I'm currently working on a sample of my quilt Ripple Effect - it's been a slow process for a few different reasons, but I'm enjoying the project all the same! Two different block sizes in one quilt, and three different quilt sizes in the pattern. There's a lot of math to check (m

These images of my Dart quilt make me even more ready for spring! Our mountains (and yards!) are full of snow as we have had winter snowfalls for the history books. While I'm ready for spring the last thing anyone wants is for it all to melt off too fast! Fingers crossed our temp

This is the quilt I'm snuggled up with right now! My scrappy Tipsy Triangles. I made this quilt in the early covid days, and it was a fantastic place to put my anxious thoughts and feelings. Unfortunately, my turn has come to deal with Covid, and I'm camped out on the couch und

My favorite tools are not at all obscure, but I would be lost without them! Kai snips, Clover Extra Fine Patchwork Pins, and the Olfa Splash rotary cutter. Kai snips are sharp and comfortable in my hand. The Clover pins glide through my fabric, and secure it without warping th
