Super Cute Project with Spring Brook
Look at this adorable pattern using Corey Yoder's Spring Brook fabrics. The pattern is free on Fatquatershop.com, and I plan to make it with two charm packs and a bit of extra yardage. The quilt is a mini, at about 30 inches square. How cute would this be on an Easter dining table? Or any…

Summer in Kansas is Calling to Me
I am getting quite excited about sewing this new project. It is Summer in Kansas by Carrie Nelson. I want to make this quilt exactly like she did because I can't imagine it being any more perfect.

Oh My Goodness. Going Batty.
Can you even? Is this not the cutest little Halloween block ever? Actually, it is two blocks from the Night Flight pattern by Basic Grey. The fabric is Hallo Harvest by Basic Grey. This was a $130 purchase I do not regret whatsoever. I am thinking I may not make the entire quilt, but make…

Stripping
My friends, I have been starching and cutting fabric for a week! I am going to make the Temecula Quilt Company's One Block Sew Along (which is actually over). I wanted a huge variety of fabrics. There will be around 360 blocks and I did not want to repeat combinations. That meant 45 lights and…

Starting Something
Well, this weekend I started something. And it's been awhile since that has happened. Honestly, I just have not been excited about any new projects lately. None of the latest collections, or patterns or color schemes have appealed to me much. I don't recall ever being in such a creative slump. All the designs by…
