Welcome to my stop on the Quilt Block Mania Blog Hop. Each of the designers participating in the hop are sharing a block pattern inspired by this month’s theme, which is Forest!

I love walking in the woods, and for this month’s block I imagined a quiet evening in the woods at Christmas. Above, a single star lights the way. The only witness? A tiny cardinal.

No change in the numbers, a miracle considering all the opportunities I had to buy fabric this week.

I had a Guild meeting yesterday and the free table was bursting with books and magazines. There was also a buy a bin for $1 sale. This is what I brought home, although I often look at the magazines and take them back. I only pulled out a couple things for a closer look.

The quilt pattern came from the thrift shop. I took a chance because the package was taped shut, but it looks like I scored the entire pattern. It ...

Welcome to my stop on the Quilt Block Mania Blog Hop. Each of the designers participating in the hop are sharing a block pattern inspired by this month’s theme, which is Kitchen!

I love cooking—almost as much as I love quilting! And when I thought about this month’s theme, I knew I wanted to depict two indispensable kitchen tools that happen to go by the same name—spatulas.

Not sure why they share the same name. Sure is confusing. But I know I wouldn’t be able to cook without them!

Welcome to my stop on the Quilt Block Mania Blog Hop. Each of the designers participating in the hop are sharing a block pattern inspired by this month’s theme, which is the Baby!

Who doesn’t love babies? They are so soft and sweet. A few years back, my fellow Island Batik Ambassadors celebrated a newborn by making its mother a quilt. We each designed a block and made it. One Ambassador sewed them all together and another quilted and bound it.

My block was an elephant rattle. I’m not sure how I got the notion, but I ...

Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love to see the leaves changing color. The sheer number of colors I see in the leaves during the Fall simply amazes me.

I’ve been wanting to do another paper pieced bird for a while, and this spring I finally sat down to work out a paper pieced bluebird. I figured everyone likes bluebirds—they’re bright and cheerful, and they have a reputation for being “family-oriented,” with early clutches sometimes staying around to help raise babies from later in the season.

But after I finished the bluebird, I started thinking about the fact that, of course, this is mostly a bird found in the eastern United States, and those of you who live elsewhere might have a very different favorite backyard ...

Welcome to my stop on the Quilt Block Mania Blog Hop. Each of the designers participating in the hop are sharing a block pattern inspired by this month’s theme, which is the Circus!

My favorite thing I associate with a circus is elephants. Frankly I prefer to think of elephants out in the wild, so I made my elephant wild and free, and happily blowing its trunk!
