Cool thing I saw on the internet alert! Have you ever been working on an equilateral triangle quilt and started dealing with seam allowances (which get weird on triangles) and ended up doing trigonometry to figure out what the finished size of your quilt would be? Yvonne @ Quilting Jetgirl […]

I’m super excited to share my latest finish with y’all! It’s one of those introspective quilts, you’ve been forewarned. This quilt started out as an attempt to cut into my Cirrus Solids fat quarter bundle, but ended up morphing into something fairly personal. Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about […]
Okay, better late than never, right? 😀 I really enjoy seeing all the beautiful quilts twice a year for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival hosted by Amy @ Amy’s Creative Side. Since I recently posted about this quilt, I’m not going to reiterate too much, but I’m entering my mini-mini in the […]
Hi all! Today I’m excited to be sharing some details about my quilt design process as part of the DIY Block Design Challenge and Blog Hop by Alyce @ Blossom Heart Quilts. Alyce recently released an e-book called DIY Block Design (follow the link for information and purchasing details). The book focuses on […]
I mentioned in my last post that I had finished two quilts and that last week had been tough. One of the things that happened is that my good friend Karen @ CapitolaQuilter lost her sweet dog, Dottie. Karen kindly made her home available to me many times over the years […]

So a couple weeks ago I mentioned that I won a bundle of Cirrus Solids by Cloud 9 and that I was having trouble cutting into it. I asked for some advice and got some much needed tough love to get me motivated to use the fabric! So I sat […]
Today is a really exciting day because I can finally share the Phoenix quilt with you!! I’ve been practically tap dancing with impatience since finishing this a few weeks ago. This quilt is based on a Quilt Design A Day (QDAD) pattern I made last year, and was submitted to […]
Last week, Pantone announced the Spring 2016 Color Forecast! I am always super excited about this because I am a huge color nerd. But also! for the last 7 or 8 years, the Color of the Year has been chosen from the Spring color collection. Which means it’s time to […]
Cloud 9 Fabrics has a new set of yarn-dyed colors that they’ve released called Cirrus Solids. I’m kind of a huge sucker for cross weaves and shot cottons so when they announced they were doing a block of the month challenge (which you can still enter, by the way!), I added it […]
