  • Quilt Question from Carol Crites

    I received a question from Carol and have tried everything I know to get back in touch with her, but emails bounce and Google searches are just not helping, so I’m posting both her question and my reply here in the hopes that she’ll see it. If you have any ideas on her quilt dilemma…

  • 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…

  • 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!…

  • Please Sign Up for Our Newsletter

    I’ll start off by saying that I have only the barest idea of what I am doing here, but I’ve created an account at MailChimp to begin sending out newsletters. As a blog reader, web surfer and email addict, the one thing that I like most is content that I’ve asked to receive, right in…

  • A New Quilt Design

    Hi Quilters, we found some quilt inspiration on YouTube! This quilt was inspired by a video that I watched on YouTube and that I talked my daughter Sarah into making. She loved it so much that she made about five different tops! Check back here regularly because I’ll be playing with new designs on the…

  • My Design Wall

    ***UPDATE*** I have been getting a LOT of requests for specific information on the design wall fabric that I buy. Here’s the label from the bolt of my most recent purchase: I started digging through some unfinished projects recently and put some on my design wall, then I thought I’d make a video about the…

  • My Design Wall Trinkets

    I watched a video that made me start thinking about all the things that I keep up on my walls in my quilting area. As a response to the video I watched, I made this video which thanks the original artist, Margaret Fabrizio, and shows some of my cherished bits and tells their story. The…

  • Selecting Fabrics for a Quilt

    I just discovered that I choose fabrics based on the mood I am in, which is often affected by the weather! It’s been raining for about two years here and I long for spring or summer. Soft, summery colors is what I went for when I checked my fabric stash for this quilt. I first…

  • Want to Make a Quilt With Me?

    I’ve been thinking about making another “Shortcake” quilt or else the “Easy To Go Crazy” quilt from our book. A quick and easy design. Anyone want to make a quilt with me? A quilt-a-long where we all quilt together? I have a free week coming up soon and I’m itching to cut some fabric! Let…
