It doesn’t take long once you know me until you realize that I really like getting organized.
I’m not the best at staying organized, but I really love to have a place for everything and everything in it’s place.
This year I was about to order the same old same old 2019 planner, when a friend of mine showed me her Quilter’s Planner. Sure, I had heard about it before, but didn’t really think much of it. I assumed it was some traditional old-school planner. Boy, was I wrong! (Continue reading…)
Today is a special day.
Yes, yes, it’s just another tutorial…
but it’s not just another tutorial, because today I’m releasing my very first video tutorial.
That’s right—I’ve finally realized that it is 2018 and that video is the way to go. I think you’re really going to enjoy these videos too! I love being able to interact with you like you’re in the studio sewing with me. I’m excited to see what you guys think and get started on more video tutorial projects! (Continue reading…)
Between the Turkey Coma and the Shopping Marathon, I don’t know how we are supposed to cross the finish line on Cyber Monday and have enough energy for Giving Tuesday. But here’s your little paper cup of water…you can do this!
As you already know, this weekend I’ve been offering 40% off all of my patterns. As a special Cyber Monday Deal, I want to offer one more goodie for you! (Continue reading…)
I hope you’ve recovered from your turkey coma because it’s time to shop! I hope that this list helps to save you some cash and inspires you to give a gift that she’ll treasure for a long time!

Have you even been holding a quilt or have it draped across your lap and think hmmm…this would be a pretty dress!
I certainly have. So, today I’m going to do act on that thought…
Today is the day! I’m so very excited to share another new pattern with you. I’m especially excited about this one not only because I love the simple design, but because of the great success and beautiful quilts that came out of the pre-release testing!
I really think you’re going to enjoy the endless possibilities of my newest pattern, Hypersonic. It involves a little bit of cutting, but this quilt comes together quickly and the results are stunning. No matter what size you choose— baby, throw, or twin sizes, you’ll love this quilt. Take a look and let me know what you think! (Continue reading…)
Today I am so excited to share my latest pattern release with you! There’s no better description of my blog recently than “the calm before the storm.” Things have been pretty quiet around the here on the front end of things lately, which is not normal for me. But behind the scenes, I’ve been madly sewing, designing, testing, and prepping! Bloctopus is one of THREE patterns that will be releasing in the next month along with a few exciting guest appearances by me on other platforms (I’ll be sure to share these all with you so you don’t miss a thing!).

Have you ever played around with an old quilt block only to find that a modern look isn’t far off?
I had the pleasure of working with Benartex on their latest issue of Modern By the Yard. This eZine releases today and includes a block that I designed! Make sure you check out my block below and then pick up a copy to see the other awesome blocks by Heather Black and Chris Dodsley.
You may have noticed some fun patterns around here lately like Snail Mail and my upcoming pattern: Polaroid Post.
There’s something sweet and old-fashioned about getting a card in the mail these days, the joy that you experience when someone took the time to sit and hand write you a thoughtful note is undeniable!
Now, when someone takes the time to sit down and sew me their thoughts—that means the world! Quilted postcards are a great way to get a quick little project in and show someone you care. The best part? You can create them using fabrics from your scrap pile and odds are that this card won’t get thrown away or stashed in a box…these are center-of-the-refrigerator material!
(Continue reading…)Today I want to share a very fun pattern that I’ve created. If snails aren’t your thing, then you’ll still want to read on and see how you can create a quilted post card…it’s pretty cool!
