Quilts & Quilting

  • Diamond Star Block

    I’m finishing up the blocks for my Your (Second) Modern Quilt class–Y2MQ for short–and thought today I’d put together the quilt top.  Naturally, that’s when I realized I had run out…

  • Linen & Double-Gauze Mini-Quilt

    Recently, the do.Good Stitches circle hosts did a swap, the first we’ve done.  Actually, this is the first Flickr swap I’ve EVER done, which seems odd for me to admit, because…

  • Organic Acorns Quilt Finished!

    I’ve decided to call this quilt Organic Acorns, after playing with some other ideas.  I really enjoyed sitting down with this half yard bundle and not thinking too much, just laying…

  • New Quilt Books on the Market

    There have been a whole mess of new quilt books coming out these past few months, and I seem to have developed a collect-them-all urge.  I’ve been bringing them home from…

  • Essential Quilting Begins Today!

    The Essential Quilting e-course started today, and I am thrilled!  We’re doing so much more than just “learning to quilt.”  The class covers all the foundational skills, but also targets a…

  • On a Whim? On a Lark? Quilt Top

    I’m thinking about calling this quilt something like “On a Whim” or “On a Lark,” because it was a total surprise that I put together a quilt top today–not what I…

  • Blocks in Progress

    I have a whole mess of different bee projects going on right now, which is fun, because it means I get to dabble in some different styles of quilt block without…

  • TARDIS Quilt, I Knew You Existed.

    When I’m sewing, I often will hit my Netflix Instant account and re-watch programs I’ve seen and loved as I work.  I have exhausted most of those–I’ve gone through all the…

  • Essential Quilting E-Course Now Registering!

    Over the past two years, I have taught the Your First (Modern) Quilt class to dozens of (amazingly cool, smart, awesome) women, and it has been incredible amounts of fun.  Last…

  • Rainy Days and Silent Films Quilt

    The spiky free-motion quilted project I mentioned last week is complete!  And just in time for a rainy, rainy day. This is another 1600 quilt, like the Domestic Bliss one I…

  • Spiky and Black

    I’m working on quilting another jelly roll project.  And this time it’s spiky FMQ a la Elizabeth Hartman. Wait for it.…

  • An Embarassment of HSTs

    I’ve got three separate HST projects going on at the moment.  Which either means I am a complete, obsessive nutcase or a wild-haired genius. Either way, lots of triangles over here.…

  • Domestic Bliss Quilt

    My Domestic Bliss quilt top is finished!  And it has already been on vacation!  We headed up to the lake this weekend, following my appearance at the Festival of Alabama Fiber…

  • Domestic Bliss Quilt Top for the Meetup!

    I am frantically trying to complete the quilting on this Domestic Bliss jelly roll quilt so I can take it with me tonight to the meetup and sew on the binding. …

  • Apple Cores

    Perfect Pants update: pink version made, loved, and worn to school today; retro jeans version muddied and in the laundry as we speak.  Photos soon! In the meantime, I’m working on…
