WainwrightAL #6: Finish.
WainwrightAL #6: Finish. Somehow we've made our way to the end--or at least to the end for now. I often have mixed feelings at the end of a project. There's always a part of me that is ...

Wainwright Quilt Along Announcement.
Hi, hi! Are you in the mood for some handwork? I am, or maybe it's safe to say that I pretty much am always in the mood. It's relaxing...and fun...and portable. While I love handwork, I know ...
Sessoms Quilt In Gleaned Fabrics.
My Sessoms quilt was one of my very first patterns. It's a design that I've enjoyed making through the years, as well as one that I've enjoyed seeing others make. For many reasons, it's been a long ...
Gleaned Pillow Shams using Rin and Alturas patterns.

Eads QAL #12: Finished Top.
Eads QAL #12: Finished Top. The top is done! What an adventure. But let's back up a bit. Since I've been documenting this entire process, I thought it'd be fun to do a video of the ...

Eads QAL #11: Finished Blocks. As I mentioned last week, I decided to skip ahead and finish all blocks this week so that I can sew together the top for next week. Woohoo! As I mapped out ...
