I'm remaking a few of my favorite patterns in solids, to hopefully inspire you to start something new! If you aren't following me on Instagram, I highly recommend it - I do plan to continue to blog, but love sharing quick peeks at what I'm working on, while I'm working on it. (+I'm about to [...]
*I switched my hosting last week, and lost this post in the process. I'm just glad it's the only one! My Wonderland Quilt has been a long time in the making! I had collected and saved a Jelly Roll, Honey Bun and Charm Pack of the group while I was writing my first book, unable [...]
I finished up my Think Big Quilt Along quilt last week, and had a hard time getting photos. It's been all snow, all the time, here in the mountains, but I finally took the quilt out in the snow, and got some nice shots! Since all the blocks in the book are 18" I mixed [...]
Hi friends! I have a quilt in the new issue of American Patchwork and Quilting, that is on newsstands now! Here's a look at the cover so that you know what you are looking for at the store: My quilt features Chic Neutrals fabrics, (in shops now) and is paper pieced. I love the setting [...]
Coming home from Quilt Market, I knew I had one project that I really wanted to take on, just for me - well kinda. I had gotten the EZ Quilting template over the busy summer months, and was inspired by a painting seen while shopping online for a challenge quilt to be entered into Quiltcon. [...]
Or "Serenity Now!" in your best George Costanza - I know some of you are thinking it, so I wanted to put the awkward moment behind us! I thought I would just be introducing patterns in this post, but realized I couldn't even share the fabrics with you until Market, thus it hasn't happened yet. [...]
It seems like most everyone is back to school, and my friends Barb and Mary of Me & My Sister Designs, have a great new book, Precut Primer, full of lessons for quilters! I love how the book is laid out with grades 1-12, each project slightly more challenging, but I have to say, working [...]
Equalizer is super simple and fun to make! And there's lot's of room for your creativity. Photo Credit: Martingale/Brent Kane The best part about Think Big, is all the options, and being able to try one block before cutting half-square triangles for a bed quilt. I broke it down into charts, to walk you [...]
Building Blocks is the simplest pattern in the book, and great for showing off your favorite large scale prints! I had fun combining the prints with soft polka dots.

Intersections is a collection of squares and rectangles, making a fun arrangement of color.

Tilt-a-Whirl is a perfect introduction to pieced curves. The units are nice and large, so the curve is gentle, and not too challenging to stitch up. I've loved incorporating more curves into my patchwork the last year or so, and hope that you will too! Photo Credit: Martingale/Brent Kane The best part about [...]
Moving Mosaic is one of the more complex patterns in Think Big. I went back and forth in the planning stages as to what size I was going to make of this quilt, because I knew it was going to be a time consuming project! In the end I decided to make it a king [...]
