After a year of being too tired or too busy to do much sewing, I’m so happy to be stitching again! This project had been percolating in the back of my mind since last winter. My friend Jera of Quilting in the Rain shared with me a few images of her upcoming fabric collection just a few weeks before my daughter Susie was born last … Continue reading Sunbonnet Susie Mini Quilt[1]

When my friend Jera shared pictures of her first fabric line, I was beyond excited for her. I know how much passion and hard work and love she puts into her creations, so I was not surprised by how beautiful and timeless her first fabric collection turned out to be. I first met Jera back in 2012 when we both worked at the Stitch & … Continue reading High Tea Inspiration[2]

I’m so excited to finally present the tutorial for my High Tea Crochet Quilt! However, it’s still a work in progress. Right now it guides you through the sewing and crocheting of the squares for the blanket. I will be updating this page with the instructions for joining the squares and adding the border. The High Tea Crochet Quilt is baby blanket size, approx 44″ x 44″. … Continue reading High Tea Crochet Fusion Quilt Tutorial – Updated![3]

Not too long ago, I was reading “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert and was struck by her writing on the nature of ideas. She believes that ideas are alive and they they can jump from soul to soul in order to find the most efficient route to earth. Since I haven’t done much crafting since my son was born, and I haven’t found much inspiration … Continue reading When Fabric Meets Crochet[4]

A few weeks ago I finally finished the hand-sewn, hand-quilted hexagon blanket for my son that I started when I found I was pregnant. He’s turning 1 in two weeks! It’s amazing how times flies! Anyway, I had a bit of leftover fabric that I set aside to make a matching pillowcase.  I wanted an envelope style enclosure with a fun contrast band with a … Continue reading Toddler/Travel Pillowcase Tutorial[5]

Right now the baby is asleep, the house is clean, and I feel like I’ve been in possession of super powers for the past 2 days.  This afternoon two dear friends from my Stitch & Sew days came over for a visit. One of them is due to have her second boy in about a month, so I racked my brain over the weekend for … Continue reading Baby Pants[6]

Yellow is a color that I don’t see used very often in quilting. It’s terribly bright and can easily become overwhelming. (At least to my unaccustomed Seattleite eyes.)  As I’ve been working on Freddy’s hexagon quilt, I’ve had a love/hate relation with the yellows I included.  When the quilt is bunched up on my lap, I love the pops of color. But when I lay … Continue reading Patches of Sunlight[7]

This weekend I’m attending the baby shower of a friend from college. It’s the first shower I’ve been invited to since becoming a mom, so I wanted to make something special and useful that wouldn’t take too much time in the sewing room.  (I’m also playing the piano for a school musical this week, so I’ve only had a few nap times to spare.)  I … Continue reading Storybook Burp Cloths and Bibs[8]

Last Friday, Freddy and I drove up to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival with my mother.  We brought a picnic lunch and spent all of the late morning/early afternoon at RoozenGaarde.  The sun came out as we walked out to the fields.  There we rows upon rows of red, purple, and yellow tulips; and fields of daffodils, too.  I brought home nearly five dozen tulips, … Continue reading Tulip Fever[9]

One of my favorite parts of quilting is the gathering of fabric.  Sometimes a quilt comes together quickly.  I spot a collection or a fat quarter bundle that I love and a quilt idea is born.  Other times the fabric comes together slowly, a fabric or two at a time.  As as the collection grows, so does the plan for a quilt.  This was the … Continue reading Hand-Pieced Hexagons[10]
