Hunt QAL #11 Check In. Month #11?! I mean, I say that with some shock on the one hand, but then on the other hand I feel like the last couple of months could very well have been years. Either way, ...

04/14/20 Scrappy Everglade Update
Ready for a little color? I haven't worked on my scrappy Everglade blocks in forever, and I have missed it. After finishing the appliqué for Hunt, this has always been the project I wanted to come ...
04/10/20 What I’ve been Making
I always have my hands in several projects at a time, but lately I've been really hopping around. Do you do that? I thought it might be fun to share a little bit of what I've been ...
Eads Jetty Quilt and a new approach to layout and color.
This Eads Jetty quilt is my third Eads quilt and a new approach to layout and color. (See the first version here and second QAL version here.) Quilt making is inspiring; you can take the same ...
Hunt QAL #9 Check In.
Hunt QAL #9 Check In. I have 1 block to go! Although if you've been following along, in the last update I was sort of hoping to have this one done by this check in. Oh well! It's been a crazy ...
Hearts Jetty quilt
With Jetty coming out, I knew I wanted to make a Hearts quilt. Actually, I knew I wanted to make some Hearts pillow shams, but after cutting out one block and then a second, I found myself shuffling ...
Sewing Lotts
Lately I have been sewing Lotts lots. (I totally named the pattern so I could do that--ha!) This has mostly been because I am teaching a Lott workshop at QuiltCon in a couple of weeks. I'm ...

Rye Marmalade
My newest pattern is all about 2 tones, but it doesn't have to be! This Rye Marmalade version starts to show how you can change things up. One problem with selecting fabric pairs is that once you ...
Hunt QAL #5 Check In.
We're 5 months in! Crazy. It's been a good month, and I've been eager to lay everything out. Several of these blocks have been in hiding, because they use my new fabrics. Yay! I originally started ...
Hunt QAL #4 Check In.
Month #4! I've made some progress this month, which feels good. How are you plugging away? I don't usually take the time to write down highlights, goals and achievements, but since ...
Using the Arlo Templates
I thought it'd be fun to put together a little post on using the Arlo templates. They are a completely optional add-on to the project--all shapes needed are included on paper in the pattern--but I ...
Hearts behind the scenes.
Here's a little Hearts behind-the-scenes action. I was looking back through some photos, and found these shots from when I was making my new Hearts quilt. At this stage, I'd gotten all of my hearts ...
My Arlo quilt pattern.
Now that my Instead fabric collection is shipping to stores, I thought I'd take a little time to share more with you about my Arlo quilt pattern. This project was hard to keep under wraps at the time, ...
cf Hearts quilt pattern.
My new cf Hearts pattern is finally here! I love simple shapes, and the heart is lovely one to take on. While thinking about projects to make to show off my new (old) fabrics, I kept ...
Hunt QAL Month #2 Check In.
Hunt QAL Month #2 Check In. I really won't say this every month, but seriously, it's already been a month?! This month has been a fun and a productive month for my QAL project. Not only do I love ...
