Hello, March! And hello row three of the Sunset Isle quilt. There were lots of flying geese popping up in the Sunset Isle Facebook group and on Instagram on #sunsetislequilt (see below), with one great option emerging of some people rotating half of the blocks to face the opposite way, rather than all going the same way.

A small bit of progress each month will build up to something big… Read More
Sometimes I feel like I’m cheating by getting to sew my blocks up first… but then I remember I’m the designer, and it’s my job, ha! With my annual quilt alongs, I typically tend to sew a month or two ahead. I’ll occasionally have bursts of creative sewjo and sew more, but I find it easier to maintain the “in the… Read More
