One of my goals this year is to slow down and take the time to document my quilt making process. Of course, I love taking the finished quilt "glamour shots", but especially as my makes become more complicated, I really want to make sure I capture things from start to finish. This is mostly for me to remember things, but hopefully it will be interesting to someone else too :) My newest quilt, Clamshell Jamboree, took about 10 weeks to complete (which is fast for me!) and is my most intricate … [Read more...]

Reindeer Ridge Quilt Along – Month 8 – Quilting
Hello quilt along friends! We've reached our 8th and final month of the quilt along! It's been so much fun working on this quilt along with you all this year. I have loved seeing your versions coming together!! Last month we finished up our quilt tops! This is my finished quilt top below. It is much taller than I realized, and even my 6'4" quilt helper couldn't keep it off the ground! :) Now that our quilt tops are finished, it's time to think about how to quilt them. I would say this … [Read more...]
Reindeer Ridge Quilt Along – Month 7 – Quilt Assembly
Hey there quilt along friends! This is the month where it all comes together! Time for quilt assembly! At this point we've sewn all the rows, so now it's just a matter of putting them in order and sewing them together! There is an assembly diagram in the pattern to help you keep the order straight. One thing I love about this pattern is nothing in the rows needs to line up as you assemble it! So it's very forgiving as you put it together. I use a lot of pins and take it slow as I … [Read more...]
Reindeer Ridge Quilt Along – Month 6 – Tree or Snowflake and Center Panel Assembly
Happy June quilt along friends. I hope this post finds you happily sewing the day away. This month's block is the tree or the snowflake for the center of the quilt. And we'll be assembling the center panel ahead of next month's quilt top assembly. We're almost there folks! One of my favorite things about this quilt is the option to choose the center block. It makes the quilt even more versatile in terms of theme and design. The cover quilt for this pattern, for example, uses a tree center and … [Read more...]
Reindeer Ridge Quilt Along – Month 5 – Reindeer
Welcome to Month 5 of the Reindeer Ridge Quilt Along! This is another one of my favorite months because we'll be making these adorable reindeer! If you don't want to make the entire quilt, I also think these would make really cool pillows. This month builds upon some skills we've already done, but it's a little bit different in terms of piecing, so I'll walk you through it a bit. This section is not hard to sew, but requires lots of paying attention. It is easy to get pieces flipped the … [Read more...]
