. . . that I think I really love! Now, to decide how to quilt it. . . any ideas?
“Perfect Puddles” Modern Circle Sampler Quilt
Guess what mom? I’m a teacher now! I’m teaching my “Perfect Puddles” Modern Circle Sampler Quilt at Sew Modern in Los Angeles. My mother always said that I’d be a teacher – I just don’t think she thought I would teach quilting. 😉 So fun! We had our first session this past Saturday but, if you’re interested you can still …
I’m Such a Quilt Geek!
I look so serious in this picture. (This is actually my I need to find my glasses look! Haha!) We had so much fun learning how to long arm yesterday. Talking about serious quilt geeks. I’ve already started dreaming of all the things I can do with it. Oh, the possibilities! I can’t wait until February 1st when Sew Modern …
Harold the Bear and the B-Boy Quilt
As some of you know, I’m a little obsessed with giving gift “sets” for baby gifts. Generally the set will be a quilt and bibs, burps and a ball. But, this time it is a bear. And I actually saw the pattern for the bear first and then whipped up this quick quilt to go with the bear. I am …
Herringbone Linen – Modern Whole Cloth Quilt
I love looking at quilting in new and fresh ways. Oftentimes “new and fresh” refers to looking at traditional and established methods and making them your own. I’ve been thinking a lot about designing whole cloth quilts. I’m a little hesitant in calling this a “whole cloth quilt” because most whole cloth quilts are such intricate works of art. I’ve …
Bricolage & Butter Bee Blocks – the Finale
I am officially, THE WORST BEE MEMBER EVER. Not proud of it, but, it’s officially a fact. So, I spent my vacation in December catching up! I figured I should at least start the new year off being all caught up. I don’t know why I’m so bad, but, I think that my Bee blocks get in the way of …
Measured Improv: Love Potion #9 (Wonky Hexagon Quilt)
Hexagons are perfect in so many ways. One of the reasons they are so perfect for quilts is because they are the only other regular polygon, besides for squares and regular triangles, that will tessellate. I hope I didn’t lose everyone in that last statement. In plain English this means that you can piece together regular hexagons over and over …
WIP’s: A Pixel Quilt
Does having the fabric cut out count as a WIP (Work In Progress)? 🙂 I hope so because I don’t even have the quilt laid out yet. But, I’ve been dreaming about a pixel quilt for a long time. Here are my fabrics – 20 Kona Cottons. I can’t wait! Have a good week everyone!
Jack-In-The-Box Modern Baby Quilt
This must be the year of the baby! This is the fourth baby born in my office this year and we only have about 20 people! And, we still have one to go! Not to even start counting my friends. . . . But, I’m not complaining. More babies mean more fun baby gifts to make and give. I was …
Quilt Inspiration: Las Vegas Trip
I’m constantly taking metal snapshots of everything around me and auditioning them out for quilt patterns. My family thinks I’m a little cuckoo because I tell them I see quilts everywhere I go. My parents, when they were visiting a few months ago, especially got a kick out of it and started to do it for me. We’d see a …
