I was so honored to be asked to create a block for the 2017 Quilter's Planner. My block, Doves in the Daylight, is an adaptation of a classic block called Dove in the Window. I love the simplicity of the block and the visual impact it makes with simple shapes. I thought it was the perfect block to turn into a mini, so I made one to share with you. If you are following along with the Quilter's Planner Quilt-along this year, I'll include the full tutorial below. Please feel free to ask if you have … [Read more...]
Meet my newest quilt – Scrappy Geese for Quilt Theory
I'm so excited to share my latest quilt design, called Scrappy Geese! It is a super fun, scrap friendly, colorful flying geese inspired quilt. I designed it for a new quilt pattern company called Quilt Theory. The story behind Quilt Theory is a cool one... In February 2016, a group of quilters connected to cultivate relationships with others running businesses in the quilting industry. A tight-knit group was quickly woven together as we shared successes, answered questions, and supported one … [Read more...]
2016 Mid Year Review
Although I was fashionably late with my New Year's goals, Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirl has generously invited anyone to join her mid year review link up. I think it's the perfect time to reflect on the past 6 months and re-focus, re-tool, and get re-energized for the rest of the year. At the beginning of the year I was finally at a point in life (the baby actually sleeps!) where I could start to focus on quilting again. My goals were made with the idea that I would tie up some old loose … [Read more...]
My Favorite Binding Tutorials
For months I've been trying to find time to write a binding tutorial. But I think sometimes when you keep pushing a task to the bottom of the to-do list, it's a sign that it's just not the right time for that project. What inspired me to write one was I wanted to have a go-to source for instructions when I teach my sister how to quilt this summer (yes, I've converted a family member to join in my quilting mania!!!!). Instead, I put together this list of my favorite binding resources online. … [Read more...]
Podcasts, Photography, and Facing Fear
I have exciting news to share! My interview with Pat Sloan for her American Patchwork & Quilting Podcast airs today. She was so warm and welcoming and we had a fun chat about quilting and photography. I hope you go have a listen! If you just found my blog after listening, welcome! I'm so glad you came to check out my work. Here are a few photos you'll run into while checking out my blog... A lot of you may not know, but I'm a VERY quiet person and hate being the center of attention in … [Read more...]
The Minis Blog Tour Quilt
About a month ago, Pat Bravo put out the call on Instagram for quilters who wanted to try their hand at a mini quilt combining her Dare and Essentials II fabric collections. It sounded like such a fun challenge, and I was thrilled to be selected as one of the quilters for The Minis Blog Tour. I was sent the "Dare to Be Funky" colorway from Dare and the Azure colorway from Essentials II. I wanted to design something for this mini quilt that really emphasized how the two collections worked … [Read more...]
