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…

Here is something you can make in a couple minutes that will help you when pushing your quilt through–DIY quilting gloves! They are…
Free Quilting E-Guide
What size is a twin-size quilt? What is a fat eighth? What is a layer cake? What does WOF stand for? If these are questions you’ve had to ask or google, don’t be embarrassed because I have had to as well. Quilting is full of jargon that can be confusing if you’re new to quilting…
Edges and Binding Quilts
My third class I’m taking on Craftsy is called Finishing School: Edges and Binding. I could have used a class like this four years ago when I first started quilting. My first quilts had the most abominable binding and after that I found out about mitered corners. Then I searched the internet for anything I…
Quilting 101: Craftsy Mini Classes
I love quilting. But I must confess, I am not the most accurate quilter. More than once I’ve ended up with misaligned piecing which drives me crazy. So I have decided that I want to take some quilting classes. However, since I have three young kids, I don’t have time to go to quilting stores…

I have been working on a quilt for several weeks now, here and there, when I had time/desire/energy. But this quilt involved lots of flying geese blocks and I wanted to find a good way to make a lot at a time. I found a great method, and I’m going to share it here. You’ll…

Are you ready for a super fun contest? As you may know, I now have five different “puff” quilting patterns for sale and I’ve also been working with Shannon Fabrics this year. They so generously donated the fabric that I used for this new Twin+ Puff Quilt Pattern! Since Shannon Fabrics has come out with…
Twin Size+ Puff Quilt Pattern is Here!
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…

Puff Pillow Pattern & Giveaway!
It’s finally here! I have been planning on doing my puff pillow pattern for seriously ever and I know lots of you have been wondering when I would finally get around to doing it. Patterns take a lot of work to put together so I just kept putting it off until I had a little…
