And we are back with the Mini Masterpieces quilt along, folks! Thank you so much for understanding about needing to take a break from work, including this quilt along. I won’t lie – my book’s first year has not gone at all to plan, which has been quite hard to deal with at times. But here I am, dusting off… Read More
Christmas is a beautiful time of the year, full of meaningful traditions and experiences that we share with our families and friends. Advent is one of those traditions celebrated by millions of Christians around the world, whether it be as the start of the liturgical calendar and celebrated from four Sundays before Christmas Day, or as a daily devotional from… Read More

There was such a fantastic community response to the Happy Scrappy QAL, that I just knew we had to have another one ASAP, and this time, we’re using my brand new pattern, Backsplash. This is a very special pattern to me, having kept me somewhat sane in the first two months of quaran-down-solation by giving me something to focus on while navigating… Read More
Every time I design a quilt pattern, I get so excited to see the quilts that my amazing testers make! These wonderful ladies each make a quilt top to help troubleshoot any hiccups or niggles in the quilt pattern before it gets put out into the world. And the quilts the made for the Backsplash quilt pattern are no exception… Read More
Today’s the day – the Backsplash quilt pattern is now out! And be sure to read through to the end to find out some important shop and QAL news 😉 Backsplash might look a little familiar… And you’d be correct.
