Today I am finally going to share a quilt that I made for my sister in law for Christmas. It's a family movie night quilt...a crazy, crazy family movie night quilt. Every family should have one of these...we had one growing up as kids that we drug around everywhere: on vacations, in the van, for sleepovers, where ever...and it was crazy. So I just wanted to continue the tradition for my brother's family. So the first step was finding the right fabric. Which wasn't too hard. ... View the Post

Quilting the new classics
I love quilting books...a lot. I probably have at least two dozen of them on my bookshelf. They are so fun and there is always something new to learn...a new trick, technique, or block.

So, she gathered quilters from all over to remake traditional quilt blocks and the results are so much ... View the Post
Summer Floral Dress
