Rosalie in Progress
I’ve got a quilt project I should be working on right now. It’s the Rosalie pattern, which is a super great way to make a quilt with hexies without having to do y-seams. I’m even using it as a stash buster, cutting the large hexies out of all different fat quarters. But for some reason,…
Read MoreApril Themed Projects from Around the Web
April Showers bring May Flowers, at least I think that’s how the poem goes. And I’ve seen a lot of great April Showers themed projects on the web over the last few days. Here are a few of my favorites. I found these great Mug Rugs by Quilting and Other Craft Therapy via Threadbias. I…

I’m excited to share with you a great resource for beginning quilters that I wish I had known about when I first started my quilting journey. It’s Quilty! Quilty is a great resource because it really does start right from the beginning. Everything that you didn’t learn in home ec class. That’s right. I know…
Read MoreModern Crazy Quilt
I’ve been working on another crazy quilt for the last few weeks, and am super excited to say that the top is done. After the first one I said I’d never make another because it takes so long to put together, and can sometimes be really frustrating. However, when my box of scraps got full…

My MIL, Mary Kay, got me an adorable charm pack for Christmas. It was the Flirtations pack by Sandy Gervais. I’ve been trying to figure out how to use it for a while. Mostly because it’s themed fabric, with lots of red and pink and hearts, and I’ve just never quite known how to…
Read MoreHalf Moon Colorist Quilt
I decided a while ago that I wanted to tackle a quilt with curves, but hadn’t been brave enough to do it. I’m pretty decent a sewing a straight line by now, but how on earth you get curves to work still seemed a little beyond me. Then I started sewing a few clothes. I…
Read MoreBack in the Groove
It started with a squeak and with every stitch a new one. My machine is really due for a service. It’s to be expected with the large number of hours I’ve put on it recently. But the squeak wasn’t the only problem. The first major issue was when my bobbin started pulling multiple threads. That…
