A Maverick Star block for Amanda Jean’s Quilts of Valor project. This block lends itself so well to scrappy fabrics. I’m certain the quilts will be stunning. I spent way more time deciding which fabrics to use and how I wanted the center to look than piecing the block. I made this block before using…
Thank you for all the lovely comments! I know I say this each time there’s a giveaway but I have to say it again: you all are the nicest, most genuine, inspiring group of creative spirits on the planet. I’m blessed to hang around with you. Each comment brings a smile to my face and…
One of my favorite things about writing in this little space are the unexpected connections that get made. I received an e-mail last week from Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree Quilts. She’d come across a blog post showing the laundry bag from her Easiest Accessory Bags Ever pattern. Then she followed a link from that…
The Gather Up Pillow (12″ x 16″) is a cute little project I designed for Brewer Quilting & Sewing Supply (a distributor that carries the Pink Chalk Studio pattern line).

I recently started experiencing very slow response times when browsing websites on my Mac using Firefox. A painful crawl. Annoyingly slow to the point I was getting extremely frustrated. I’d select a link to follow and then wait anywhere from 3 seconds up to 10 seconds for the page to display. There are a million…
When I originally heard about this amazing endeavor I filled my box, packaged it up, and sent it off. Little did I know, one short month later, I’d be a die hard fan of Maj. Art La Flamme’s blog and obsessed with checking in and getting my daily IBOL update. Well, this inspired project is…
