Little 6″ 9-patch blocks. These are so sweet, I’m looking forward to seeing this quilt after it’s set. I would never have the patience to make enough small 9-patch blocks for a full-sized quilt but I sure do enjoy making them in limited quantities. These blocks are going to Kate of One Flew Over. Pulling…

Finish up one quilting bee and start another. I like new beginnings. I signed on to another virtual quilting bee several months ago not recording the begin dates or other specifics of participating. Fortuitously enough, as soon as I sent out the blocks from my original bee I received the first set of fabrics from…

I absolutely LOVE this pattern. The layout is very clever. There are 6 unique blocks that keep the piecing fun. They go together…
The first time I saw a quilt by Malka Dubrawsky featured on a blog I was floored. Fresh, beautiful, unique, I was in love with this talented woman’s work. Her blog, A Stitch in Dye, has become one of my favorites. I was extremely excited when she first announced she was writing a book. Well…
An e-mail arrived last spring from Jade Sims, founder of Craft Hope, a project that matches sewing and craft projects with charities. I was thrilled to be asked to design a project for the Craft Hope book Jade is putting together for Lark (to be published next year). Everything fell into place effortlessly. I was…
I took the ferry over to Seattle this afternoon to attend an opening celebration for Sarah Stine’s new shop Fabric Crush! It’s absolutely gorgeous and perfect in every way. The sun shined brightly and the air was perfectly crisp, most definitely a harbinger of great and fabulous things to come. I met Sarah right here…
