This month’s Aurifil Artisan challenge was a whole cloth quilt. Immediately, I knew that I wanted to do organic hand quilting. This is something that I’ve wanted to try for a while but didn’t have the push to do so, until now! Although hard to capture correctly in photographs, the top fabric is a Windham Artisan Cotton Solid Aqua/White. I love the softness and lovely drape of Artisan Cottons! Huge thank you to Windham forContinue reading
How gorgeous are these fabrics? I was lucky enough to get fabric from Ruby Star Society’s newest collection, Golden Hour, in order to make a Zippy Quilt! You can see my quilt featured in their promotional video below: I had to snap a few photos of Riley on this Golden Hour Zippy Quilt before I sent it to Ruby Star Society. How cute is he?

Riley is reallyContinue reading

I started by sewing together all of my stitch & flip scraps together – one printContinue reading
Bear Path Quilt. Quick, versatile, and gorgeous in nearly every color. Have I mentioned how much I love this pattern? I haven’t shared this version in a blog post yet which is such a shame, because she is a beauty. And, she went to her forever home about a year ago! So, it is way overdue. Want to make your own?
