Sew Dreamy: Butterfly Bouquet Quilt

Attention curvy quilters! So excited to share a gorgeous new quilt pattern from Simone Quilts that you ARE going to want to make. I know that lots of us are fans of curved piecing around here and we know that the Classic Curves Ruler is the best for making quick work out of the cutting. Simone's new pattern, Butterfly Bouquet, is such a sweet new addition to your curved piecing project list. I love seeing other quilters making really cool quilt designs with curves...I so often see one and think, "I wish I'd thought of that!". A while back on Instagram...

June Special! Free Pattern with Purchase

Summer has finally arrived! Here in Central Ohio, we pretty much went from winter to summer in one weekend a couple weeks ago. Now it's soooo hot! Some of you know I got a golden retriever puppy (her name is Birdy) in March. It is so humid here, even her fur gets all kinky when we go outside! Hope you are all faring well as the world opens up a bit post-quarantine, and that you are all finding some escape from a stressful world through your creative projects. To celebrate the arrival of summer and all new quilting projects (because, truly,...

Food Bank Fundraiser

**UPDATE: the fundraiser is finished and we donated $516 to the food bank! thank you to all who participated and made this a big success!!** What a spring it's been! Has it really only been about six weeks since we all started staying home and life really changed for so many? One of the things that has bothered me in this pandemic world of stay-at-home orders and shuttered businesses and schools is the potential loss of security for so many of our neighbors. I really want to do something to help, and hope you'll join me! I designed a shirt that I...

Video: How to Sew the Mod Shapes Quilt

I don't know about you, but I just can't get enough of basic, all-over patterned quilts. Take one or two simple shapes, make them nice and big to show off pretty fabrics, and you have something sure to say "happy". The Mod Shapes quilt totally does that, plus! you'll learn a new technique with sewing half circles. It's easy enough to make a quick quilt, super fun to sew, and ideal for large scale fabric prints.

Scrappy Zipper Pouch, a tutorial

Since I've been on a scrappy tear lately, I wanted to share some scrappy project ideas here. I spent time at the first of the year cleaning up my sewing space and it felt soooo good! I've felt a renewed interest in sewing with my stash and making scrappy quilts. Feeling like getting back to what I really love most about quilting: picking out fabrics and colors and putting them into just the right mix and piecing design. That said, this first scrappy project isn't a quilt (although we are piecing scraps for part of it), but a cute little...

A More Magical Quilt Kit

It's so exciting to show you another new quilt! I think you'll fall in love with the Magic pattern all over again. (-: Ever feel like you want to make that beautiful new quilt pattern, but can't make up your mind on fabric palette? I do that all. the. time. It's kind of a paralyzing feeling and makes it hard to get started on new projects. Of course, as a lover of all things fabric, color and pattern, I'm happy to help you choose a gorgeous selection of fabric...and that's why my favorite thing about having my little quilt shop online...

Help Me Give to Help Australia

I've been thinking a lot about wanting to help the crisis in Australia with the fires. We've seen the images of destroyed habitat and injured and dead animals. At least one firefighter that I know of has been killed and many homes destroyed. It's not enough to say I feel sad about the state of our planet and the trajectory we are on. As with many of the current events in our news, despite feeling strongly about the issues and often terribly sad at what I'm hearing and reading, I feel so helpless to make a difference. So. I decided that...
