Sweet Surrender Quilt

1
Okay, so it took me a little while to finish this quilt top.  It is amazing that I find I don't have as much time quilting as I would like, but I am making it work and the quilts I am privileged to work on are always so much fun.  This client quilt was no different. 
The quilt is Beth's, and she did an amazing job with the applique and piecing. I always love working on her quilt tops. The quilt...

Book Update and Sneak Peek!

Secondary Designs Cover 
Okay Friends!  I need to update you on what is going on with my second book, Secondary Designs with Judi Madsen. First off, you will notice that the cover is a little bit different than the one that is on my site for pre-purchase, as well as the cover picture on Amazon.  The cover change was a surprise to me, I saw the new cover when I went to Nashvillea few weeks ago. It still uses the same...

Red and White Quilty love!

1 
So, this quilt is pieced by Jan.  It is a gift for her daughter who loves the color red.  I think it looks amazing and I had a lot of fun quilting this top up.  This is a design from Judy Martin's Stellar Quilts book, I found it on Amazon, here
Okay, I used Glide thread, 1 layer of Hobbs 80/20 Cotton/Poly batting and Magna Glide bobbins. Hopefully that answers all the questions before they are...

Carry All Tote remake...

1
After such a busy spring/summer teaching schedule, I was desperate to make things. Teaching is a wonderful thing that I get to do, but I am happiest when I am creating. So, this summer I finished my Metro Medallion, Just Call Me Modern and I wanted to make my Carry All Tote pattern again. This project was meant as a gift though, so it was a lot more fun to make. I planned on making 4 totes, but I...

Just Call Me Modern take 2

1 
So the kids are in school today - that means that I have no more excuses to keep up this blog and I am so excited to share this quilt with you, finally.  I made it this quilt as an example of another version of my pattern, Just Call Me Modern? to take to the Oregon Coastal Quilters Guild in July.  That was a fun trip!  Those of you who follow me on Facebook and Instagramwould have already seen...

Metro Medallion Finished.

Okay, first off - sorry about the lame presence here on the blog.  I have been so busy!  I can finally breath and hopefully will have more time to spend on here.  But, what a better way to come back to the blog than by sharing a finished quilt!?!

So, I have wanted to make a new quilt for my bed for a while. My mom made me a beautiful quilt 5 years ago and I have loved it and used it this whole...

Tree of Life Quilt

1
I have to tell you that I am pretty excited about this quilt. I also have to tell you that I didn't know anything about this quilt until after I had quilted it. This quilt is from an old kit, it has reference lines for the quilting and the scalloped edges that I disregarded and quilted the way that I wanted. Now, before you are all shocked that I didn't quilt the way the quilt was intended, Jeanna...

Hi there!!  Can you believe Christmas has come and gone?  It seems like time never stands still and these past few months have flown for me. I managed to accomplish a lot (as far as quilts) this past month.  So, I wanted to share them with you all in one post.  I hope you don't mind.
The quilt above is my friend Emily's. I always have so much fun quilting for her. Her quilts are fun, bright and...

Magenta Magic by Janet Knapp finished.

1
Okay, for those of you following me on Instagram and Facebook, you have been waiting 10 weeks for this reveal. No, it didn't take me ten weeks - I had trips in between and plenty of down time (meaning I am juggling a lot right now), but the quilt itself was on the frames for 10 weeks. So, ya - I am glad to finally have this quilt finished. Before you ask - I won't tell you how long this quilt took...
