Blogger’s Quilt Festival – Scrappy Quilt Entry
I’m super excited to be participating in my 2nd Blogger’s Quilt Festival. This year I’ve decided to enter my Christmas Crazy Quilt in the scrappy quilt category. I absolutely love this quilt.

Read MoreEaster Quilt Fabric and Embellishment Selections
It’s not even Halloween yet, and I’m already thinking about Easter. That probably seems odd to most people, but as a quilter, I’ve learned to think ahead about holidays.

Read MoreUsing Up Christmas Scraps
Once I finished up my Christmas Crazy Quilt last week, I realized that I had a ridiculous amount of scraps left over from that quilt, so I’m using up my scraps in the best way I know how – more crazy quilt goodness. To start, I was inspired by Margreet de Reus’s Christmas Mobile Ornaments…

The Mod Crazy Quilt is finally done! It’s been on hold for a few months while I was trying to decide what to do for the backing. My original plan was a minky in robin’s egg blue. It was lovely, but I had horrible trouble trying to work with the minky on my home machine. …
Read MoreThat Quilt is Worth What?!
Recently there have been several great posts around the blogosphere about the worth of quilts, most notably the No Value Does Not Equal Free post by Molli Sparkles and his follow up post Placing a Value on Your Quilts which appeared on SewMamaSew. Now we all know that handmade quilts have sentimental value. To me,…
Read MoreRomance as a Quilt
Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been piecing yet another crazy quilt. That in itself isn’t surprising. What’s surprising is that it’s a Valentine’s Day quilt. That means lots of pink. Pink isn’t normally my color, but I ran across a great vintage-inspired Valentine’s Day print fabric at JoAnn’s, and when I did, I knew…
