This is Mary's quilt, the quilt that started it all. Can you believe that Mary saw my blog post yesterday and sent me the link to the photo of her using her sunflower quilt on her dining table for a harvest party? Go check out her link and be inspired, as I was! Mary has […]
Speaking of baby quilts, my student has started her third charity quilt. We had some nice pastel fabrics donated to us, so we are using these this time, rather than going shopping and spending money. My student is very fond of the Friendship Star block, as she made her mom four mug coasters featuring that […]
There is no room in the studio for a new project. No room. So where did these strips end up? Why, on the arm of the rocking chair of course. Strips? What strips? The only strips you should be working with are the red French General strips for your Pineapple blocks. Ok, so those are […]
Today I am pleased to share with you a quilt made by Jane, who reads this blog. She has been following along with my progress on Message in a Bottle, and thought I might enjoy seeing a quilt she made using some of the same blue and brown fabrics that are in my quilt. Isn't […]
You didn't even know I had started this one, did you? I made it in just a couple of hours. Amazing, isn't it? I could start my own Quilt In A Day show. Want to know my secret? The entire quilt center is about the size of a piece of printer paper. Did I fool […]

Besame mucho means Kiss Me A Lot. And lots of kissing is what I feel like doing now that this adorable quilt is finished! Pattern is Kiss Me by Fig Tree Quilts, fabric is Strawberry Fields, also by Fig Tree for Moda. Joanna Figueroa is the designer. Aside from some tricky cutting (made easier if […]
I am so excited to show you a proper finish! This is a pattern called "Memory" by Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts. Back in March I participated in a book launch for her latest book Traditional Fat Quarter Quilts: 11 Traditional Quilt Projects from Open Gate Quilts. We were all asked to choose a […]
There is nothing more effective for making you realize how tense you are than machine quilting. I got a notion to practice my machine quilting this week, and it was quite an eye opener. I had two pieces of wonky strips I had stitched together awhile back, and thought they would make cute table runners. […]
