I'm so excited to finally get to share this project with you! I shared photos of my original block way back in August, and I have finally gotten around to editing the video tutorial. Editing video is challenging to me, so I put it off - sometimes for 3 months! Luckily, it all came together … Continue reading Glowing Flowering Snowball
I have been late to jump on the bowl cozy bandwagon. When AccuQuilt offered me to opportunity to make samples of the new small bowl cozy and write pattern for this die release I decided to give it a try. In one afternoon I whipped up 10 of these little guys. They are cute and … Continue reading Small Bowl Cozies with AccuQuilt
Earlier this year I found out that AccuQuilt would be releasing a penguin die. I was near hysteria. I immediately shot off an email pitching some kind of wool appliqué, and we decided a Christmas stocking would be just right. So, I present to you, my penguin Christmas stockings with wool appliqué. You can download … Continue reading Penguin Christmas Stockings
Hey! I'm so excited to share this quilt I designed for AccuQuilt! I used the brand new Star of the East BOB die and combined it with the Glorified Nine Patch BOB. Combining blocks from these premium dies is always fun. I'm kind of tapped out on quilt names, so I've cleverly combined the two … Continue reading Glorified Star of The East

(I'll … Continue reading Weekly Update – Sept 9, 2022

It is a free pattern available on the AccuQuilt website. When AccuQuilt released their 9 1/2'" big … Continue reading Stars in Space Quilt
AccuQuilt has just released the most adorable mini Christmas stocking die. I was happy to test it out for them, and I decided to collaborate with my in-house sashiko master to make some sashiko mini stockings to use as gift tags.

A few months ago my liaison at AccuQuilt showed me one of their upcoming dies - it was a little birdhouse with a bird on it. I am a huge fan of wild birds. I love to watch them come to my feeders in my yard. Watching them hop around the trees, and hearing the … Continue reading Bird & Birdhouse Die with AccuQuilt

I've been making denim quilts for … Continue reading Making Quilts with Denim
