Sunday Stash
I made a trip down to The Village Mercantile in Boonville, IN this week and found the perfect fabric for the next baby quilt. The front of the quilt will use a charm pack of Road 15 by Sweetwater for Moda and a coordinating burgundy swirl print that I found. The back is cream yardage…

I recently released the throw quilt pattern from my Communique Quilt, but have talked to a few people who are interested in making the design into a bed quilt. Because of this, I’ve set up the full king-size layout for you. In this version of the pattern, I’ve marked the throw quilt design in…

This week’s them for #EverydayProject52 is Yellow. And while I don’t have much yellow in my wardrobe, I do still seem to have a lot of it in my life. Especially in my book collection. It’s a good thing I don’t arrange my books by color, like some people do. I think my shelves would…

I have several hobbies that I really enjoy doing. One, which you have been seeing a lot of lately is reading. I always seem to have a book in my hand. But I promise that’s not the only thing I do for fun. I love to create, and one of my favorite mediums to work…

If you love quilting, or just hoarding fabric as much as I do, I’m sure you know about the Fat Quarter Shop. Because of their amazing selection, it’s one of my favorite places to order fabric online. The best part is their Flash Sale page, which gets updated at 10AM every day. That means I…
