12 years ago I wrote the tutorial for these Sprocket Pillows and shared it here on my blog...it's been my most popular tutorial ever since.

Whenever I'm overwhelmed with life and stressed out by all that I need to get done....you can count on me starting a totally unnecessary quilting project.

Meet the Kitty Cats! I’ve had this quilt on my mind ever since making my Chickens quilt a few years ago. It uses a similar layout as that quilt…but the kitties are definitely quicker to make. I had such a hard time narrowing down fabric to make this quilt…anything would be cute in these big blocks. How cute is the backing fabric with the cats on it?!!! I found it here…it was too perfect not to buy even though I have tons of backings already. Most of the fabrics I used in this quilt are from this adorable fabric line Birdsong by Gingiber. The colors are so happy, and the mix of scales is perf ..read more
