Don't worry, it … Continue reading Why I Love Improv Quilting
Guys - I did a big thing this week! I finally finished off my Kawandi Style Quilting On-Demand class! I've been working on this for a long time, trying to get it perfect. I realized it will never be perfect, so I pushed the button and released it. I'm so excited by the reception it … Continue reading Kawandi Style Quilting On-Demand
This idea has been on my mind for a little bit. I'm not the starter or big revolutions, but I do feel like I'm tired of making quilts with straight edges. This insistence on square corners and straight lines has been rubbing me the wrong way lately. With that in mind, I chatted with Irene … Continue reading The Revolution Starts Now
Hey, guys! I've decided that my ideal format of just sharing 1-2 project per week isn't working for me in my current headspace. I have too many moving parts in my life right now, and focusing on them is getting tough. So, I'm going to do a brain dump and bring you along. Enjoy! (I'll … Continue reading Weekly Update – Sept 9, 2022
I can't believe I didn't share about this experience earlier! I've gotten into a new publication, and it is so beautiful! I wrote an essay about Kawandi Quilting and took some photos of my process.

I wrote this post during the last week of my Florida vacation. Rather than re-write it, here it is, three weeks later. Have you all seen the I Found a Quilted Heart page yet? I've seen quilted hearts pop up in social media a few times, and they are cute, but never called to me. … Continue reading Creative Detour

I am taking a class this month - Choreography with Irene Roderick. The goal of Choreography is to develop my artistic voice. This ties in so nicely with my watercolor and other art explorations I have been doing. We meet each week, do show and tell, including critiques, and listen to a lecture from Irene. … Continue reading Choreography with Irene Roderick
I feel like it has been a minute since I shared about my watercolor painting. I can't remember how much I have shared, but I have a nice project that ends in a quilt. I signed up to take a watercolor class, for college credit, at my local community college. There is a weekly meeting … Continue reading Regatta Mini Quilt
Today is the last day of the Ocean Waves Quilt Block Imagination Renovation Challenge. Not surprisingly, I did not make an entire quilt. I have big plans, but they don't involve this one being finished before next year. I am really happy with the quilt I've begun, though. I've been taking a class with Clara … Continue reading Ocean Waves Quilt Block – Week 4
