On October 1, a friend and I started The Lord’s Prayer by Lila’s Studio. A friend and I already had it scheduled to begin on October 1, then I believe several others started it October 1 so there should be a few of these in progress. Usually, I start with the border and go from...
read moreAfter eight long months, I finished the Tiny Modernist three month holiday Stitch Along (SAL). The finished piece fills a 12 x 16 frame.
I love it, but man that was a lot of stitching. I have to admire all those people who do full coverage pieces from afar. I am not cut out for the commitment required for those projects.
The pattern is available complete now, should you be interested.
I bought a frame at Goodwill this weekend, and hope to have it on the wall soon.
I don’t care if it’s summer. Once framed it will ...

I finished the challenge quilt top, but decided not to post it until the reveal at art quilt group (Art2Quilt). I want the finished project to be a surprise.
Maybe I can post just a little sneak peak.
I’m also working on the Tiny Modernist SAL. I can see the end on the horizon. I’ve been stitching on that 3 month SAL now for over 7 months. I’m ready to finish it and move on to something smaller. Much smaller.
Fabric In: 18.5 yards
Fabric out: 3.55 yards ...

This has been the fastest year ever! Hard to believe it’s December, time to wrap up the old and think about plans for next year.
I had one finish in November, the fused challenge piece. Not much else has changed on the list.
Project One: The Tiny Modernist Holiday 2022 SAL. I keep plugging away. Most of what you see is part of the second release. I haven’t done any of the backstitch yet.
Project Two: The pinwheel charity quilt, to the point of sewing rows together. I decided to quilt it in two sections. We’ll see ...
read moreI haven’t been in my sewing room at all this past week and a half. When that happens, it’s all about the stitching.
I have a month into the three month stitch-along (SAL), and I’m nowhere near 1/3 done.
The full picture is a snow globe sitting on a stack of presents surrounded by Christmas ornaments. I have the base of the snow globe stitched and one and a half presents.
This chart is huge. I figure it will take me closer to a year. I don’t know how people keep up. They must stitch ...
read moreI'm sure you've had that same feeling that I experienced recently; it's that victorious sense of accomplishing something great when you stumble upon that one, perfect, solution to a problem. I'd finished piecing the center of this quilt completely from my stash. I kept thinking, the whole time, "I'll find something to border this with when I need it." But, truth be told, I wasn't fully convinced

read moreSew alongs and stitch alongs are always great fun! I enjoy seeing people make a pattern their own or even if they follow the pattern exactly, it's nice knowing you're creating something with others and it helps keep you on track for a finish.
After several years of being a quilt and quilt block designer, I have developed a passion to create mix and matchable figures especially females. This love and desire stems from a childhood hobby of drawing barbie dolls with different outfits. Did you also design clothing for your dolls?
After taking a very long break from quilting, designing, and sewing, I sat down one day and just "doodled" - designing on the computer. I wanted to see if I could create a new figure with a historial flair. After several hours of diligent changes, Quilter Grace was created ...
