Star Blossoms: An EPP Liberty Mini Quilt

You know those moments where you try something new and challenging and then it works and you just want to squeal and shimmy in glee? This English paper pieced Liberty mini quilt is one such moment. Me, English paper piecing, what?! Mercifully, I decided to tackle it again by choosing to use my rapidly growing Liberty stash, because […]

So This Happened

I happened to see Jodi at Tales Of Cloth post a Liberty destash on Instagram, and I gave in #oopsnotoops I didn’t even quite know how much/how big, I just said yes.

Baby’s First Pincushion

I have a confession. I’d never made a pincushion until last week. Not once, not anything!

Nebula Mini Quilt Tutorial

When I agreed to help sew and blog along with the Farmer’s Wife 1930 Quilt Along, aka The Project That Shall Not Be Named ahem, one of the bonus perks that came out of it was receiving the From Marti Michell templates that would help make the blocks. So when Angie suggested the Marti Michell Mini Quilt […]

Dirty Thirty Tula Blue

We are now a third of the way through the Tula Pink City Sampler quilt along on Instagram! It’s been so much fun making this quilt, and last week I laid out all the blocks I’d sewn so far and I’m thrilled with how it’s coming along. I’m needing to have another big sit-and-cut session so […]
