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. It sounded like such a fun challenge, and I was thrilled to be selected as one of the quilters for The Minis Blog Tour. 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...]
Margot’s Baby Quilt
I finally found time to share my biggest project ever! Baby Margot was born October 17th, weighing in at 7lbs, 4oz and was 19.5 inches long. She took less time to create than some of my quilts but she was definitely the most labor intensive project I've done. haha! With all of the baby projects, I didn't have time to finish her quilt until after she was born. I had all of the blocks ready so it just took me a few long naptimes to put it together. I designed this one myself (if you can call a … [Read more...]
Barn Door Quilt Finish
Before I show you the boor door quilt, I want to send a huge thanks to Sarah from Sarah Quilts for hosting this quilt along. Her design was amazing and I had a blast creating it! If you are looking for new project inspiration you should definitely check out her blog. When I was walking around to find a location for this quilt's photoshoot, I realized that this barn door has the same lines. So of course, I started off the pictures there. This is the first quilt I've quilted without … [Read more...]
Finished Quilt! Almost Scrumptious Baby Quilt
It's done, it's done! I'm excited to show you some pics of Almost Scrumptious. It's currently in the wash and then will travel with me in the morning to Oregon for Christmas.

I finally hung up some Christmas lights in the tiny house and you can see our tiny tree in the window :) And what photoshoot would be … [Read more...]
It’s a Wrap! Baby D Chevron Quilt Finish
I wasn't kidding on Wednesday when I said this quilt was going to have glamour shots taken. I almost wish I could have staged an amazing 80s glamour set, but this quilt is a bit too modern for that kind of foolishness. There is something about quilts outdoors that gets me everytime... throw in an old building and a field of long grass and I'm basically never leaving. And what fun is a quilt photoshoot without a dog photo-bomb?! … [Read more...]
Cousin Baby Quilt Finished!
This happy little blanket is done! Yesterday was a crazy quilting day. It was my first time machine quilting and on my second row, my machine started doing weird unbalanced stitches. I would test it a few times on a practice quilt and it would be fine, but the second I started with this quilt it would be weird again. So, I decided to try using my mother in law's sewing machine (all the while getting a ton of practice on removing and adding a walking foot!). The stitches on her machine were … [Read more...]
