Half hearted? No way! Just working on the baby sized, super colorful version of my "Heartstrings" pattern and oh, am loving the colors! This pattern will be available at my February retreat (a couple open seats - swipe to see, then message me) and then later in 2022 for everyone!

I'm positively giddy about the new holiday fabric

I'm positively giddy about the new holiday fabric that arrived from @hoffmanfabrics over the weekend. Yes, we just wrapped up the 2021 winter holidays, but as of today it is only 335 days until Christmas 2022! That sound like just enough time to write, review, test and get everyone a terrific new pattern. Swipe to see the Holiday Wishes quilt (designed in #EQ8 from @theelectricquiltcompany!)

It's been nearly a week since I've played in my studio. The reality of having a quilting related business is that I often spend more time with my laptop than my sewing machine but today I'm breaking away to nurture my need for fabric play, color therapy and tactile creativity. What's on your cutting table for the weekend?⁣

It is brrrrrr, chilly and cold in most areas of the country right now. Doesn't a wintery quilt project sound perfect? 𝗔𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 is a pattern available right now in the January issue of #AmericanQuilterMagazine from @aqsonline. It features beautiful Bali batiks from @hoffmanfabrics, was designed in #EQ8 from @theelectricquiltcompany and is surprisingly easy to make. To get your copy of the magazine (which also features other great patterns) just follow the link in my bio.⁣

Finished! My reimagined coloring of my #Conversations pattern did NOT get completed at retreat for want of three 3" squares left at home. Next time I think that I don't need to bring the extra fabric for a project along to retreat, I'll think again! Lesson learned! 😊

I love seeing how differently the same pattern finishes with individualized fabric choices and quilter's technique! These ladies all made their own unique version of my #Conversations pattern at our quilting retreat this past few days. What a talented bunch of quilters who also happened to be quality human beings! Exactly the kind of people you want to gather with to share creative energy!

We stayed at the @1914boehmhouse, which is an absolutely top notch retreat venue! Thank you to Anita and Rick for making us so comfortable, feeding us so well and being such amazing friends to all.

(There is, BTW, another retreat scheduled the weekend prior to Valentine's Day. I have a couple of seats left so if you are interested, email me directly for details.)

It's past midnight, but this retreater is still all smiles with only a modest border left to add to her Christmas fabric version of my #Conversations pattern. It's been so long since we have gathered in creative, quilty comeraderie...this weekend has been a wonderful reminder of the power of friendship and all that is good.

Another finish coming up! @sandi_ss2short used my #𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 pattern as an inspirational jumping off point. Her version features beautiful wax fabrics and batiks offset with some solid black inset pieces. What a wonderful way to take something and make it uniquely her own in all the best possible ways! Congratulations on a fabulous completed project! Love it!⁣

FINISHED! @sewingscavenger wrapped up her #𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 pattern quilt and wow, isn't it a beauty? I'm having a wonderful time gathering at the @1914boehmhouse with a group of talented quilters that I am also lucky enough to call friends. (We are all, BTW, practicing safe protocols to keep us all healthy...the ONLY thing we want to share is creative energy and friendship!)⁣

One last look and buh-bye to the "𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗡 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀" #crumbquilt using #makefabric blocks. It was a cheerful way to play with leftovers and I hope it will bring cheer to someone in #kentucky as it heads off to the #tornadorelief quilt drive coordinated by @hancocksofpaducah.

The gigantic black & white OOPs! quilt made it to my bed and ohhhhh, how I love it! It's exactly what I wanted and I've slept like a baby under it for the past couple of nights.⁣
⁣
#OOPs! was designed in #EQ8, is precut friendly (uses 5" or 10" squares) and the pattern features 8 different layout/finishing options. BUT it will also easily accommodate any other madness you want to throw at it...different size squares, quantity, layout and overall size? No problem! I love this pattern.⁣

This quilt is heading off to #kentucky for the @hancockspaducah collection drive for victims of the recent, devasting tornados. I'm honored to send a little quilty love to fellow humans (who I imagine need a hug & some hope following the terrible storms.) I hope it provides some small measure of comfort, strength and reassurance that people do care. ❤️

Pattern is #Boomerang, designed in #EQ8.

This little #sticksnstones quilt is also heading to the collection of quilty comfort being organized by the @araphahoecountyquilters for folks impacted by the #marshallfire. I know it's a holiday fabric, but by next Christmas, there will be a little person tucked into a new bed with a new snuggly quilt, so my heart is full with the giving. Reach out to the guild if you are interested in joining in sending some quilty love to Colorado.⁣

This quilt is heading off to Colorado as the @arapahoecountyquilters gather quilts for folks who lost everything in the #marshallfire a couple weeks ago. Check out their feed for more info or for how to donate some quilty comfort.

The pattern is called Square Dance and originally appeared in the Sept-2021 issue #AmericanQuilterMagazine.
It was designed in #eq8, made with fabrics pulled from my stash and quilted on my @handiquilter

Although it was originally designed for the @modafabrics @rubystarsociety @rashida_coleman_hale line of fabric called #Reign, my #𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 pattern will also make up beautifully in other fabric and color combos. I had fun recoloring and pulling from my stash for this reimagined version, now cut and ready for Thursday's retreat workshop. ⁣

It isn't necessary and isn't appropriate for EVERY quilt, but on this one (which is for me and going into the washer immediately after I finish machine binding it) I mark the fabric under the binding edge with chalk. It lets me clearly see where the fold edge really is and I can drop my needle cleanly into the binding. What an eye-saver!

Lots of pattern writing and testing underway as I partner with @hoffmanfabrics in their Winter 2022 project catalog. I love working with the people, and of course the fabrics, from Hoffman! All patterns were designed in #eq8 from the @electricquiltcompany and I'm excited to give you all this little sneak peek! Patterns will be available for wholesale/retail purchase - summer 2022.⁣
