The main thing? I am intertwining it with QuiltCon!

The Drift Quilt Pattern

For years, I have been intimidated by curves. I have made blocks that use them here and there, but I was lost when I tried to write a pattern incorporating the technique. This was especially true for an orange peel quilt I attempted to design ...

Hello Friends, I hope you have had a good start to a new (probably a very cold for many of you) week! The snow/ice has hung around my area because of the frigid temperatures.

I want to quickly pop in and let you know that my quilting friend Pat Sloan is starting a LEAFY QAL with my Autumn Quilting Book on 1/21/25! You may pick either of the leaf designs to make for the QAL! And both leaf quilts are scrap-friendly! The fresh blue/green/yellow colorways show Pat’s Gratitude & Grace fabrics.

Walking Foot Quilting

Hello Friends! I hope you have been well! It’s been a busy 2025 so far, but all’s good! We did get the snow right after New Year, it’s been rather cold! So I got our schedule worked out for In My Heart QAL. If you have sewed along before with me, you know my QALs are super low-key! Just grab your fabrics and sew along at your own pace, even though I do give you a schedule to follow if you choose to!
