I’ve been teasing you for a long time about my newest design, Breezy, on Instagram and Facebook. But guess what? The big day is finally here! I can officially set this little bird free to fly and you can get your own copy today. This pinwheel quilt pattern has so many great options, I just can’t wait to see what you do with it! I’ve been blown away by the variations I’ve seen my testers create already—this is such a fun quilt and I’m so glad that I get to share it with you. (Continue reading…)
You always know that one of my upcoming patterns has something wild in it…I always come out with these really specific blog posts that seem a bit off the wall. This is one of those posts, BUT learning how to cut large triangles on the bias and keep things straight will be super helpful for you when you get started on my newest pattern because **drumroll please** Breezy will be making her debut NEXT WEEK! [Update: Here’s the pattern release!]
I can’t believe how this giant {and gorgeous} barn dwarfs this king-sized quilt!
Well, hello there! I bet you’re looking at the title of this post and wondering why I’m calling myself a new quilt blogger.

Hallelujah! It’s my first UFO finish for the year! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but these Hanky Pillows have been about 5-6 years in the making…and it’s not because they take a long time!

It’s also a great reminder that my mom’s legacy will live on through us, and we can continue not just to sew, but to show love and compassion for people through our sewing. (Continue reading…)
I know I’ve completely lost it—this is the third pinwheel/half square triangle post in the past few months, but I have my reasons:
-You’re going to get an awesome new pattern later this month that includes *some* pinwheels, so you’re welcome in advance!
-I’ve made about 560 Half Square Triangles (140 pinwheels) in the past month, so I probably have lost it a little…
-I’ve got one more post on giant Half Square Triangles coming up, so just settle in. (Continue reading…)
