Gatekeeper Quilt Kit in Nautical Blues I cannot get enough of the Gatekeeper Quilt. It takes on a different personality with each version I make. This is my 4th Gatekeeper. I just keep coming back. It’s construction is made up of squares and rectangles only. Add strip piecing to boot… It’s an oldie, but goodie. Here is the Nautical Blues version of Gatekeeper. Printed Pattern | PDF Pattern | Kit Kona Blues + a Riley Blake Navy Stripe I wanted to make this version of Gatekeeper using all shades of blues. I already had these shades of blue in my stash from the Lakeside Sampler Quilt. I thought ..read more

My new book Hoop Quilts for Beginners looks at mini quilts with a slightly different eye. Break out of the BLOCK! Quick, inexpensive, different, ROUND and super fun. What are Hoop Quilts? Most mini quilts are exactly like their name. A miniature version of a quilt. Small sized, usually less than 36”, traditionally bound, and intended more for display than use.

Today I’m sharing a quilt finish……. loooooong time in the making. I started working on this Jack and Benny Quilt in November of 2018. I had to scroll way back on Instagram to figure out exactly when I started this project. In my on-again, off-again approach to this project, the final pics are proof that good things come to those who wait! It took forever… but it was worth it! Started November 2018. Proof that patience pays off! I selected a variety of grey prints from my stash. I wanted to put all shades in this quilt. I have lights, mediums and darks. Some are grey greys, some are more grei ..read more

The Hygge Sampler Quilt Pattern: Block #8 Mittens

Get the Pattern Here we are at August and Block #8. It’s hard to imagine needing mittens right now, as the heat is blazing here in the late summer. But let’s do out best to get in the hygge mood this month. We are sewing 3 Mitten blocks. When I think of fall and winter, I love how knitted hats and mittens have become not just items to be used in cold weather, but also a fashion statement that completes a cozy look. Do you reserve mittens and a beanie for only days when it snows? Or are they regular wears in winter months? I’m always cold, so they are a cool weather staple for me. GET STARTED ..read more

Get the Pattern Block #7 is one of my favorites! This month we are sewing 2 Furry Friend blocks. Oh my gosh, what would we do without pets! It is amazing how their presence can fill our homes and bring so much joy and laughter. We have 3 cats, and although they are almost silent, it is unbelievable how much love and depth they bring to our home. They are always around when one of my boys is upset, and needs 5 minutes of petting time to calm down. One loves to come sit on my lap and knead my side while she purrs. Pets are good company indeed.
