Grandma's Sheets Quilt After my Grandma passed away I was able to be there with aunts, uncles, and cousins as we sorted the items that remained in her home. Because she was so organized there wasn't much left...only precious memories and utilitarian items...like a set of old sheets...sheets that moved from house to house...that I had slept in....that were quintessentially my grandmother. That set of sheets came home with me. I tried to cut into them a number of times but ... View the Post
Endurance Quilt Block Goes to London
Endurance Quilt Block Goes to London Awhile back I started a series that I knew would be a personal project that, for me, would last a lifetime. I called it "Grounded: A Quilt Block Series" and it was based on combining flooring patterns that I love and admire with the grounding feeling I get when I sew. At the time I had no idea how needed this grounding would, and continues to be for me. The time I've spent alone cutting and stitching while thinking about various spaces has seen ... View the Post
Another Log Cabin Quilt
I have another Log Cabin Quilt to share....it isn't the first, and I'm sure it won't be the last. I love Log Cabin Quilt Blocks. I love them so much we recorded an entire podcast about them.

There's just something about that golden block in the center that grows and spreads as the ... View the Post

All the fabric used in this quilt (that I also shared in my previous post) came from my scrap bin...the squares, the border, the binding EVERYTHING ... View the Post
Scrappy Block Bonus Quilt
Scrappy Block Bonus Quilt I have piles of scraps. Bins of scraps. Buckets of scraps. So many scraps that even my scraps have scraps! And because I'm always working on new projects the scraps just keep piling up. So for the past two years I always have a scrap project going alongside my new works in progress. And, sewing up mismatched blocks and turning them into quilts is one of my favorite scrap projects. Next to my sewing machine I have a bin full of scraps ... View the Post
8 Bit Tulip Quilt
8 Bit Tulip Quilt Last summer I got to take my whole family to visit my brother who has been living in Amsterdam. I love Amsterdam...the canals, the food, the museums, and the flowers...especially the tulips. So as I prepared for that trip, I thought about what quilts I wanted to make and take with me on that summer adventure. I knew for sure I'd need to another tulip quilt. I'd made one for a previous trip to Amsterdam: And I love it! Sooooooo.....I decided to ... View the Post
