In January I wrote about how to set up your fabric stash so it worked for you. Well this month I want to talk about how you can actually use your stash in any type of quilt pattern, making it scrappy (even if it doesn’t have the instructions for a scrappy version).

I need to do something creative every day, but was finding that often my schedule was getting in the way of even having 10 minutes free for creative things.

This year one of my big goals is to use more of my fabric stash. After all, I have all of this beautiful fabric that I have bought. I should use it in some projects.

So, November may be a little early to start talking about the new year and making plans for what is coming up, but as I see more and more coming out about what everyone is doing next year I thought, well why not jump in and let you all know what is coming up for the rest of this year (basically December) and in 2024? So without further ado, here we go!

How many people have a hard time taking good pictures of their quilts? I am definitely one of you. I find it isn’t an easy task but one I always want to do, and not just to share the quilts with all of you but so that I have a record of the quilt.

It’s the final day of the Christmas in July Blog Hop and I just want to say thank you to everyone who has participated. Over the past week there have been great ideas for decorations, gifts and kid friendly projects.

Christmas in July is a favorite not quite holiday. For many of us, Christmas in July is hot… really hot. Not exactly quilt weather… or is it?

It always feels a little strange to start thinking about Christmas in July, but as a quilter it is an absolute must.

Last night the first two patterns in the new Step Up Series went live. This is something I have been working toward for a while, and am very happy to see finally come to fruition!

When you start looking into being a more sustainable quilter it can be overwhelming, from ethically sourced fabric, to reducing your carbon footprint and more. And like many things when the information becomes overwhelming it may feel easier to tune it out.

Not a formal bed, it is a cross between a pillow and a quilt that can be easily moved to help accommodate your cat's rotating nap schedule.

Last month I attended my first QuiltCon and it was both a fantastic experience (can’t wait for next year!) and very overwhelming.

I can’t believe that 2022 is over. It seems like so much of this past year just sped by in a blur and I completely lost track of time. I had the best of intentions of getting all of these different things done, catching up on a bunch of projects and actually relaxing over the holiday break.

Hi Folks! Welcome to Day 6 of the MyNYC Pillow Panel Blog Hop. If you have been following along you have seen some fantastic ideas for different ways to use the Pillow Panel (hello holiday sewing and thank you Gotham Quilts!) and I am going to be adding one more.

I finally have something I can talk about! If you have been following along on Instagram you know that right now I am working on a bunch of secret projects that I can’t share; all I can say is that they are going well and once I can talk about all this excitement, watch out, because I have a ton of tips and different stories to share with you.

I am very excited that the Sailing Quilt Along is going to be starting in just a couple of days! The fun begins on September 12th! This is a great pattern for beginners who want to learn a little something new and gain some more experience.
