A generous donation was made to our local quilt group of a number of kits from a collection called French Cottage. Each kit made one block. Our program chair brought them to a meeting, and asked for volunteers to make the blocks. I think there were a couple of dozen block kits, and I took …

Garden Windows – Quilting the High Contrast Version
Quilting the high contrast version of my Moda Bake Shop design Garden Windows took forever. Or at least it seemed like it. I started by adding the borders, and then loading on the longarm. I stabilized it first by quilting in the ditch around the borders. I did a full custom job on it, each …

Moda Bake Shop – A New Recipe
I am excited to announce my latest design for Moda Bake Shop, that published on the Moda Bake Shop site late yesterday afternoon. This is the third design that the Moda Bake Shop has accepted. The fabrics are called Fern Hill designed by Jan Patek. The colors are similar values making a low volume quilt. …
Quilting Another Charity Quilt
Every time I do a quilt, I learn something, and I try to pass along those lessons. This one was no different. I was originally given this quilt and backing about 4 months ago with a group of quilts. They came from my friend whose neighborhood group in the local guild is making quilts for …
Scrap Dance Tango is Published
The Scrap Dance Tango pattern is now available on My Patterns page. Thank you to all who participated in this fun mystery quilt along! I am currently in the planning stage for more mystery fun with our scraps! I can't decide whether to do a small one for autumn / holiday, or just wait until …
Back to the Blue and Yellow Charity Quilt
When we left this project before the Christmas in July event, my longarm had completely locked up. I was flabbergasted, it always chooses a holiday weekend to give me trouble, and this happened over the 4th of July weekend. Then, the fabulous tech support guy, Randy, who can solve just about anything over the phone …

Wouldn't it be great to have a Christmas quilt this season? There are any number of quilt designs that would only need the right colors to be holiday inspired. An easy Christmas Trip Around the World done in red, green and gold becomes a holiday treasure. This one is all holiday prints too. This is …
Quick Charity Quilt
I pulled out a blue floral print as I was trying to clean out some fabrics. I just happened to see another blue, and a yellow fat quarter at the same time. I want to sew up more charity quilts, so this looked like a good combination. But, because I am deep into doing the …
Another Disappearing Nine Patch
Ready for yet another variation on the D9P? I thought originally these prints would make a good color study. Sometimes it is hard to know if prints go together. All these prints related to each other with colors in soft purples and some pale blue. The ecru background fabric was the primary print, with the …
Migrating Geese – a Quickstep Setting
I did another Scrap Dance Quickstep quilt, this time using just nine strips. Sewing long strips is a lot easier than individual squares. These strips are left over from the Moda Bake Shop recipe I did for a Pin Woven Tote (link on sidebar). I sewed sets of three strips. Then I cross cut them …
