Modern quilt teacher and patterns
When you design quilt patterns, you typically make at least 2 different versions of the quilt just to make sure it’s all working properly. But mostly because you have so many palette and fabric ideas to use for the pattern, ha! For my Double Dash quilt pattern and its two different block sizes, I clearly had to make at least… Read More
I love to set a public deadline for a pattern release, as I’m the kind of person who thrives on having a deadline to work towards… so when it came time to get Double Dash happening, well, what better day than my birthday to set as release day!

Earlier this month, I locked myself in my bedroom with my laptop and headphones right before I had to do the school drop off. Not my usual morning routine, but this was for a special reason… I was recording an interview with Pat Sloan for her podcast! I’ve actually chatted with her before on her podcast 4 years ago when… Read More
