This is a long time coming...one of those things that I meant to do back in like, July. And there were too many other things to do. Back in June (or May?) I received a very exciting thing in the mail--a copy of Love Patchwork & Quilting! It was super exciting because I was featured in it with a puff quilt pattern. It was like a 5-page spread with beautiful pictures of my most favorite quilt I've ever made. I made this quilt … [Read more...]
Twin Size+ Puff Quilt Pattern is Here!
July 5, 2013 By 14 Comments
Another long awaited pattern is here! I have been asked time and time again if I make puff quilts larger than baby size. My answer was and will always be 'nope, sorry!' I really don't enjoy making large puff quilts because it is a lot of work. So there is your fair warning. But once it's done, I have to say, it's worth it! My friend Sarah helped me make this quilt for this pattern and I probably couldn't have finished it without her, … [Read more...]
New Puff Quilt Pattern: ‘Puffy Island’
January 15, 2013 By 184 Comments
Presenting my newest puff quilt pattern! I call it Puffy Island because all the little puffs with the flat white sashing in between remind me of little desert islands in the ocean. This puff quilt is a mixture of puffs and traditional flat quilting--the best of both worlds! I chose a rainbow ombre scheme for this quilt because lets face it...it's super cute. I've always loved the rainbow array of colors and I've got a few projects coming up … [Read more...]
A Twin Size Chevron Puff Quilt!
July 3, 2012 By 35 Comments
So I have a pretty firm and fast rule of not making puff quilts larger than toddler bed size. But when fabric designer Ann Kelle contacted me and asked me to help her out in her quest of decorating a shared nursery--she wanted a twin size puff quilt--I broke my rule! I used the Rag Puff Quilt Tutorial for the quilt, using her own fabric, a fun yellow polka dot with white Kona. And a blue and green flannel print on the back. I made the … [Read more...]

Make The Perfect Machine Binding
October 26, 2011 By 29 Comments
Before I go bragging about this method I came up with after many, many miserable puff quilt binding experiences, I know I just have to say this: If you are a 'real' quilter, an 'authentic' quilter, you will probably scoff at me. It seems like all quilters insist on hand stitching the binding to the back. They will usually machine-stitch it on the front but then hand stitch it to the back. When I first started getting into quilting, the whole … [Read more...]
