  • Lori’s Quilt

    Lori sent me this message and a short video! My sister had her 40th birthday party on Saturday in Pennsylvania. I couldn’t be there, but her good friend shot the video for me. I did free hand quilting on each block, writing in meaningful words and images. (Names of childhood pets, favorite teachers, etc). I…

  • Alane’s Quilt Story

    Alane was working from my book “Finish (almost) Any Quilt” when she wrote to me. She was working on a quilt for her dad, sitting by his side in the hospital. Alane was hand piecing her blocks but she wanted to quilt them (and bring the quilt together) with a quilt-as-you-go method. She updated me…

  • Meet Kelly

    Kelly is not just a great quilter, swho sends me pics of her quilts, she makes videos about them!! She also made a video about how she machine quilts feathers into the borders and sashing areas of her quilts – take a look.

  • Judy’s Quilt As You Go Trip Around the World

    Judy has sent me many pics of her quilts and this one is a real stunner. I would never have thought of doing a Trip Around the World quilt with our quilt-as-you-go techniques, but now I want to make one too!! Read more about Judy’s quilt on her blog, Judysquiltsandthings 🙂

  • Cutting Fabric for a New Quilt

    Hi Quilters, I was giving a trunk show a couple of weeks ago and the topic of fabric cutting came up. So, when I started cutting my fabric for a new quilt I thought I’d video it and share the process that I use for cutting my binding and all of my joining-sashing strips from…

  • Four Gorgeous Quilts!

    Marion (from Toronto) sent me pics of her quilt (she used our “Easy to Go Crazy” pattern from Crazy Shorcut Quilts) and her fabric colors are so warm and beautiful! Here’s the note she sent – and I love the ending I have been quilting for about a year and a half and have made…

  • Quilt As You Go {reimagined}

    I found a way to hide the joining strips – sashing, in our first book – and I played with the concept until I had 4 quilts made. Of course, my idea is that there are LOTS of quilts we can make using this new innovation, but I wanted to get it to you now!…

  • New Quilt Pics!

    Stella made her fourth Crazy Shortcut Quilt! On this one, she writes: I have shown the back as it has a rather lovely fabric with ‘wols’ (owls) on it. I went a bit over the top and added two more designs which I knew she would like. One of the seaside to remind her where…
