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...

Hi Everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful month and for those of you in the USA, I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with happiness and joy as you spent time with friends and family.  We had a wonderful time as a family and we are so grateful for all we have been given, we are truly blessed.

As promised, here is peek at another project from my book, Secondary Designs with Judi Madsen. This quilt is...

 

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...

 

Hi there! It has been a while. It is hard to keep up blogging with all that is going on in my life, but I hope you are happy with waiting because I have had some exciting things going on.  I have had to keep a lot of my quilting secret because I have been working on 2 more quilting classes with iquilt.com  

The above picture is from my "Progressive Detail Quilting," class and I know you are going...

 

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...

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...

 

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...

 

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...

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, right? Well, I am trying to take that approach to my life because I have realized that I have allowed a little too much negativity to creep in. So, I am finding joy in the journey and learning to laugh a little more when life doesn't go as planned. So, this is the story of my night tonight, I want to record it for me. It definitely was better experienced...

First off, thank you so much for your love on my new book coming out this fall!  I am excited for September and I hope you all are to.  The pre-orders are pouring in and I can not thank you enough for your support!  

 

Okay, so in between Spokaneand MQX - which I will blog about later - I had preparations for some of my new classes. The above picture is for my Wide Open Borders class. This is such a...
