Happy Holidays! I’m still on break and looking forward to a few more days of quilting and organizing my quilting space. For Christmas this year I finished a quilt to gift to my brother – finally! As soon as I saw this fabric line, Holiday Homies by Tula Pink, I knew I had to make…
I’m pretty excited to be making time in my hectic holiday schedule to squeeze in a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt! Believe it or not, these are the only fabrics I had to buy for the mystery. I got the rest from my stash. If you follow me on Instagram you can see a photo of…
The season of gifting is upon us! I hope all my American readers enjoyed the Thanksgiving weekend. Last week was my first holiday gifting opportunity this year at my Quilt Guild’s Christmas dinner. The lemon meringue pie was amazing! And so were the mug rugs! Everyone made two and wrapped them up to swap. I…
I’m doing two! Yes, always an overachiever – or at least an enthusiastic planner! – I am making two mystery round robins with my quilt guild this year. My second one will be a modern quilt for me – or at least for my household. I used a Kaffe Fassett print as my inspiration and…
This is my first year participating in my guild’s mystery quilt. This year it’s a Roosting Round Robin – a quilt usually made in medallion-style (going a ’round’ the center) but I’m changing it up a bit and making it two different ways to boot! It started with this lovely pack of pre-cut 2 1/2″…

This is the first in a new series of posts that I will share here on my blog, Sew Joy Creations. It is my hope that another quilter or someone with knowledge about quilt blocks and their names will be able to assist me in solving these mysteries. When/if a case is solved I will…
Welcome September! School is back in session and wow, what a difference a month makes. Everyone in our house goes back to school with two teachers, a 5th grader and a 12th grader. All different, but the same – kind of like what quilt blocks can look like when we participate in block of the…
Welcome! This post will show you how to cut fat quarters into 10″ squares to use in a quilt project. One of my quilting goals recently was to make a quilt for my brother using my Churn, Baby, Churn quilt pattern. …
