Things I love

Uncategorized

27 May
My mom. She got me a gift certificate to The Fat Quarter Shop for mother’s day.
I also love my daughter, who is “designing” her own quilt in her own notebook with mommy’s fancy colored pencils. Oh, and the Chic Fil A drink. Oh and my hubby in the background.

The Fat Quarter Shop for delivering the fabric I ordered the next day.

And Michael Miller’s Gray Citron and Black line, which I am making into the variation Shoo Fly quilt (I first saw it here). The blocks will turn out to be 15 inch squares; big, but I wanted to capture the whole owl on a square.

I’m loving the way it’s turning out.

    That is going to be so cool. Do you give most of your quilts away as gifts? Or do you keep some for yourself?

And after 15 years, I’m still not sick of it either! 😉

If you have been quilting for a while now, you kno If you have been quilting for a while now, you know the feeling.

Of course you still love quilting. But sometimes you just feel stuck in a creative rut.

You have plenty of fabric, plenty of patterns, plenty of pretty things saved that you’d love to make someday, and definitely plenty of WIPs. 😅

But letaly when you walk into your sewing room, you wonder what to make, and you try to find what will get you the most excited to sew. 

And if you’re going through this now, sometimes you just need a good dose of fresh inspiration, which is exactly what I’m hoping you’ll find at the Fall Quilters Paradise Summit.

I hope you’ll find a technique you’ve never tried, a teacher who shows you a completely different way to do something, a project that makes you immediately start digging through your stash thinking, Ooooh... what if I used THIS?!

From September 21–28, we’re bringing together 40+ quilting masterclasses covering piecing, precision, scraps, free-motion quilting, color, appliqué, improv, finishing, creative design and SO much more.

I’m co-hosting again AND teaching The BEST Way to Foundation Piece Featuring Modern Triangle 60#quiltingforbeginners 🤓🧵

And you can join the whole thing online for FREE.

If your quilting mojo has been missing lately, come find it with us. The summit starts in one week! Comment ‘SUMMIT,’ and I’ll send you the details to get your ticket. 🎟️

If foundation piecing usually ends with you and yo If foundation piecing usually ends with you and your seam ripper having a little too much quality time together... you’ll love what I am teaching for the Quilter’s Paradise Fall Summit! 😅

There are some quilting techniques that look SO good when they’re finished... but can feel unnecessarily frustrating while you’re actually making them.

Foundation piecing doesn’t have to be one of those techniques, and i’m going to teach you a better way. I’ll walk you through the method I use to make these beautiful, precise modern triangle blocks without all the frustration.

We’ll make Modern Triangle #60 together, and you’ll get to see exactly how I approach the process from start to finish.

Whether foundation piecing has intimidated you, frustrated you in the past, or you’re an experienced quilter who’s simply curious to see another way to do it, I would LOVE to have you join me.

The Quilter’s Paradise Summit is a week of quilting techniques and playtime, that you can attend for FREE. 

Come take my class, tune into some of the other sessions, make a modern triangle block with me, and see if you discover your new favorite way to foundation piece.

Comment ‘SUMMIT’ to get your free ticket, and I’ll see you there!
