Okay, so I am happy to finally reveal my Ticky Tackquilt - another custom printed panel design that was designed and quilted by me. This was the first time for me using a printed panel for custom quilting and the fabric is 100% polyester, so it has a new feel for me. The fabric has a soft feel to it and because it is printed on a tight weave fabric, I needed to use a smaller needle (90/14) while...

I am so thrilled to finally share what I have been working on for the last several months.  I have wanted to make a pineapple quilt forever. I drew one up at the beginning of the year and made that design up into a quilt, but - it didn't look good, or work right for what I wanted. So, I started over and decided on the design, Patchwork Pineapple, that you see now. This is such a fun quilt to put...

So, you saw my latest post and my beautiful Gypsy quilt, I hope.  If not, you can read all about it here. I made a second version of this quilt pattern because I realize that not everyone will be quilting the pattern like I did on the original quilt.

I also took out some of the smaller piecing; keeping the original block in tack, but taking out some of the extra work in the block. This version is...

It is finally done!  Gypsy is done!  This quilt has been in the works for over 2 years.  It was drawn, then sat and waited for its turn to be made up by me.  I know I wanted to create a pattern that I could play with the quilting design. I also knew this pattern would be a fabulous quilt to piece in any fabric choice.

So, I used V and Co's Ombre fabric for the colors in this quilt - watch for a...

Hi Everyone!  I am so excited to introduce to you my first ever designed ruler - the QuickMark Ruler! This has been in the works for a while, so I am happy to let you know that it is finally available. I designed this ruler so that I could have more options with marking while working on my quilts. You know that I mark A LOT when I quilt and that isn't going to change for my custom quilting, so...
