I'm so excited to share my latest quilt design, called Scrappy Geese! It is a super fun, scrap friendly, colorful flying geese inspired quilt. I designed it for a new quilt pattern company called Quilt Theory. The story behind Quilt Theory is a cool one... In February 2016, a group of quilters connected to cultivate relationships with others running businesses in the quilting industry. A tight-knit group was quickly woven together as we shared successes, answered questions, and supported one … [Read more...]
2016 Mid Year Review
Although I was fashionably late with my New Year's goals, Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirl has generously invited anyone to join her mid year review link up.

The Minis Blog Tour Quilt
About a month ago, Pat Bravo put out the call on Instagram for quilters who wanted to try their hand at a mini quilt combining her Dare and Essentials II fabric collections.

I was sent the "Dare to Be Funky" colorway from Dare and the Azure colorway from Essentials II. I wanted to design something for this mini quilt that really emphasized how the two collections worked … [Read more...]
