Like my Botanics quilt pattern, new pattern Everglade quilt pattern is a design set where I let myself get carried away with possibilities. It started off with the larger (throw-sized) one, ...
Projects
New Quilt Pattern: Ebb.
A colorful array of stacked crescents is where my Ebb quilt began. I'm ALWAYS a fan of projects where you can use little bits of a lot of different things. (E.g. this ongoing Arcs project, any of ...
New Quilt Pattern: Envelopes.
First up is new Envelopes quilt pattern. My new patterns seem to be on an E theme... Envelopes, Ebb and Everglade--these are the new guys. I'm a paper person and a letter person, which is exactly ...
In the studio: Sept 2015.
I took this picture 2 weeks ago. My sewing room faces west, so it's not uncommon to get a little bit of (sun-setting) drama towards the end of the day. This afternoon was one of those nice ones when I ...
Summer shorts: Essex and Interweave Chambray.
It's been a toasty summer--not that I'm complaining--I prefer the heat over the cold any day. But because of that, I can never have too many pairs of shorts. It's what I live in, and I thought it'd be ...

Scrappy Collection Quilt: blocks are complete and attached.
As promised, I'll continually be checking in and sharing the progress of my second Collection quilt. Based on the pic I posted on IG when I first cut it out, I know that it was something like 8 ...
Handmade Style: Makeup Travel Case.
I really needed one of these. My toiletries-schelpping-when-traveling situation hasn't been very pretty lately. Or very functional, to be honest. I was basically doing the ...
Scout tee in Doewide.
This is another garment that's been on my to-sew list for a while. It's the Scout tee by Grainline Studio--a popular top that I've seen many people wear and many different versions of. It's a ...
My many Mercer tunics.
I might have gotten a little carried away with the Mercer Tunic pattern by Whitney Deal... I've now made 4 of them over not that long of a time period... There are several things that I like ...
Big Stitch coasters to keep.
I've been wanting to make myself a set of these big stitch coasters ever since I made them for this tutorial, and I finally got around to doing that recently. I love projects like this, because ...
A new Collection quilt.
Spoiler Alert: I've been on a making binge lately. In all ways and with all things. Does that ever happen to you? A few weeks ago, I looked in to my closet and felt completely sick of ...
QuiltCon West.
Hi hi! Well tomorrow (June 25, 10am EST) registration opens for QuiltCon West. Because of that, I thought I'd share the three classes that I'll be teaching. It should be fun! + 632 Facing East . ...
Post Quilt in Essex Linen.
I've been going through some Essex linen lately. The texture is really nice, Robert Kaufman just added a bunch of new colors, and I've been loving the versatility of it. It works for clothes and ...
You Inspire Me to Quilt…Dinosaurs.
This was a really fun project. When Cheryl approached me about participating in her next book, I didn't hesitate too much, because I was intrigued by the premise, which was to find someone to ...
Collection Quilt Participating Shops
Howdy, friends and happy Friday! As promised here are some of the shops who are planning to carry my Collection quilt (Block of the Month) in some form--some will be selling the pattern outright, ...

Spoonflower swatch shirt.
I'm working on refining my summer wardrobe staples, and one thing that I know is that cotton lawn will be a big part of that equation. This is why I eagerly said yes to trying out the new cotton lawn ...
Wiksten Tova in Carolina Gingham.
I do love the Tova tunic by Wiksten. I also love grids. And gingham. And Grey. So this version was right up my alley. Fabric: Carolina Gingham from Robert ...
