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. And we have a tutorial showing you how to make them. And we have a Log Cabin (Heart of the Home) PDF Quilt Pattern. And...if I'm honest...I always have a pile of these blocks in the works. There's just something about that golden block in the center that grows and spreads as the ... View the Post
Scrappy 25 Squares Quilt Block Instructions
Scrappy 25 Squares Quilt Block Instructions I'm always thinking about how to use my scraps...and I may or may not be crazy about how I store them.

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

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
Rothko Inspired Quilt
Rothko Inspired Quilt “Silence is so accurate.”― Mark Rothko I've been intrigued by the artwork of Mark Rothko ever since I can remember. Posters of his work were plastered (among others) all over the walls of my college dorms. And when I finally entered a Modern Art Museum for the first time in my 20's (the San Fransisco Museum of Modern Art) I was thrilled to find myself face to face with his work. In fact, I started to cry and when I reached into my pocket for a tissue I ... View the Post
