Hello and happy Thursday! I've been making a lot of 9-patches using our new fabric lately.  More than one of the new quilt patterns uses some variation of the 9-patch, and I've also been working on a jelly roll quilt for a book that uses a 9-patch variation.  It's a great block to use

Hello and happy Friday! Today I thought I'd share a little bit about a fun photo-of-the-day event taking place on Instagram right now. Amy Ellis of Amy's Creative Side has done a fabulous job organizing the event and coming up with fun and creative topics.  Each day there is a different prompt,

Hello and happy Thursday! Earlier this year I decided to join in on the quilt-a-long for the Village pattern of adorable houses by Carrie Nelson. I already had the pattern and decided that it would be a lot of fun to combine all of our fabric collections for the house blocks for a fun quilt.  I

Today I'm excited to share my project for the Fat Quarter Shop 2018 series Year of the Fat Quarter!  Because it's the year 2018 and fat quarters are generally 20" x 18" the Fat Quarter Shop ladies decided this would be a fun year to present a different monochromatic bundle of

Happy Tuesday! My February Sew Sampler box from Fat Quarter Shop arrived at the end of last week, and as usual I was anxious to see what was inside.  There are lots of goodies included this month including a brand new notion that is a "must get." The "Home Sweet Cottage" theme is perfect

Hello and happy Thursday! I thought I'd share another quilt from a few years back and make it a Thursday tradition.  I was going through quilts the other day to prepare for an upcoming trunk show, and found this fun quilt!  I've always loved these "beachy" prints and colors...this truly is
