Trust Your Eyes Something about the quilt grabs your attention. Maybe it’s the colours, or the fabrics. Or maybe it’s the quilting. Take a moment to figure out what it is and if you can use it in one of your own quilts. I was drawn to the quilting in this quilt. It looks like…

My Little Wishes blocks are waiting their turn patiently. At least I think they are! My cats are keeping an eye on me and making sure I’m getting stuff done! My deadline quilt is in the mail and should arrive today at it’s destination. (Sorry but I can’t share it until next year!) I have…

I’m behind in posting. Maybe I’ve been doing too much?!! This is my attempt at catching up:) Thanksgiving Sunday was so beautiful here that we ate outside! My hosta started to turn yellow – this is the view of it I see when leaning forward in my adirondack chair on the front porch. Late last…

It’s ready! Finally! So proud to show you how easy it can be to make some liberated churn dashes. These placemats whip up really quickly.It’s a different method than the one I used in my quilt. I wanted to make the placemats match but still be different so I used the same fabric in…

It feels like with the fall weather the *Making Season* has arrived. This Selvage Coaster is made from the Florence line of fabrics by Denyse Schmidt.

I made up another placemat using some of my Story line fabric scraps. This time it’s my Eat With JOY placemat pattern. I used some of the Cotton and Steel pencils too. I love the print that looks like weaving I used on the side borders. And the pink. The orange. The fun minty green…

The layout guide for the Harvest JOY Wall hanging is ready. It’s actually been up over at the facebook group for a little bit but I forgot to mention it here! {It’s kind of like when you tell your kids to do something in your head and then think you’ve done it in real life…

I have been into making placemats again. They’re like mini quilts I can enjoy looking at while I eat!! {This version of Striped Delight doesn’t have a pocket – it does have a quilted heart 🙂 } I’ve used up some of my Story line of fabric scraps that I got from Carrie Bloomston. I…
