Instant gratification and connection to online buddies.  Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the past week or so.  Birthday shopping for a certain little girl Cute but sneaky bow-eating baby girl Meyer lemon tree blossom for my Valentine’s Day present Feeling extra springy and I love…

Duffle bag finish

20 Feb

A few weeks ago on instagram (meanwhile, on instagram…) my friend Tammy posted this pic and I instantly had duffle bags to make for my mother and me to take on our upcoming Spring Break trip. Yah! I mean we are taking all four kids to the beach, we can get a treat too right?!  Taking to google I discovered…

Contemplating a quilt

Can you believe my baby will be a one year old in four (three!) short months?  I can’t.  Naturally, I will be making her a quilt to celebrate her birthday.  This is the bonus of babies… To make them quilts.   I’ll be using what is left of my Hushabye collection. My two oldest girls were made twin sized quilts…

Awhile back I mentioned some 12-patch blocks sewn up from a Design Roll of Chicopee by Denyse Schmidt.  So hard to unwrap the pretty!  My plan was a take off of the Coffin Star block that I originally saw Mary at Molly Flanders showcase on her blog. I didn’t realize it but Mary had used Chicopee in her blocks as well….

February Goal Setting: About Face

Uncategorized

4 Feb

This has nothing to do with my post, but these are my favorite flowers. Lilies! They smell so great. I had my husband buy me some when I picked up some groceries the other day.  🙂  Anyways, so February. My goals for this month are to make some pillows for my couch. I’ve actually already started two pillows for my…

Mark your calendars... I am revealing a BRAND-NEW Mark your calendars... I am revealing a BRAND-NEW block of the month design on May 1st! 🗓️ ✨

Yes, you read that right! 🙌

I have been working behind the scenes on ANOTHER block of the month pattern, and you’ll finally be able to see it on May 1st! 

And get excited, because this one is completely new and unlike any I have ever released before. I think you’re going to love it. 🤭

I think as quilters, we sometimes get really wrapp I think as quilters, we sometimes get really wrapped up in a project or wanting to finish by a certain deadline, that we forget to just play. 🙌

Triangle blocks are especially fun for playing with! 

Because the same exact blocks can look completely different depending on how you arrange them.

All of a sudden, you’re not just following a pattern anymore, you’re creating something unique. 🪄

And I think that’s where a lot of the joy in quilting lives.

Not in getting it “right” or making it perfect, but in letting yourself be curious. 

Letting yourself try something, change it, try something else, and be a little playful instead of precise.

Some of my favorite quilts didn’t come from a perfectly planned layout… 👇

They came from standing at the wall, thinking, “Wait… what if I try it like this instead?” 👀

So if you have a few triangle blocks sitting nearby, take a little time to play with them and see what kind of pattern they end up in. 

Comment ‘TRIANGLE’ if you want to take my free class where I teach you how to make a modern triangle, and give you a block pattern to start sewing. 💕

This time of year in the sewing room is always so This time of year in the sewing room is always so lovely. 

We FINALLY get to have the windows open, the world outside is getting colorful again, and the extra daylight is a big bonus. 

This is my recipe for a PERFECT April sewing day...

✨ Self care: plan meals/snacks for eating right & getting your exercise (booooooo! I know, I know.) Maybe a fun wee treat tho!?

✨ Entertainment: if it’s just you, get your show/ sporting event/ audible, etc. Or if you’re with your quilty buds, you know what to do! Sew, gab, laugh!

✨ Something you’re excited to sew: latest bingeable project at the ready!? Latest fabric stack that arrived in the post? Or...finally get that WIP d.u.n!

✨ Essential responsibilities taken care of: feed the dog, respond to that time-sensitive email, dinner for the fam? Take care of what you must get done so you can check out more completely.

Finally, set a timer for your hard stop time.

I set my alarm for when I need to pick up my kiddos from school. That way, I can get carried away by my creativity and indulge in “me” time!

Shut the laptop, check out, it’s sew time! 🧵 Everything else on your to-do list can wait. It is time for you!

What are you working on for a perfect April sewing day? ⬇️

If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s exactly what I’d do: ⬇️

👉 Find a community of quilters to connect with, learn from, and grow with. People who cheer you on, celebrate your blocks, and make you want to keep going!!! 

👉 Make it easier on yourself with freezer paper piecing. This technique completely changed my life. I wanted to give up on quilting altogether at one point before I found freezer paper piecing. 

It’s not that you don’t finish quilts…

It’s that you don’t have the right support or the right process yet. 🧵✨ Comment ‘FREE’ to take my free class, learn the freezer paper piecing technique, and get invited to join an amazing community. 💕

One stitch at a time!!! 🪡 Sometimes, a few hours One stitch at a time!!! 🪡

Sometimes, a few hours (or days) in the sewing room just makes it all alright. 🙌

Who agrees? ⬇️
