This was the one quilt that I completed this summer. I even took it on vacation with me! (I think only a nutty sew-er thinks about the sewing projects she is going to take on vacation with her...seriously.) But it was relaxing and a stress-free sewing project...so it was fun.It is a nine-patch quilt with the leftover fabric from The Princess and the Pea projects (which in cased you missed you will see again on Friday) and boy was I glad that there was enough leftover to piece together the ...

Indian Summer Quilt Along!
One of the questions that I have been getting lately is where would I begin if I wanted to make a quilt? Well, next week we are going to spend Monday, Wednesday and Friday showing you how to make a quilt top. It should be a fun week....and if you can't sew along, it will still be a good reference for when you do feel like quilting. I pinky promise the pattern is easy (me and my old-school graph paper made it...you bet it's easy). And you will essentially be learning how to make a simple ... View the Post
The Princess and the Pea Quilt Tutorial

First I cut 2" strips of the leftover fat quarters from the Peggie people story. The fabric is Riley Blake's Willow line. Then ... View the Post
Baby Coin Quilt
(Don't I have the best assistant ever? And thankfully she has a thing for gold shoes as well...) I told you earlier that one of my goals this year was to do a bit more quilting. It's been kind of a full-circle thing, because baby blankets and quilts were some of the first things I started sewing again after my first was born. And it's been really enjoyable to have a quilting project going that I can pick up and leave in between garment sewing. This one was a baby quilt for a cousin's ... View the Post
