January 16, 2013

New Puff Quilt Pattern: ‘Puffy Island’

January 15, 2013

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…

2012 has been a very, VERY weird year.  Some things were great and some things you couldn’t pay me a trillion dollars to go through again.  I’m actually glad to see it go because I feel like it was mostly a very difficult year.  I have realistic expectations for 2013–I will accomplish some goals, I…

Cathedral Window Quilted Artwork

August 14, 2012

So awhile ago I was surfing the web and I came across this beautiful type of quilting called Cathedral Windows.  And it suddenly took hold of my mind and every other project HAD to be pushed aside so I could make something with the Cathedral Window tutorial.  Isn’t it just beautiful??

Make a Quilted Camera Strap Cover!

April 19, 2012

I know–there are a billion camera strap tutorials out there. But I was getting ready for SNAP! conference today and I realized, “Hey–I’m gonna look super lame without a handmade camera strap on my camera!” So I quickly referenced a few different tutorials to get a basic idea and came up with this quilted one….

Quilting Shortcut: the Eight Square Method

March 6, 2012

There are so many quilts you can make with triangles, or rather triangle squares.  I showed you a tutorial on how to make these with my pinwheel quilt, but here is a faster way.  I call it the Eight Square Method. (Ps I’m sure I did not invent this but I don’t know what it’s…

February 13, 2012

I had this idea for a quilt a LONG time ago.  And one day last week, in a rare quiet moment of nursing, the idea popped back into my head and I had to shove ALL other projects aside and do it.  It was a little hairy at first, but after a lot of thinking…

Five Lovely Baby Quilts

February 10, 2012

I worked on a new quilt pattern this week and I was pushing that sucker ferociously through my sewing machine in my attempts to geterdun.  But my baby likes to nap these days for approximately 20 minutes at a time and fuss for the whole time she’s awake, so I didn’t get it done.  I…

Make The Perfect Machine Binding

October 26, 2011

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…
